    The food was great. We did a set price menu. I don’t know if they have it all the time but we had 4 courses for 49$ and they were terrific. Our waiter was great attentive and had good suggestions. Can’t wait to go back.

    Our table enjoyed happy hour drinks and apps. We also ordered the scampi and shrimp pasta as well as their signature shrimp pasta dish. We were impressed by it all. The portions are generous for the price. Highly recommend the baklava! Only thing to note is more of a mobility/family point of interest. The bathrooms are located upstairs and it was lacking a baby changing area. My only critique would be to add something in the bathroom to accommodate families. Otherwise a great night and everyone spoke about how delicious the food was and how we would definitely make a point to come again soon! It brought us right back to Europe.
