All 3 dips that we got were very good . Eggplant salad was excellent! Lamb skewers and falafel were delicious. Wasn’t crazy about the pita as I’m used to the thicker Greek pita.Baklava wasn’t up to par, but next time I’ll try the katifi pastry with cream .Service was excellent. My husband and I had a lovely time and will definately be coming back!

We had a great meal at Apricot Stone! The food was excellent, the service was great - even though there was only 1 server, she was killing it and provided great service. Gotta love a BYO as well! The food came out promptly and was delicious and high quality. Some of the best spanikopita I've had in a long time!

Great restaurant, food and service. But just be prepared to have a hard time finding parking. Allow time for that in case you have a reservation.
