    Ordered the Aegean Sunset (non-alcoholic) and the chef's tasting menu. Incredible value for the amount and quality of food presented. Favorites were the hummus with harissa, shrimp saganak, lamb, and Greek yogurt with apricots.

    This restaurant was absolutely incredible. The ambience was lively and energetic and the food was DELICIOUS. We shared a bunch of dishes as a table and our favorites were the hummus, Brussels sprouts, chicken skewer mezze, and cheese platter. The cocktails were also very tasty. Highly recommend this place and will DEFINITELY be back again in the future!!
