    This restaurant was amazing from the greetings, drinks, food and ambiance! My boyfriend and I were there yesterday for brunch and everything we ordered, we loved! My boyfriend had the Atlantic salmon and I had the ribeye steak that was so tender and juicy!!

    The place is very nice. One of the waiters, name Mustafa was very nice and attentive. The second waiter was nice too, didn’t get his name. The food was great. The place was kinda empty which I was surprised. Hope people give it a try. Great food and service! Thanks Elia

    the waitstaff is very professional and the ambiance is great, but we waited for our food far longer than we expected. There were only 3 or 4 tables besides ours, but it seemed like orders were disorganized and not handled with urgency. they made up for the wait with free dessert.

    Loved dining on the patio. It was a little quieter than inside. Food was delicious and beautifully plated. Kitchen was a wee bit slow on. Monday night but service was great. Good value- will definitely return

    The food was sub-par. Not what we were expecting. The menus were filthy (they should clean those!) the saganaki was NOT saganaki.
