    An upscale Mediterranean restaurant that takes you on an unforgettable culinary journey through the Mediterranean with its use of unique and exquisite spices.The menu is a delightful exploration of Mediterranean flavors. We loved everything we had; babaganoush, chicken shawarma, tabouli, lamb kebabs. The main dishes are decent portions so we were full and unfortunately didn’t have room for dessert. Next time! What truly sets Ezov apart is their meticulous attention to the spices that define Mediterranean cuisine. Will be back to try other items on the menu and dessert.

    Really lovely restaurant and the food is delicious. The noise level is so loud that my party of 6 could barely hear each other unless we yelled. That’s the only bummer about Yamas.

    We celebrated my wife’s birthday here last night and from the get go felt like we were taken care of. The hosts seemed sincere and cheerful wishing her a happy birthday, and that set the tone for the night feeling special. I’ve worked in service, and I know it’s not always easy to be festive on someone else’s behalf when tons of birthdays are celebrated every day, and the kindness of the staff stood out. Sandra took wonderful care of us, comped a dessert for the birthday and made sure we had everything we needed while giving us our time and space to enjoy the meal. We will be back!
