    Difficult reservation to get and I understand why. Really great menu of classic Mediterranean dishes done really really well. Easy to stack together a bunch of small plate for a satisfying shared dinner. The sampler of dips is the way to go for the indecisive diners! The charred octopus was super tender and full of flavor. Suprise star was the broccoli side dish...the black garlic tahini sauce was a different spin and a great surprise. Also high praise for our server, Ashley. She was attentive without being overbearing. We were for sure that annoying table of friends that had so much catching up to do the last thing on our minds was cracking open the menu. She checked in without pressuring us to order and that elevate the whole experience.
