    The food is consistently delicious and I tried the the new bone marrow dish which was delicious and healthy and we had the cheese appetizer and we had the cheese with honey and we had the fries that are made with corn,spinach dip and the chicken legs without the saucy sauce and the hearts of palm and the Very decadent delicious chocolate cake. It was a feast that we all greatly enjoyed as usual and we had terrific service and the manager Carlos did a terrific job because we had so much food on the table and the way he ordered it and served it was terrific I also had the great lamb chops and beef bone.

    Fun place, great people! The staff always makes all the difference in every restaurant. The big open space with all the windows open on a beautiful day made for a fun dinner. We loved all the options, and our server walked us through all the options. I loved the Greek wine choices, and my son loved the cocktails.
