    Beautiful place, service was wonderful, food was good ,but to really experience the place, I wished that I dined downstairs, instead of upstairs. Upstairs was dark, no view, cute decorations, but just regular.

    Worth the wait! The food was excellent and reasonably priced. The food came out quickly as well. Our server was lovely. Above all, the restaurant was decorated impeccably. Not one detail was missed. We will definitely come back!

    First time here, it was a good experience and the food was really good. We ordered the appetizer platter and the lamb shank. The lamb was so easy to eat and it was delicious. The only negative thing was we were seated and no one came by to take our order or drinks for a long time. We ended up flagging down a server from a different table so we could order and it was a little awkward once our actual waiter came. I would love to go back and try more of their food.

    The ambiance is fantastic. The food just gets better compared to the last time I was there which is awesome. It’s a fun and unique place. I’ve been there 5 times and can’t wait to go back.

    My chicken skewer and salmon were raw, but the restaurant made up for it by giving me dessert, hummus, and bread.
