    We dined here this evening as a party of 12 and were extremely disappointed with the service. Litzy was our server, and unfortunately, the experience was far from what we expected. As we sat down, only a few of our water glasses were filled, while others remained empty despite multiple requests. While our cocktails arrived promptly, we had asked to sample two kinds of wine, and shockingly, the tasting glasses never made it to our table for nearly an hour—well after our food had arrived. My husband eventually had to get up and speak to Litzy about it, and rather than offering an apology or showing any concern, she seemed indifferent to the situation. For a large party willing to spend money, this level of service was simply unacceptable. While the food itself was good, the lack of attentiveness and care from the service staff completely soured the experience. We will definitely not be returning.

    Overall experience was good, but wouldn’t ginger again. Food was pretty mediocre, wasn’t too impressed with the various dips. Cauliflower item was pretty good. Service was also good.

    The food was so delicious and the service was attentive but not overly so. It’s such a pretty place too. Great ambiance!

    We sat at the bar. John, who was our main guy was exceptional. He knew the menu, couldn’t be any nicer and he gave great suggestions on both food and drink. I’d come back just for him. Food wise, the shrimp John raved about were excellent, same with the octopus. Salmon was very good. We also had the feta spread and I totally agree with another person’s review, super salty! As was the spread that came with the salmon. To the point of inedible.

    Beautiful restaurant with authentic “Mediterranean” flavors (Greek middle eastern). We were seated for our reservation immediately and server greeted us promptly. Most dishes are served “mezze” style. Our first round came out with amazing fresh bread very promptly. Food was fresh and delicious.

    Unimpressed. We were seated promptly after our arrival, then left to our own resources for 15 minutes. Slow service, with some entertainment (customer passed out at the next table). Slow table service, missed cocktail, but staff were also apologetic and clearly doing their best to offset poor management. Our dinner entrees were overdone for temperature and not memorable. Prices are high and do not align with the experience or buildup.
