    I read good reviews for this place and needed a place for the 6 of us to eat before the hockey game. We got a reservation literally the day before and probably didn’t need one. The food was amazing for sure! So different and so good.! Our waiter suggested 4-5 items for our group to share and swore it would be more than enough. We ended up ordering more and quit at 7 . We left kind of hungry still. The portions for each $18+ dish ordered only came with enough for 3 people to try, so we were cutting deviled eggs and gyros in half so all could try for instance. We loved the food but were disappointed in the servings. Fun idea though for sure.

    There is no need for a reservation here. You walk right up and order at the counter and they bring your food to you at your table. The owner was amazing. He came out and spoke with us about each dish. When my husband asked for one of the recipes he gave it to him. He was very polite and very kind. The food was delicious. The Huckleberry sauce is to die for and while most people would think the huckleberry pie was the star we for sure enjoyed the bread pudding more. We will definitely be back. This was an amazing place with an amazing atmosphere and amazing food.
