Nothing but amazing things to say about this place from the second i walked into the door. My girlfriend and i had reservations for 730 we showed up 30 mins early and got sat right away. Our server irene was extremely pleasant and welcoming. We told her it was our 1st time and she shared some history of the place with us. Lauren the owner and every other staff member checked on us nonstop to make sure we had everything we needed. We were in and out in an hour but somehow didn't feel rushed at all. I dont think i have one single complaint about this place. Food was AMAZING. We will be back for the igloos snd the carolers

Our experience was amazing, a small but cozy place with a great variety of Mediterranean cuisine starting with Greek spreads with their warm bread, grilled octopus, their special fried burrata was excellent, then one of the most popular dishes was grilled branzino , shrimp Santorini and lamb chops, I highly recommended this restaurant , services are on point.
