   Sautéed Prawns were average. Housemade Mezza Platter (hummus, smoked eggplant, ful mudammas) was below average. Medeterranean Branzino was very good. Rice Pilaf was very good. Asparagus was very good.

   Tzatziki was the best I've had anywhere - zesty without too much dill. The beet salad was delicious, with a hefty portion of beets and lovely flavors that melded well. My dining companion thought the chicken kabob was excellent. If you aren't a drinker you have a choice of several fancy mocktails. If you enjoy wine you will find the offerings varied and excellent, with both California and Europe represented. I loved my Rosé from Cotes de Provence.

   Lunch service is extremely understaffed and noticeable reduction in portion size.

   The food was food good and it was worth the value. The only thing that was a disappointment is that the server didn't inform us that getting mineral water was an extra charge. I also didn't like how the server asks for a tip even though the restaurant adds a "Living Wage surcharge" what's the point of a tip of the restaurant is adding in extra charges. I also didn't like how the server was looking at the device while I was giving a tip, a tip should be optional not mandatory.

   Service was good. Not all food choices were great for our taste. One our guest ordered vegan moussaka- this dish didn’t look appealing when served, and she didn’t like it after all, so it was a waste. Halibut was very good, flatbreads variety was offered as well. We were surprised there were no green salad options in Mediterranean restaurant. Overall, was not a bad experience, but we would probably not repeat.

   The food overall was oustanding. The shish kebab was grisly and chewy.

   I wanted to share my recent experience at lunch. My teenagers and I visited for my birthday and ordered both the chicken kabob and the chicken bowl. Unfortunately, we found the meat to be a bit dry and overcooked, which was disappointing. Regarding the service, I felt there was room for improvement. It would have been nice to receive a bit more attention and a welcoming atmosphere. The host took our order and then left us alone until we asked for the check, which made the experience feel less engaging. A simple gesture of courtesy, like checking in with us after our meal, would have made a big difference. I hope this feedback is helpful as you strive to enhance the dining experience for your guests.

    Brunch: Highly recommend the green eggs and lamb (ask for a side of the serrano salsa or the calabrian chili salsa). The pita donut is great. And the mediterranean brunch bowl was a great salad too.
