Couldn’t have been happier with the food and service. The crab cakes were…crabby..with a light crispy outside. The French onion soup was classic, and the steaks were seasoned and cooked to perfection. The chocolate chip cookies, like the steak, were cooked medium but with a chewy crust. It was money well spent.

Food was incredible, service was excellent! The saganaki, tzatziki and cornmeal pie were amazing! Only minor criticism is that the tables are a bit close together. The food is so great though, highly recommended.

The staff was so welcoming and accommodating while we waited for our full party. The food was delicious including the Brussels sprouts, fried chicken, pancakes, tower sando, and bacon. The atmosphere was cozy and cool but not overly hip. Highly recommended.

My husband and son each like their steak cooked differently. Well they received exactly what they ordered and expectations were exceeded. Our food was outstanding. I had nicoise salad which I know is a reliable filling meal. We started with the beautiful charcuterie board. A surprise of mac and cheese was a delicious addition to our meal. And the ES famous bread pudding brought a new twist with butterscotch (a flavor I do not normally favor) but just enough to give the dessert a delicious taste, and not too much to drown it with too much sweetness. I know I'll be back. I keep coming back. Oh and Pablo, our server - he's fab.

We had the four wines offered in the wine symposium and really learned a lot. We drank northern and southern Greek wines with dolmas and mushrooms and a lovely pita stuffed with feta and a lamb shank. Every fish was delicious and beautifully presented. It’s fun to sit at the bar and watch the chefs. Highly recommend! And Wednesdays are super busy so get there early! Lotsa fun!
