    Overall setting is, relaxing, soulful, delightful, and tranquil. Food is delicious and hard to compare or find on the Northshore. The wait staff can be a bit eager, at one moment, they cleared the table so well that all my silverware was gone but my meal was not finished. As a former waitress it made me wonder if they need to recycle the dishes to turn a table? Just an observation, although I would dine there again and again for the food is amazing.

    Delicious flavors. The hot honey halloumi was new to me and a great combination. The dressing on the Brussels sprouts salad is amazing and goes well with the tart pomegranate seeds and apple. The chicken kefta is always moist and flavorful and the rice with dill is addicting. So many great flavors. Service was excellent.

    The food was mediocre. The down town restaurant has a lot more true Mediterranean options.
