    Appetizers were good (halloumi, hummus dips, octopus, and shrimp). Lamb chops were average for the price. Shrimp Orzo was delicious. Our sides that we ordered never showed up. Drinks were great and ambiance was fantastic. The service was disorganized. We were told at arrival that we had 10 mins to order (830pm reservation) although there were at least 50 other people seated and 9pm reservation slots arriving, drinks took 20-30 mins to arrive after orders placed because only one bartender for the entire floor. 3-4 servers came to our table but orders we placed with them did not get fulfilled. As mentioned, our sides were not brought to us. They ran out of lobster and a few other menu options. Overall ok experience, but had potential to be much better.
