    Nice place. Helpful wait staff. Disappointed that for Valentine’s day there was a fixed price/menu presented to us. But others near us appeared to have ordered items on the regular menu. We were simply left the fixed menu on our table with no explanation. Wish we were informed of the options and given a choice. Otherwise, nice meal. Nice place.

    We always enjoy Das! The wait staff are attentive and your water glass is always full. We got the cheese appetizer, beef awaze fit fit, fish asa, and vegetarian sampler. Everything was excellent. The staff checked on us multiple times. Our daughter got a takeout of the soaked injara and left it on the table. The restaurant called me twice and left a voicemail saying they had it for her but I got the message too late. They are one of the best restaurants I’ve ever eaten in. Will always go back
