    We ordered only vegetarian/pescatarian dishes from the small plates and sides. All were very good, although the tzatziki was curiously lacking in garlic and the muhammara might have had a bit more heat. Our server, Jorge, was outstandingly attentive. The wine list could do with a few more moderately priced selections, especially in the reds. Given the overall noise level, eliminating music would be a mercy. But we recognize that a youthful crowd loves noise. Overall I would give a 4.7.
