"this place is a wonderful new addition to the neighboring, and heads and shoulders over any other option at this end of the 5th avenue. the Mediterranean menu is freshly prepared from excellent ingredients, with sufficient complexity to keep the dinge interesting without being in the least fussiness. presentations are good, but the focus is on eating, not only on visual aesthetics. I liked everything I tried. at this opportunity my friends and I have added the muddles – tasty in themselves, with only the right amount of gigante beans, feta and touches of sausage. the Fattoush salad was another winner. (I hope they bring the salat back with “Park Slope” in his humorous names. the ceviche, boquerones and, of course, the oysters got daumen from everyone. in other places I had the oktopus, the breanzino and the merluza – all excellent. service is very good, and the mood ranges from friendly to . . very friendly. good wine list too. if I worked here, I would also welcome everyone with the confidence that comes from the front of a large kitchen."
