    Food overall was decent. Flatbread - delicious. Fried calamari had more fried vegetables than calamari. Service was manic and forgetful. Closed at 9:30 PM but was told last call for food and drink at 8:45. Didn't expect our 8:15 reservation would put us in that much of a pinch.

    Great place for a business meeting. The server was friendly, attentive and brought the food quickly. Nice salad options with protein which I love! Also it was a quiet environment for a private meeting. Definitely enjoyed it and will come back!
