Good variety of food choices, reasonable prices, but a little loud for a business meeting. I would recommend it if you don't mind the background noise.

Everything we ordered was delicious. We even topped it off with a burnt orange cheesecake. Our experience was great, need to give credit to our amazing server, Maia. Best Greek ribs I have ever had. If you like seafood order the Paella. You can’t go wrong
