    First time here. We both love mediterranean food and it was the first stop for the Jazz Festival Pub Trolley, so we decided to eat here. The service was very slow as there was only 1 server on the floor. Ours was pulled to the bar so there was only one left. He was very nice and apolegetic, but still it took a long time to get our food and it was a bummer since the jazz performers were set up in the lobby and not in the restaurant so we missed it all. The kebabs are small plates. My food was cold but my wife's was OK. I was still hungry but I didn't want to order anything else trying to get out of there to be able to see some jazz somewhere else. Very disappointed by the place. Slow service, small plates and cold food. I feel generous giving 3 stars. Not coming back here.

    The meal was well prepared and tasty. Excellent use of spices. Choice of small portions or larger portions. Better than many hotel restaurants. Dessert was terrific, ice cream with baklava.

    It's an unassuming under-rated place. Food is very good and extremely reasonably priced. Service also friendly and good. The menu is fairly limited but I always find multiple items I am interested in.

    The food was okay. It didn’t taste amazing but it wasn’t particularly bad. A bit expensive for cold, mild tasting food.
