    We went for jazz brunch before the theater and it was lively and festive. We all ended up getting the Eggs Benedict and a variety of coffee. The waitress was great and accommodated any manner of hot/iced, regular/decaf, with different creamers. She was wonderful. The food came out quick and hot and they also accommodated our desire to get next door to the theater efficiently. The bartenders, too, were lovely while we waited for our table. All in all a quick but fulfilling experience.

    The staff were so friendly! We were able to be seated 30 minutes before our reservation which got us out of the rain. They went above and beyond to include a birthday surprise for my spouse at the end of our meal. Oh, and the food was delicious! The grilled chicken fell right off the bone and the meat samboosa and hummus were great, too. Overall, great care was taken of us.

    Everything was excellent and our waitress was very attentive. It was a special night as celebrating an anniversary. I chose this restaurant as my 91 yr old mum had never been here. She loved it as much as much as me and my husband! Lamb shank, moussaka and stuffed cabbage all delicious!
