                                                      First time there! The service was excellent and the food was perfect! We ordered paella and enjoyed it so much! My only complaint was sitting down close to others I felt like we couldn’t talk. Seating was just too close for me.

                                                      Service was a bit inattentive. Food service could have been better timed; our main course came out while we were eating appetizers. Food was tasty, enjoyed the paella.

                                                      Overall, food was decent, but horrible service. The waiter was unengaged and even kind of rude.

                                                      Wonderful lunch! We sat quickly at a window table with a nice view. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. We started with the burratta and the bread appetizer, which made both easy to share for 2 adults and 1 child. I would recommend having both apps together as the burratta comes with just 1 piece of toast. All of our entrees were tasty and well prepared. We had the Brick Chicken, House made spaghetti, and my daughter had the Med Burger, which she made kid friendly with her requests. Overall, it was a great experience, and we look forward to returning to try other items in a relaxing environment.

Service is excellent & the food is plentiful & delicious. We order hummus plate to share Pita was nice & brought little home. We each ordered a entree. 2 Eggplants & the Pasta. Both were delicious & all of us had leftovers for dinner. Don’t hesitate to go you will not be disappointed!

                                                      Excellent food and service. The server went out of her way to get a vegan offering.
