    The restaurant is exquisite and the service was fabulous. I highly recommend the breads & spreads, jibineh cheese, mushrooms, beets and eggplant to start. The octopus & steak skewers, the shish barak, the chicken and spaghetti. We had the cheesecake, baklava, and tiramisu. All ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Excellent experience. Delicious Neapolitan pizza. Amazing dough/crust. The SWEETEST server - kind, welcoming, and attentive. So glad we ignored previous accounts of experiences. Whatever was going on there in the past is not happening now. Just delicious pizza and great service. Highly recommend.

    Basically just came here for drinks after work. My wife and I seemed to be the first to arrive, sat outside and got great attention. The cocktails we had were on point. We also shared the watermelon salad which was very tasty and refreshing on a muggy summer’s day. I’d come back here for drinks and possibly for dinner.
