Honestly super disappointed. We were a party of four and I wasn’t even sure who my waiter was. I didn’t even know who was taking care of us. The food came pretty fast, and everything was terrible. They didn’t even give us plates and utensils to serve ourselves. We asked the first time waited literally 15 minutes for the plates. The food was decent and we enjoyed the food, but we asked for a grilled octopus and that came 30 minutes after we finished eating thinking that they had forgotten about us. For a restaurant at Ball Harbor, where everything is quite expensive, I was really disappointed.

Came for a very early dinner. Service was excellent, though not a true litmus test. All staff was very friendly. Ahi Tuna was different and very good. Outdoor seating lovely at a quiet time.

The food was fantastic! Whipped feta, roasted cauliflower and grilled chicken kebab were all excellent. All ingredients were fresh and the dishes very tasty. Nice wine and cocktail options. Our server was great, he was knowledgeable about the menu and very nice. The restaurant is nice and the vibe was great. Definitely added to my list of new favorites.
