It is the simple invention of boats and ships that created the bounty of the Mediterranean and it is there we find inspiration in our name, Safina. Safina is Lebanese for “boat.” Beautifully humble in its simplicity, confidently assured in its purpose. This mix of humbleness and confidence is found in our food, service, and experience

    We’ve been to Potente numerous times and the food and ambience are always top notch. This time service was a little slow and chaotic; numerous servers bringing food to the wrong tables not just for us. The initial person who took our drink orders was actually at the wrong table but our waitress for the rest of the evening was excellent. Definitely recommend Potente.

    Okto is a must-visit for food enthusiasts looking for an unforgettable dining experience. From start to finish, every aspect of our meal was exceptional. The drinks struck the perfect balance between tradition and creativity, offering a delightful twist on classic flavors. We started with the Greek salad and octopus appetizer—both fresh and perfectly executed. For our main courses, the filet mignon with foie gras and the tiger shrimp were nothing short of spectacular. Every bite was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. With friends visiting next month, we already have plans to return. Okto has truly earned a spot on our list of favorite restaurants!
