    Our company hosted its Christmas party at Quality Foods Market and Chef Chris and his staff did not miss a beat. A special four course meal was created just for our group and everything was above and beyond anything any of us were expecting. Our entire group was blown away by the experience. Chef Chris explained each course, and the wine he paired it with, answering every question that came his way. Everyone said it was the best Christmas party the company ever had and we've already secured a date for next year.

    We had dinner at 4:15 on a Sunday,before the TVs were turned on loud for the football game already in play. The place is cavernous and probably a big draw for FSU students. The prices were reasonable . There is something for everyone and I would be interest in trying other starters. The lobster bisque fries, the pretel and the deviled eggs were all served with some interesting twists. I am sure the place gets filled up as it was starting to when we left and it will no longer be quiet. We will be back.

    We had an amazing experience here on Friday Sept 13. We arrived a little later than our reservation but they accommodated us with no problem. Our server was extremely friendly and helpful. We ordered to gyro platters and it came with salad that was so big I almost got full just off of that. Our food also came with yummy Greek fries. I had so much food left over I was able to take it to work the next day. I use to come here all the time when I was younger so I’m glad our experience was just as good as it use to be. We will be back!
