    Great take on mediterranean. Excellent service. Strobe lights were a little much though (but you can sit outside if you'd prefer).

    The presentation of the food was excellent, and everyone at my table thoroughly enjoyed their meals. While the taste and flavor didn’t leave a lasting impression on me, they were still quite enjoyable. However, we visited for dinner and unfortunately, many of the options were sold out or unavailable. Despite this, I would still consider returning, but not anytime soon.

    Food was delicious. It took longer than it should have to get our drinks, but it was crowded and our waiter - who was very personable - did his best. It was difficult to hear each other speak. I highly recommend the lamb dish with eggplant and rice.

    We loved all of our food, especially the meat platter for two. Highly recommend! Try their homemade hot sauce, it’s delish. Can’t wait to go back.

    Every piece of food we had here was exceptional. Had brunch with my in-laws. For 5 people, we ordered the chef’s mezze platter, a salad a soup and the meat and sea bass for 2. The mezze were rich and flavorful, lentil soup is the best I’ve had, Greek salad vinaigrette was the perfect balance, and every piece of meat or fish we had was cooked and seasoned TO PERFECTION. This place gets a 4 because of the level of service and attention to detail. We were handed dirty menus and had to wait forever to order even though the restaurant was near empty. You can’t quite charge the prices they charge with that level of service.
