Great food and very good service. It was a bit loud but not to the point were we couldn't hear each other. The music was very nice and not too loud. The drinks were very good as well. Octopus, calamaries and ceviche appetizers were great. Will definitely come back for another dinner.

We had a fabulous time. The waiter was friendly and helpful. The maitre d checked in on us twice, which made us feel very taken care of. The appetizers were out of this world delicious. Extra extra delicious. The cocktails were superb. The only criticism I would give is that the steak we requested to be medium, was served as medium well, and we would have appreciated replenishment on the bread and water. And the baklava for the price we paid was a bit too small and not too tasty. Overall, we really enjoyed the ambience, which was extremely romantic and mostly all the food was very delicious.
