We were a party of 6. The restaurant is very attractive but the noise level is LOUD. No roynd tables for a party if 6 was disappointing. The food was good but did not come out in a timely manner. Our waitress was very nice and quite apologetic but it cast a negative feeling.

Excellent!!! Attentive and friendly service. We were there for our wedding anniversary and they congratulated us when we arrived. The food was excellent, great presentation and excellent flavors. The chef, who was greek and turkish, came to our table and mention that he was doing some iberico ham with tomatoes for the guests at the bar. When he saw our facial expression, he offered to bring us some. It was so simple and yet so delicious. The confit of tomatoes was amazing. The portions are perfect to share with a table of 4. Watermelon salad was so delicious. We do that salad at home but the melon was so deep red that we asked the Chef. He told us his secret. If you want to know you'll have to ask him yourself ;) Our waitress guided us very well throughout dinner. Her recommendations were spot on. I ordered the peppercorn steak. Not that original I know but it was excellent. The chef put his special touch in every dish while maintaining the spirit of the dish. For example the peppercorn sauce was made with green peppercorn and a touch of cinnamon. It was a great combination. My wife had a Swordfish skewer. It sounds small but it was big. I am not a fan of swordfish but this fish was moist with a very flavorful Turkish paste. When I go back there I will only have a couple of skewers to share with some sides. That way I can try more dishes. Highly recommended.

Appetizers and shared plates were strong while entrees and desserts were weak in both variety and execution. Very disappointing not to have music on Saturday night, was the main tea for choosing this restaurant over others.

We sat outside, it was beautiful, peaceful and quiet, however, it was really loud inside (it didn't bother us at all but just in case you're considering indoors during summer). - Starters were excellent, ordered the fig salad, the kebab chicken and the shishito peppers. - Drinks were awful, all sweet, like grossly sweet, there was no craftsmanship there. - Main entrees were mediocre at best, the $50 lamb chops were tender and well cooked, but that was the best part. I had to scrape the terribly sweet pomegranate sauce and get salt. My wife's burger was nothing special. Fries were great 3 drinks, 3 starters, 2 main courses plus tip was $300. I had one of the best omakase experiences in my life in Vail for $300. Just for reference. I would only recommend it for starters and beer/wine, but we don't think we'll be coming back
