Menu
This is a very charming place to have a light dinner and/or drinks. I had the falafel, the baked salmon and the chocolate plate for dessert. Everything was delicious. The service was good and the atmosphere very nice.
So. The kitchen was closed. And I had made a reservation about two weeks ago. For 8 people. You’d think they would have told me when they confirmed my reservation, but they did not. Pretty lame. They also didn’t tell us that they only had cold apps until we had already ordered drinks, so we sort of had to stay and finish. Pretty disappointing. We ended up leaving and eating elsewhere. Management: honesty is the best policy. I should have been told in advance about this grave inconvenience or told as soon as I arrived.
Great little wine bar with excellent food. Front section was bright and open-air on a nice spring day. We say in the cozy back section that felt like a living room with a big comfy couch, decorated with antiques and frogs!
Second time visiting this great neighborhood gem, first time for drink only, second time for dinner. The portions are fairly large for an "appetizer" and we had split 4 between the three for us for a full dinner. Delicious Mediterranean food. Will definitely be back! Super romantic for a quiet date night.
Most romantic spot! Excellent for kissing and flirting with someone you are attracted to..
Understaffed. But the appetizers were tasty and the wine menu was very extensive.
