    We were offered a table by the window. When I told the restaurant that we were celebrating a birthday, they surprised us at the end by bringing out our dessert with a lighted candle and the staff sang Happy Birthday. Did I mention that the food was outstanding - the zucchini salad and the mushroom entree were excellent; complex flavors, not too salty. The lamb shank was okay. We went on a Saturday so unfortunately there was no lunch menu. And this place is expensive. I would go again but only for special occasions.

    This was our first time dining at this restaurant. Murat, pardon the spelling, was very attentive, kind, and delightful. There was very nice background music of cover songs, and the place was clean and well decorated in the Mediterranean theme. The food was incredibly fresh, and the presentation was visually appealing. The menu was very unique and had a lot of options. The only downside was that the portions of protein were not very substantial. Other than that, this place was fantastic and we are looking forward to returning and would recommend everyone give it a try!

    Food was fresh, perfectly cooked. Portions were just right. Was not typical Greek food- upscale, world twist, but the flavors of Greece. Octopus was tender and seasoned well. Chicken was not greasy. The tempura mint was unexpectedly tasty, not overwhelmingly minty. Starter bread with dips could have been the meal. Wonderful staff. Amazing diner - can’t wait to go back.
