    Such a great spot! It was cozy and the food was delicious (we only had appetizers). Their customer service was truly one of a kind. I recommend and will be back.

    Great lunch special: delicious spicy sausage lentil soup and a fantastic quinoa chicken salad! Plus a frozen sangria.. A little bit of autumn with tiny bit of summer:-)

    The octopus mezze dish was amazing!!! Happy hour until 7PM with $7 beer and wine and discounted bites like hummus and babaganoush. Great little cozy place that’s great for catching up with a friend

    New kid on the block! The ratatouille is fresh. The lamb chops with potato gratin is delicious. Nab the table on the edge of the room and you'll feel like you're sitting outside. Or just sit outside.

    Today’s treat: octopus, feta dip, burger and shepherd salad with tuna. So tasty! The service is excellent too and the place is so cozy.

    Awesome vibes. Great date spot, intimate, or come to chill with wine and food. Large bottle menu, less by the glass. Spicy feta dip was pretty good. Kind service (look for Charlie)

    Consider the octopus appetizer, spicy feta dip and the lamb chops entree. Ambience makes it a perfect place for date night.

    Great for Happy Hour (5-7)! Hummus, Babaghanoush, and Spicy Feta Dip were each only $6. Also, cute and cozy atmosphere and good service.

    Food is good but unbelievably packed. Don’t go if you have claustrophobia. The grilled meat platter is good for 5-6 people. We went for a group dinner with rsvp and they didn’t have table ready

    Sandwiches are a great lunch, and they all come with fries. Get the lunch special so you can try the sausage lentil soup.

    Food was good. Kept bringing out dishes we didn't order, had to remind them of a drink we ordered too. They took the extra plates and drink off the tab which was nice. Maybe I'd go back. Romantic spot

    Tempura crab was perfectly crisp and moist on the inside. It's worth the price.

    This place is a must go to! Get the Brochette Platter. The best chicken and lamb skewers I have ever had. So tender and juicy and full of flavor. Great selection of wines too!
