The food was superb and the efforts by staff to guide us as to the right combinations of dishes to share was really great and helpful. Stand outs were the flathead dish , the scallops, the lamb and galactabourika. Great wines too!

The waitress who served us absolutely made our experience. I’m not sure if her name but I think she was French. She was kind, friendly and very welcoming. The food was delicious and it was great value to get in with the happy hour cocktails! Opting for the courtyard out front isn’t something I usually do but considering it had been a 30 degree day, it was a balmy night so it was lovely. Overall, great experience!

Lovely wine and service. Would have loved to go back, but with lack of vegetarian food to accompany, that may be difficult.
