    A sign of how much we enjoyed the dinner, celebrating a birthday, is being too full that a walk afterwards was required to just get back to uncomfortable. ;)

    Felt rushed. Food was good… We were offered 2 tables to chose from even though the place was not full. Asked to to sit on the benches by the fire but we were told that there was a reservation for 14 people at 6:30pm (only a couple sat there until we left around 7:15pm). We sat on one of the tables they offered us and at around 7pm they told us that they needed the table for another reservation (We were still drinking our wine).

    It was a quiet evening. We were greeted and seated promptly. Service was good as was everything we ordered. We were disappointed with the wine list. There used to be a reasonable selection of Greek wines at reasonable prices. Today there is just one Greek red wine at an eye popping $75! Similarly, the vast majority of red wines were $65 or more! The Petros 2021 Semeli wine from the central coast of CA was on exorbitant $75! 😕 Almost all wine by the glass was around $20! 😕 While food prices were ok, the prices for wine were just absurd.
