   One of my must go places when I visit NYC. Service was great!! Honored time of reservation. Food was spectacular. We had Branzino which I highly reccomend. Mushroom flatbread was so… good and we finished with the chocolate cake desert. Highly reccomend!!!!

   Amazing night. Bartender Rodka (spelling) was one of the best I've ever experienced. I'm a former bartener as FYI.

   The duck portion was a bit small but very delicious. The staff was very attentive, but not annoyingly so. The atmosphere is loud on a Thursday night at 6:45 PM however, a table for two is small enough that you can hear surprisingly quite well. The dessert was unlike annything I’ve ever tasted: The Silas was almost like a slight Nutella taste, but with an airy, cotton-candy-like mouthfeel. The Lebanese Osmalieh was also interesting but less tasty. Eggplant appetizer was so good, just needed 2x more bread, which was also great. I’d go back.

   Overall the restaurant is great. The food is very good and has a very lively experience. Couple things keep it from Five Stars. First off dumb things - the platter they bring for the Mezze plate is too big to fit on the two tops and we had to slide our plates into the corners drinks into another corner. It was like playing Tetris with our table settings all night. The music is just a touch too loud making impossible to talk without yelling. Tables are on top of each other. Feel like you are in your neighbors lap. The positives the mezze was fantastic. The brazino was excellent and so was the Hamachi. Octopus was a little dry.

    My second visit to this restaurant, very nice looking dining room, bar it has a nice charm to it. Decide to have some of the Mediterranean dips, delicious, delicious, delicious, freshly made. Had the Lamb Kofta that came in casserole fluffed up that had to be cut around it, delicious, delicious. My friend had Chicken in a pita she said it was very good, her cocktail was a mezcal mix citrusy drink, very nice suggestion from server. Bytheway service was very good, the room was pretty full for lunch time. We will definitely come back & friend some friends along. Great job chef!
