    What a hidden gem...at least it was for us. We reserved the day before for prime time (7:30) and had no difficulty. We had a party of four and shared a number of small plates and a couple of entrees, which was plenty for us. The Dolmas were terrific, a great choice for a well known Med dish. But be sure to try some unusual ones...Borek, Artichoke Beignets, Roasted Prawns, and Roasted Cauliflower. The Whole Branzino was amazing! Lightly tart, buttery texture, crispy skin. Two bottles of wine, so we were feeling pretty good! Their staff was a delight...interested and engaged. All of Mediterranean origin, so we drew them into a game of "Where are you from." Our server was a young Kurdish woman, and our wine person was from Turkey. We really enjoyed them. All in all, a terrific experience. We'll go back. See you there!
