Food was excellent and service was perfect. Helpful server when we asked about unfamiliar foods. Baked cheese appetizer was scrumptious, roasted pepper dip with their delicious freshly baked bread. Would definitely go back here!

The staff and ambiance of the place were the real sellers of the whole experience. The menu is pretty limited for vegetarians and the few options that are available are primarily composed of bread and cheese. So the food wasn’t really the star or a highlight but the overall experience was nice.

It was tasty but a tad too salty. We had the cabbage rolls, veal dumplings , fresh bread and cabbage slaw. Ambience is great, went for weekday lunch and service was excellent.

Food was outstanding! Such a warm and cozy atmosphere. Service was so kind and professional. Even my kids loved the food- my 11 year old ordered an extra salad to go!!! When does that happen?! We are telling everyone we know about this cozy hidden gem.

Charming interior, pleasant staff, appetizers of ajvar & tarator & bread were delicious. The mixed grill was disappointing…one note & overcooked for our taste.
