"Had a low key birthday dinner here and really enjoyed it! The restaurant is in a nondescript venue and you'd walk right past it easily without knowing that you're missing out on all the gluten free glory. We started with the goat cheese spread which is a must! It's very well done and sprinkled with black Hawaiian sea salt which I recently had during a Michelin seven course meal In Budapest. I have not only a gluten but also a bovine dairy allergy and I believe the baguette is buttered so beware. I made the mistake of not asking first (although we did mention the allergy) and after I took a bite I realized it was too delicious to not be butter so I had it without the baguette thereafter. The shaved fennel salad was nice, slightly overdressed for my liking, but a crisp and mild pickled summer salad. The sliders were so good that we ordered a second (then had to take them home because we were stuffed). We ordered fish and chips these were perfectly crispy and tender where it needed to be. The scallops were nice but were probably my least favorite. The presentation was exquisite but you can hardly taste the scallops because the other flavors are overpowering. The best thing is that they brought us a gluten and dairy free chocolate cupcake for dessert. We had dessert plans afterwards with friends but once I took a bite, I was in heaven. I've never had a cupcake so soft and fluffy, decadent without being too sweet. It's a miracle how they achieved that a luxurious chocolate delight. I'd definitely recommend the food! The only head scratcher from this experience was regarding the il vino. I ordered a tasting trio and was given a single glass. The second wine was poured into the same glass. They were both white but we thought it was weird. Never in a flight or a tasting have I experienced this. Then when the third (a red) was also poured into the same glass, I asked about it. The server just said that's how they always do it. They seem to promote their wines quite a bit (with a beautiful list and you an option to purchase bottles) I would think they would explain their rationale or ask a paying customer if they want a glass change given that anyone who drinks wine knows that the mixing of flavors taints it. Defeats the purpose of the flight tasting. Outside of that bump, we had an enjoyable experience and would return and also recommend this place to others. The outdoor seating is cozy and relaxing on a nice evening. Definitely worth a try!"

"Absolutely fantastic food! The portions are not only generous but also incredibly fresh. It’s great for takeout or delivery, but dining in really enhances the experience. The staff here are wonderful and friendly. While the restaurant is located in a simple shopping center with limited parking, the interior is lovely and tranquil, featuring beautiful booths and charming decor. I highly recommend the spicy creamy chicken, salmon combo, chipotle hummus, falafel, veggie stuffed grape leaves, avocado hummus, baklava, green tea, and Turkish coffee. Everything is so delicious!"

"A real gem in the neighborhood I wouldn't expect to find a decent sushi place. But, sushi here us amazing!!! The fish is very fresh and everything I've had here was absolutelly amazing. My favorite lunch place, gets crowded at night as locals know about it. Nit a fancy place and prices are in the mid-range, lunch runs at about $25-30 if you order sushi rolls. But they also have lunch combos for less. Give this place a try!!"

"My wife and I were here a few months ago and decided to return. This was our second visit since a flood devastated the building. We began with a pitcher of Sangria and ordered Chicken with mushrooms and Shrimp stuffed with crab meat. Both entrees were delicious. A salad was served with the meal. The dining room gets quite noisy, but it's worth the noise to enjoy truly outstanding food."

"The service and ambience here were excellent. The menu was very well rounded. We got filet mignon and royal red shrimp to share with salads, sautéed garlic mushrooms and baked potatoes. There were baskets of different types of bread and two types of butter. Truffles were provided at the end of the meal. It was a wonderful dining experience!"
