I was a single diner at dinner as my friend had to cancel. I was only able to try a few things. I had the Heirloom Tomato Salad, Pork Kebabs and the Whole Aegean Bronzini which were all delicious. They have an interesting cocktail menu with unusual twists. The service was good and the ambience is light and airy. I would like to return and try other items on the menu.

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.

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.
