The drinks are watered down. The food came out cold. The service is terrible. They dont check back on you. The place was freezing cold because security or valet or whoever would keep the front door open. If you aren’t a known or well established person, it’s basically they don’t care.

Biggest issue is the fact that there are doors at either end of the restaurant and at least in the back, the "wall" is a glass garage door. And despite curtains, and that "wall" - it is freezing if you are seated at either end of the restaurant.

She took our orders and returned to let us know 2 items we ordered were sold out and we ordered substitutes. Then proceeded to give us the items that were sold out & our substitutes. We refused the substitutes and they put them on the bill still. When this bill came it had 6 mistakes. The ambiance is okay - however the dj is not great. Everyone is just standing mingling. The speaker system doesn’t sound powerful enough for the space. I recommend going to Almyra instead.

We only ordered the platter with 4 dips. But the dips were lackluster and the pita was cold. The drinks were extremely watered down. I got two rounds of the same drinks and they tasted like two completely different drinks. My friend ordered an espresso martini and it tasted like refrigerated black coffee with no alcohol. Our waitress seemed like she was either drunk or on something. And I know this is a big accusation to make but it was very obvious. And we heard the table next to us say the same thing. We’d order our drinks, visibly see her not put the order in, remind her, and she’d apologize saying the bar did something wrong. Then forget again. The whole experience was extremely odd. She could barely keep her eyes open. I gave her my card to pay the bill and she charged my card to someone else’s table, their bill was $400. Our bill was $100. Unfortunately I will not be coming back here
