Fantastic meal and pitch-perfect service. Low light and neutral tones of dining room plus noise were nothing special but everything about the food was. Will return for a special occasion.

I was there on Christmas Day evening. It was very busy and both the Kitchen and the front of the house did a really good job. My server was prompt and very attentive and my food arrived quickly and was hot and of good flavor yet I did not feel rushed. I live in the neighborhood and will definitely return.

So good ! From start to finish - excellent. Understated and underrated. Service ambiance and good quality all 5 stars. We order one main dish each and a handful of mezze items and sides like beets and basmati rice and fries. The fries were good but not great and out of everything we ordered, happened to be my least favorite. King salmon was my main course and was so delicious and flavorful - there was no stopping me from finishing it. I only recently came here for happy hour and once many years ago for dinner and I have to say, it was great to be back and I can’t wait to return. Highly recommend.

The restaurant is nice - although we were seated right by the front door on a very cold night, so it was pretty uncomfortable. The food was all terrific - except for the octopus, which was very tough. I would definitely order take out next time.
