The service was excellent. The music and ambiance was great. The food was innovative and really good. We loved the chips and dipping sauces (tahini queso, piece de Gallo, eggplant), the beef kebabs (khoubideh), as well as the salad w chicken kebobs

More of a lounge vibe than nice restaurant vibe. Hard to have a conversation. Drinks were great. Food was fine.

The hostess lied to me about my reservation, even after I showed her the confirmation on my phone. The dining area is a banquette on one side of the bar with tables and uncomfortable backless stools. For the first half of our time there, a party was going on and the noise level was deafening. The food was nothing special and pretty pricey.

We didn’t get our table cloth until asked for, the meals came inconsistently and the food was alright. Was definitely expecting slightly bigger portions but other than that it was a great dinner. Also: - Had to stop by and get food on the way home because we were still hungry. - The dessert was the biggest portion out of all the course’s

We came for the Valentine’s Day special, there was a nice ambiance but very expensive and bad value. The dishes were somewhat unique but not filling. The people at the table next to us thought the same thing.
