M Squared Real EstateAugust 19, 2011This place is a party. Tapas style servings are great for groups of 3-4. The food is dynamite, and almost healthy. Every dish here is a gem.
Shrimp with Dill, Escargot, Crab Cakes and Scallops are the best!
megan dunnJune 4, 2013The brunch plates are small, perfect for sharing and if you want a lighter brunch.
Robert ThomasMarch 13, 2015Get a few different items, as the dishes are quite small. The waiters recommend 2-3 for a complete meal.
Lynn MillerJuly 5, 2011If they have the cucumber soup special, try it! Pom Fili drink was great, not too strong, despite the vodka & triple sec.
Aya FSeptember 16, 2012Turkish restaurant week menu was delicious! Worth more than the $18 they charge!
Erin CushingOctober 17, 2012Delicious Mediterranean-inspired small plates. Particularly good seafood-centered dishes!
