Reviews
Really loved this place. Super cozy restaurant with great service and Mediterranean food. Nice wide selection of options as went with a groups of gals. My favorite was the different dips of feta and hummus so good as well as the tossed cucumber/ tomatoe Nice not heavy food- recommend
Had brunch there with a few friends for the first time yesterday. Very laid-back, low key place which we all enjoyed. Nice service, great food, good music & delish desserts! Recommend!
Exceeded our expectations 🔥 The food was perfect. The steak was probably one of the best steaks I’ve had (that wasn’t at a steakhouse). Milot was attentive and swift. The ambiance was chill and cool. Love the music and interior design. Will definitely be back with friends and family. Highly recommend this restaurant.
Honestly, I don’t even know where to start. We were a large group and majority ordered burgers, the waitress told us no extra charges would be made if we chose truffle fries instead of regular. After ordering, the waitress then came back and said “we don’t normally charge extra for the truffle fries, but since you guys are a large group, it’s going to be $2 extra.” Most of us then declined. We waited over an hour for our food to arrive and when we got our food we were surprised at how small the portions were. I think my plate literally only had 5 fries on the side with the burger. However even with the wait, we did not complain or start a problem. Then we got the check, and we noticed they charged us extra $ for cheese on the burger?? We were not made aware that a slice of cheese on the burger would be an extra charge. We were also charged extra drinks. We spoke to the waitress and the manager about the situation and the manager said “you guys took up my table for 2 hours for $20, come on.” That just completely ticked us off. We did not wait there for that long just to waste our time, we were waiting on the food? On top of that we had to then tip 22% because gratitude was included. I would not recommend this place to anyone, food was not even good and their customer service was horrible. They completely rigged us and were disrespectful when we were a large party paying an expensive bill. After insulting us with the $20 comment, the manager then told us he would take the extra charges off. The situation could of been handled in a much more respectful and professional matter.
We had a wonderful experience overall, I would give this spot solid 4.7⭐️
We went for lunch. Food was exceptional and great value for price-quality-size.
Very polite staff. A bit of a European-family vibe in terms of service - but I do like it a lot, so no issues on my end.
Cute-casual interior.
We went for dinner with my friends! The drinks are delish and very well presented 👌
The staff is very friendly and polite and very attentive! The food was good we got to share some of the plates as the portions are good sized.
This guy was the star of the night! Everything we needed it was there! Thank you Leonard for making our night!
Absolutely love this place. Went for dinner, and the food and drinks was amazing. Everything was so delicious! The service here is top tier — the manager waited our table and he was so friendly and super accommodating. Would definitely come back, highly recommend!!
I was here last weekend with friends and family and we all enjoyed the food and the service. Food was delicious and the staff very friendly and professional at the same time. If you’re wondering to have some quality time with your loved ones, this is the place to go! 👌🏻
