   The service here was wonderful from the seating host to the wait staff, bartender, and servers they were on top of things, answered questions regarding the menu and cocktails, and were very professional. The food, small bites, and shareables were flavorful and had just he right savory touches for Mediterranean food. Hands down the cocktails are delicious and creative; probably a highlight and the main reason to visit. Decor and outdoor dining were lovely, not visually distracting and comfortable for a 2 hour gathering and dining experience. Be prepared though to shout or scream your conversations at each other over the very loud music played on at least 12-16 speakers which seems set up more for a dance club environment. So anyone with hearing aids, or that is slightly hearing impaired this will not be a good place for you unless you know sign language. For the rest, it's not background music and will intrude on your conversation - be prepared to go hoarse if you want to chat or talk. My advice grab your food and cocktails, which are divine, to go and picnic elsewhere during nice weather or host at home.

   Service was a little slow. We thought she forgot about us.

   Ambiance was very lively but romantic, the service was fantastic and our server was great. Drinks were delicious and the food was amazing, we tried the whipped feta, the chicken and the lamb kabob, and we loved it all. The dessert we tried was the pistachio Dubai tart, it was very rich and complex, and scrumptious. Would come here again, me and my girlfriend went here for Valentine’s Day, and it was a great spot for that, very classy

   Dinner was amazing! Every menu item is perfectly curated and flavored, although I do wish there were more options for mains. Regardless, everything tastes great and we can’t wait to be back for brunch!

   Food and service were great but one of the menu items I really wanted wasn’t available which was slightly disappointing. Always love the beet carpaccio and the steak and caviar NYE special was delicious. Noise level was a little loud and our server had a gentle speaking voice so it was a little hard to hear her. But I love this place, one of my faves in Ballard. Will always come back.

   Highly recommended! Food, service, cocktail list, and atmosphere were perfect. I am going today again. Best steak, melt in your mouth. And the King mushroom dish? One does not miss the meat.

   Best Mediterranean meal I've had in a long time! Also, the decor of this location is outstanding, which should be considered part of the experience. Lastly, their cocktails are incredibly creative and inspiring.
