    It was a fun and lively jazz brunch. A little hard to talk and tables close together. However, we enjoyed the food very much, the drinks were great. We also enjoyed the bottomless brunch special which was a good deal. We had a birthday among us, and they did a nice job celebrating with sparklers. Would recommend!!!

    The food was excellent, the red lentil soup, avocado artichoke salad and the sesame crusted tuna were standouts and the portions are plentiful. Service was warm, friendly and attentive. We ate before peak dinner hour crowds so noise was not an issue at all. This was our first time and we definitely plan to return.

    The atmosphere was so nice. Loved the lights under the tables which makes the place so cozy. The mezze plates are delicious.

    We were here last summer, ordered a mix of mostly cold mezze and were impressed. We came back for a special occasion and it felt like a different place. The food wasn't bad but everything was either fried or soaking in oil. The amount of oil from all dishes got to an overwhelming level. If the drink service wasn't as slow, another glass of wine would have helped, but I didn't want it to come after I'm done eating. So either order wine by the bottle or forget it. Very disappointed.
