Absolutely a family favorite. Never a bad meal, experience, or service here. Deserves more than 5 stars. The Mediterranean pasta is perfection. The upstairs is perfect for large groups and gatherings, we were celebrating my nephew passing his bar exam, and there were quite a few of us. The staff was wonderful and attentive to all our tables. The food was fresh and generous portions. Can't wait to go back again.

Every aspect of our experience was stellar!!! My family needed the elevator and staff were delightfully accommodating!! Food was truly delectable and expertly presented, and service was 💯% like family with a beautiful ambiance!! It was perfect for a birthday dinner!! I regret not photographing the falafel app because it and the accompanying tahini were the best I've had ANYWHERE!!! 🤤

Dawn S.

Excellent food, relaxed yet classy setting, wonderful staff. We're treated extremely well here, every time. Great drinks as well. Nothing but glowing things to say, and can't recommend enough. Kid-friendliness: We have two (well-behaved) young children, but our two year old needs to stretch her legs at times. The staff is SO PATIENT and is good about placing us where our daughter won't disrupt the other patrons.
