    Selected restaurant due to high ratings. Place is a chaotic zoo. Outdoor tables are comparable to bad lawn furniture. Server managed to douse our guest’s jacket in ketchup. Offered free dessert but after ten minutes of waiting we were told our selection was unavailable. Two toilet non-gender bathrooms for a place that probably seats over 150 people caused 5-10 minute waits. Only saving grace was three of our four meals were good. My wife’s meal should have been sent back but we didn’t have the patience. Toast on truffle eggs with mushrooms couldn’t be cut with a steak knife - we had to ask for one.

    The food was good, but too small for the price paid. The Mediterranean salad and the staff were amazing - very accommodating

    Went with a girlfriend a few days ago. I had been there once before and sat inside. We sat outside, and the heat lamps were great once it got cooler after the sun went down. The food was excellent, but the service was a bit slow. I think that's just because they were understaffed. Full patio and only two servers, one of whom was also the outdoor host.

    We celebrated my son’s college graduation here with our family and the service was excellent. Everyone loved the food. It can be pretty noisy in the restaurant, but not enough to make me not recommend it.

    Unfortunately I don't have anything positive to say about this restaurant. We were served luke warm coffee and when we requested hot coffee we waited at least 15 minutes to get it. My husband and I ordered the Shakshuka which was very disappointing; a sweet plain tomato sauce ( no actual tomatoes or peppers or onions at all, with eggs and some feta on top. Supposed to be spicy, but that was undetectable. I had hoped to eat outside, but because of the rain we were stuck inside, which was nothing special.
