    Inventive mediterranean restaurant menu. The lamb pita was delicious, slow cooked lamb spiced with a hint of mint. Loved it.

    Excellent food. Elevated experience. My phone kept telling me the decibel level were high enough after 30 mins I would experience hearing loss! Not a great conversation place unless you shout. Otherwise service and food standout

    It was difficult getting a server. Food was mediocre. Lentils and rice pilaf were under seasoned. Brussels sprouts and scallops were good.

    Food was great and ambiance is always amazing. But our table was in an extremely high-traffic area which took away any semblance of privacy and was almost uncomfortable.

    This was a business lunch and it was perfect - they have seating that is in a 'quiet area' or seating if you are out for fun. Great service and food
