    Loved the look vibe and excellent food. Finally a new happening place in San Carlos with a great bar scene that isn’t too loud but has great music.

    The food and service are always great. On Friday and Saturday evenings they have DJ. If you do not like loud music avoid Fridays and Saturday dinner.

    We both ordered the filet mignon souvlaki and it was delicious. So were the sides and the spanakopita that we had ordered as a starter. Service was excellent. Will be back.
