    Everything was absolutely amazing. Our waiter was so accommodating and understanding. The food was incredible. The fish was fresh and beautifully plated. The overall ambiance of the restaurant makes you feel as though you are dining in a movie. I recommend booking a dinner reservation. The ambient lighting, jazz music, and magical views of the cityscape create an enchanting, and intimate feel hard to replicate!

    Beautiful restaurant, the staff are very polite, pleasant and provide excellent customer service. Had a valentines day date there and the ambience and professionalism was top notch. Food was a little expensive for what it was, but seeing as it was a Valentine's day setlist that is to be expected. Would highly recommend this place!

    My friends and I found this place randomly after a concert one evening and we have gone back several times. Each time it has been such a good vibe and there is always delicious Greek food. The Sangrita is so refreshing and perfectly blended. The appetizer we always get is the Guac which comes with fried pita and pomegranate seeds topped with feta crumbles. Highly recommend this place. The staff was super accommodating as well. I look forward to coming back!
