The service can be better: as an example, we ordered bottled water. Later on, the same waitress came with tap water and filled our glasses, mixed two waters in the same glass - not a big deal, but tasted different. We ordered a bottle of wine. The bartender opened the bottle at the bar and poured our glasses without offering us a taste beforehand. Bottom line - the staff is friendly, the food was good ( but lack of spice, salt, and a Mediterranean twist), our friends were amazing as usual, and overall we had a good time.

Superb mediterranean cuisine. Try the Lebanese wines. They are excellent. All chicken and seafood is fresh and tasty. Mediterranean dips are homemade and authentic.

My wife and I were really excited to try this new restaurant as Top Chef fans. The food was disappointing especially for the price. More expensive than most of Stamford and the lamb shank specifically was under seasoned and not very tasty. Octopus was good but the serving size was laughable for the price.

Our group of 4 ordered mostly small plates and 2 pizzas. Everything we ordered was very flavorful, but a few things lacked seasoning (salt) such as the mushrooms and onion rings. The octopus was excellent as was the hot honey pizza. The halloumi cheese with watermelon was so good! We also tried the tuna and the falafel, which were both good, but nothing special. Their homemade tahini was so good we wanted a whole container of it to take home! One entree was ordered - the lamb shank. Those who shared it said how tender and perfectly cooked it was. They loved it! Our drinks were wonderful too - the espresso martinis were excellent, as was the strawberry lemonade mocktail. Our server was great too! Very attentive & helpful.

Overall, we had a good time. But when we first sat down, we were given the option of sparkling or still, and my partner unfortunately said still not realizing tap was an option. It is an option! $9 water. I don’t like that sneaky maneuver. We enjoyed the food, but felt like the menu was a little all over the place. It’s a little Mediterranean, but American and there’s pizza. The space is very tight. My partner thought the TV screen was distracting, it was just scenery pictures. I hope the menu develops more and this restaurant does well in Stamford.

The four of us shared small plates! Our absolute favorite was the octopus; it was so tender and cooked perfectly. The halloumi cheese with watermelon was very good. We loved the crispy cauliflower with a fabulous sauce. The French fries had a sauce on them, too, and they were just scrumptious! Meatballs, beet salad, green goddess salad. I want to try more. We will go back soon!

Enjoyed our experience here. It’s nice to have a different type of restaurant in Stamford. Beef bourguignon was a real stand out
