    Everything exceeded our expectations! Very lively, convivial vibe! Reminiscent of a taverna in Santorini. Very attentive, friendly staff from the moment we walked in and were greeted by the host. Server was excellent and knowledgeable and both the manager and the owner introduced themselves and checked on our service and food. We will definitely add this to our regular rotation.

    We love this restaurant that looks to be a hole-in-the-wall, but is actually one of the most elegant and high end restaurants in Fort Lauderdale. The atmosphere is sophisticated with Italian charm, the staff is classy and so knowledgeable, and the food always exceeds expectations. The clientele is posh as well and there is a wine list suited for everyone. One of my favorite things about this restaurant is the daily specials that somehow always hit the mark. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely.
