"We had an excellent meal here! The service was not the best nor what I would have expected for this type of restaurant but in the end everything worked out. We ordered the fish soup, Greek salad, tuna steak and Chilean sea bass, and a bottle of wine. Everything had quintessential flavors that were unique and unlike other restaurants. The bread was outstanding! Crispy crust but light airy on the inside. The olives were amazing and the hummus was light and delicious. Excellent flavor in the tomatoes and feta. My challenge came with George our server. I wanted the sea bass without the sauce and it came with the sauce on everything. I requested that it not have sauce and he brought the same dish back deconstructed. He just took the former food and put it in a separate plate but it still had the sauce on it. He had an awful attitude and was not very friendly. He made us feel like we were a total annoyance. I asked for it to be cooked without sauce and I saw him in the kitchen waving his armed and not happy explaining what I wanted. In the end what was delivered was awesome and so delicious they should really add it to the menu! Grilled Chilean sea bass with lemon and olive oil. Excellent !!"

Great fresh seafood. Had the whole branzino, and it read great! Recommended by the waiter. I'm not normally a branzino fan but this was so good. Baklava? The best I've ever had. Service was good too. World come back again!

My coworkers and I came here after our conference. The food was delicious. Our team recommends the Lamb chops, Chilean sea bass, yuviete. The waiters wore masks and provided excellent customer service. The music is good as well.

So glad the other two restaurants were over booked so ended up here by default. Best dinner ever! The whole fish was amazing, the hummus was the best I’ve had and the bread, perfectly crispy outside and um so good. Fantastic experience. Waitress was genuine and kind despite our late start we were never rushed. Felt like we owned the restaurant as we dined outside and no one else there. Highly recommend. View menu

One of the lead servers (maybe manager) saved me money which was great right off the bat. I ordered some things that he mentioned would be cheaper and for a better deal if I got the three course meal rather than ordering them individually. The artic char tasted great, soft and juicy not dry at all. The truffle fries were good. Loved the bread and the sides that came with it. The music and the aesthetic were confusing but not in a bad way, maybe in a quirky way. I would come back! Pricey but worth it overall imo.

I went on a Sunday night they were very busy; they don't seem to need good reviews to gain customers, and I could see why: great ambience and food! In spite of their busy night, they still managed to offer me a choice between two tables in two different locations of the restaurant. As soon as I was seated, bread and accompaniments were offered. From the appetizers, I ordered fish soup and grilled oyster mushrooms. I highly recommend the mushrooms so delicious with a taste of fresh herbal dressing. The fish soup not so much. It was okay but a bit too fishy for my taste. My order of French Fries arrived without the ketchup. I had to ask for it. I loved the taste plump and dusted with oregano,...
