Great place for a romantic dinner. All the staff were friendly and the food was very tasteful reminding us of Spain. The price was average and would return in the future.

Perfect as always. Shout out to Caesar who is attentive, friendly and a class act guy. The food was stupendous. The meat platter for 4 was delectable. And all the starters are great. We love the shepherds salad with feta, the hummus and the babaganoush. The falafel too! Thank you for all the hard work.

Delicious kosher Mediterranean and a wonderful location. BYOB (kosher) is allowed. Some seasonal changes. The Siniya hummus bowl is out of this world.
