    Their food was very delicious, the service was also good. It might be better if you can prepare your all you can eat, but overall it was a nice experience.

    We sat outside and our server was okay. The food was okay but it gave us stomach aches, and usually when we go out and eat, then never happens to us.

    The restaurant was out of four bottles of wine and several menu items, which the server was unaware of until we placed our order. This lack of communication led to an unsatisfactory experience, and I will not be returning.

    Service was wildly subpar. Understaffed and we seemed to be forgotten about. Half our meal was forgotten about - the server did try to make it right to his credit but that was even a flop (should have just comped us the forgotten part of the meal rather than giving us a dessert and odd/gross app that we didn’t want).

    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.
