We ordered the panzanella, the gnocchi, the ravioli, the bolognese, the carbonara… all were perfection!! Every bite was incredible. The Malbec and the old fashioned were ideal, the crème brûlée was just what we hoped it would be, and the service was just right every moment of the evening. Can’t wait to come back!

The owner Sean is a wonderful host! Fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable, attentive but unintrusive wait staff. The octopus appetizer was tender and flavorful. The greek and tomato salads were both excellent and would make wonderful meals in themselves. Both the Dover Sole and Dorade fish were perfectly prepared and very enjoyable. Delicious Kataifi dessert. Also excellent wine list and great cocktails.

We made a online reservation. Upon arrival, we were seated immediately although there was people waiting as walk-ins. Our server treated us promptly for our drink orders. He was kind and friendly answering all of our questions regarding the changes on the menu. I normally get the brick chicken, but it wasn’t available anymore so I decided to go with the lamb chops. Food was flavorful and delicious. I don’t recall the server name, but our receipt says Bereket. He deserve 5 stars.
