    Nice and small place, low profile. Food was ok taste wise, however it was cold when served. We ordered garlic fries too which were cold as well. They are very short on staff, there was only one person responsible for seating, taking orders, bringing food and cleaning up after. Assuming that was the cause of cold food. So rating average at this time.

    Amazing food and service. A little cold when the door opens all the time, but overall a wonderful experience and we're definitely coming back!

    Great food and service. Everything (ceviche, mocktails, feta pasta, taziki, hummus, soup) we ordered was great except for spanikopita which was only so-so.

    Service is great, but the food is poor quality for the price. Tastes like dinner frozen food.

    Service was welcoming, staff was friendly. The food was fine, not great, and portions were small for the price of each entree. Not sure if I’d go back again.

    Can’t comment on the food and value. We made a reservation about two weeks ago. Given a table at the entry point and it was cold there, the door opening all the time. Too cold for us to enjoy dinner so we left.

    We made a reservation way in advance and still had to sit at the bar because they overbooked and didn’t have a table for us even though a table for four sat empty the whole time we were there. The bar staff was great and we had a good time, but it was frustrating after confirming our reservation by text and email to get seated at the crowded bar. Food was good.

    The restaurant has a pleasant clean modern vibe to it. We were there on a very busy evening and I think on a normal evening it might be a bit more calm. The staff is awesome, very attentive and apologetic for not seating us at our exact reservation time. They were accommodating folks so tables had to be shifted a bit. They compensated us with a drink on the house, which was nice, but not necessary. Our food was prepared as ordered and was delicious. We would definitely return!
