Went for brunch. Generous portion’s. The Greek Apps not on the brunch menu were delicious. The brunch mains weren’t as good. The service is really good. I want to come back for dinner. I’m thinking the a la carte food is much better than the brunch menu…..

We had a fabulous time. The waiter was friendly and helpful. The maitre d checked in on us twice, which made us feel very taken care of. The appetizers were out of this world delicious. Extra extra delicious. The cocktails were superb. The only criticism I would give is that the steak we requested to be medium, was served as medium well, and we would have appreciated replenishment on the bread and water. And the baklava for the price we paid was a bit too small and not too tasty. Overall, we really enjoyed the ambience, which was extremely romantic and mostly all the food was very delicious.
