It was my first visit for dinner, after having had brunch once. We found the small plates, entrees and everything to be outstanding. The service was excellent as well. They did a very creative remodel of the former movie theater lobby space to create this two-level restaurant. It is on the pricey side, but definitely worth visiting.

We stopped for a late lunch/early dinner. Inside was almost empty-some had opted to eat outside. Service was friendly and prompt. We had red lentil soup and Adana lamb. Lamb portion was large enough to split. Very flavorful. Pistachio baklava. We definitely would return.
