    Mine was an unusual experience - my dinner companion didn't make it for early 5PM dinner. While waiting for an hour in a still empty very cozy & comfortable dining room with generous table spacing, my server Kevin recommended an excellent Malbec (they were out of Pinot Noirs), and I ended up leaving with takeout for a home dinner with family. The Chicken Kebab survived a quick Uber ride without needed to be warmed up -- a generous portion with perfectly grilled veggies that weren't half raw as is so often the case. And, the beet/arugula salad was scrumptious, just lightly dressed and with crunch added by sliced radishes and a sweet note from dried apricot strips. I splurged on 2 portions of freshly made Tiramisu -- delicious and clearly house-made, and 1 portion enough for three. I hope to be back soon & actually dine inhouse!!

    It is is good to note that it was a split on the meal--my friend had a kebab meat dish that was very good indeed. I had two starters, a salad and a veggie pancake (not great). Salad was fine and big, but the pancake was stodgy and wet, just not great. I want to also be fair to say that despite not having any main vegetarian dishes, as things are made from scratch, the waiter said many things could be made veggie. I just didn't opt to try any of the mains. The restaurant is charming and a definite go to if you want to hear the person you are with, intimate and lovely. The waiter was great and he twins as a bartender. I asked for a drink he had never made, he looked it up and it came back perfectly. So even though our review is not strong, and I would suggest to the restaurant maybe consider one veggie entree that is done for a veggie (not a conversion, I would say still go. Good option in the area.

    We really wanted to love this place since we live a block away but, we walked in and there was only 2 other tables occupied. We asked for one of the 3 open end tables and was immediately told that they were reserved - the actual table was reserved seems a little off but whatever. The kicker was that we perused their menu ahead of time and were a little shocked that the online price was different from the printed menu price. The owner told us he has a new website and the one I viewed was old, that was it - zero apologies and nothing offered except to pay the higher price. Again, wanted to love and support this local eatery but as a customer, I felt like I was taken advantage of.

    We really wanted to thank you for coming and supporting local business since you are only a block from us. Though, your feedback may have misled majority of our customers. Firstly, we have limited space as a small local restaurant . To demand a changed table table on Saturday night for two guests is unlikely possible. Fact was those tables were have already assigned to other guests accordingly to the number of guests that reserved those tables. Secondly, the price of your concern item was written on the actual menu. Thirdly, both front staffs confirmed that they did apologize for the confusion about the website. Lastly we appreciate all supports and are trying to improve everything we can for all customers maximum satisfaction.

    We have dined here many times and every time is extremely enjoyable. Tonight was no different with excellent, friendly service and delicious food. I had the lamb shank and found it very tender and flavorful. Kevin is an excellent server.

    Loved the seafood risotto. Many restaurants make it too salty but theirs was not!

    The room is lovely. The food is good. The service is slow at best. We were there at 5:45 and it was not that crowded. I think the kitchen has problems as well as the servers. There doesn't seem to be anyone in charge.
