    Great experience from check in to finish. One of the managers, Stephanie, came by our table at the beginning and was very kind and welcoming! All the servers and bussers had great energy, were knowledgeable, and contributed to a wonderful night out! Emily was a pro and so kind. Highly recommend the Lamb Hummus for a starter, if you eat meat! The Sea Bass is prepared a little differently from other restaurants. It was perfectly cooked, had some crisp and delicious flavor. Brussels Sprouts definitely deserve their moment. We do t often order dessert, but were curious about the special Hillel’s Donuts. You can taste the Prosecco in the chocolate sauce, and strawberry sauce was fresh! We will be back to this location soon!
