“We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! I made reservations for my bachelorette party a few weeks in advance. The ambiance is beautiful, from the inside to the outside covered veranda. The staff was very welcoming and pleasant. We ordered multiple dishes and each one was delicious! Our favorite is the short rib and the sweet potato hummus. Everything was favorful! The cocktails were also delicious. It was quite nice at the end to pay with the barcode on the table. We were able to split the bill as needed, which was super convenient. Our waitress was also a gem! We can't wait to return!!!”
“We sat at the bar for an early dinner. No wait for a bar seat. The brtenders were very attentive, helpful and friendly. The drinks were fabulous. The food was amazing. Super fresh and flavorful. The pork belly was cooked perfectly. Seasoning on everything was perfect. The restaurant itself is gorgeous. Would recommend.”
“What a fantastic vibe, food and service!! Sarah P was great in helping suggest the right dishes and amounts. My wife loved the ambiance and thought it was one of the coolest places. We went there for here birthday and had a primo seat with a view of the whole restaurant. The drinks were great. The whipped feta was super tasty. The shrimp, short ribs and kebabs were all winners!!! The frozen yogurt to finish it off was perfect. What a great experience and culinary treat!!!”
“Wow!!! This was such a beautiful place! We started with the garlic hummus. It’s by far the best hummus we’ve ever had! Next we went for the chicken skewer. It was very juicy and tender. My husband had the braised lamb wrapped in eggplant and I had the crabcakes. Both were out of this world! The banana pudding cake was extremely interesting. It looks like a banana! It has a hard outer shell with a creamy banana center. It was absolutely delicious! What a treat to find this place! We will definitely be back and definitely recommend friends and family.”
“Update- responded to the email per message below on 7/8/26 & no response. We visited on June 30, 2026, at 7:00 PM and found the restaurant to be gorgeous, although we had some challenges with parking, as valet service is $12. Despite having reservations, we were seated fairly quickly, and our server was wonderful, providing excellent service throughout our meal. The manager on duty was also very helpful, assisting with drink delivery, which was appreciated. The food was delicious and earned a solid 4 out of 5 from us. However, I did find it strange that there was only one restroom stall for both males and females, leading to a line. The opaque door made it a bit awkward, as you could see shadows inside; I would recommend reconsidering that design for privacy. Once I finally got into the restroom, I noticed that while it was beautifully decorated, it needed some attention. The trash was overflowing, there was a wine glass left on the sink, and unfortunately, there was no toilet paper available. It was surprising to see such a lovely restroom in this condition. Additionally, while I was seated in an aisle, a server accidentally bumped into me without saying "excuse me." I assumed she was a trainee, as she was following another server. I found this a bit disappointing, as it felt like a lapse in etiquette. I would suggest additional training in this area to ensure all staff members maintain the high standards expected at such a highly regarded restaurant. Overall, our experience was great, thanks to our amazing server and the excellent food. While I would consider returning in a group, I might hesitate to bring others given the restroom situation and the service incident. ”
