Food was excellent. Server seemed a little distracted but provided good service and great recommendation of the chicken. Weather was rough for outside dining and hostess did her best to offer us a table inside. We arrived 30 minutes before our reservation yet we were seated immediately. Music was a little loud for conversation buy was over before the main dinner hour. Received a prompt response from the restaurant to my question on Open Table. Corkage fee reasonable at $40. Website prices outdated.

My food tasted great, especially the Moroccan spice shrimp. The middle eastern salad was also great as were my green beans. Our service was excellent. However, I was greatly disappointed with the minimal seafood choices. Swordfish or Mahi Mahi. If it wasn’t for that and the extremely high noise level, I would have given it five stars. I also enjoyed my wine by the glass selection of Peju Merlot.

The only thing that I was annoyed with, was the fact that there was a mandatory 4% gratuity, tacked onto the bill for the kitchen personnel. To me, it’s a little bit excessive. Either pay your kitchen personnel, enough or let everyone share in all the tips.
