    We went all in for the chef's tasting menu with wine pairing. It was excellent. Our waiter was charming and available. It is a loud, vibrant space. I wish it was a little less loud and a little more intimate but that is of course prefernce. The support staff is everywhere, dropping off and picking up plates, filling water, replenishing bread. Only once did they mistime pick-up to remove a plate before we were done. Particular favourites included the cretan dakos salad, hommus, garides saganaki, saffron pilaf, steak mishwi, and lemony potatoes. Tapas can be tough if you're not sure what to get. The tasting menu was great. After a full day of being very thoughtful and on our feet at a couple museums, we only had to be mindful when enjoying each plate, not choosing it.

    Beautiful restaurant with impeccable service. We had a fantastic dinner. The salmon dip with thin cracker absolutely delicious. The spinach salad with a whipped mozzarella and warm beacon vinaigrette melts will have your kids eating their veggies. The main course we decided on was the rock fish in a light brown sauce with mussels and tortellini stuffed with crab and lobster. The ambience was great with a view of the Pike and Rose area. Beautiful night view. There is an entire area that’s shaped like a boat that’s used in warmer weather. We will visit for that experience.our new favorite restaurant. SEE YOU SOON! Oh I forgot to mention our server was extremely pleasant and gave great advice on what to order, ( WIN, WIN, WIN)! Unfortunately I forgot his name but if it helps we spoke about him learning Korean 😂. Sunday March 3rd 2025. He was the only server that we saw.
