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!

Food was excellent but the dining experience wasn’t. This place has gorgeous high ceilings which deliver terrible acoustics for the amount of people they have seated to eat. Our table of 7 was yelling to hear each other the whole evening. We arrived on time and were told to wait at the bar because our table wasn’t ready. But the bar does not have standing room space and everyone there is uncomfortably crammed in and trying to let people pass to the bathroom. 20 minutes to wait for our reservation. Tables are cramped and there’s no room to navigate the dining room and guests and servers kept bumping into us at our seats. I don’t know if we’ll come back but if we do it will be a quieter day of the week as Friday night was not fun for us.

What's with the bread???it shoukd come with the shakshuka and for the dips when you get all the dips - only one bread???lastly we ordered cucumbers for the dip and it came out with the entrees. It's just insane that cheapness is alive and well at this restaurant as is disorganization. You should be better !!!

The food was great! The server/hostess seemed like she was having a bad day. My friend was seating in the aisle and his chair was bumped three times by servers, no apology was given. Otherwise great food, and the restaurant is very clean and bright.
