We have to wait about 25 min after our dinner reservation time to be seated and they crammed us into a high top table by the bar. The cocktails were good but it took a while for the food to come out and the dips/ spreads and entrees were just ok, lacking flavor.

For a drink it could be great because the ambience is amazing but the food was so disappointing. We had octopus that was so chewy and inedible and charred. The lamb chops had one bite of good meat but otherwise fat and covered with grease. The dips tasted like they were out of a can from Trader Joe’s…and it was expensive so should’ve been good food. Very sad!

Right when you walked in it smelled so good and the ambiance was amazing and unique. Bar was placed on the side towards the back which gave the dining area a more free flowing look. Our seat placement was cozy but the table was a little small once plates and drinks were on it. Food came out free flowing which was nice. The gyro dumplings were our favorite and also the spicy spread with pita. We got a lot of food for a great price. We will be back. Thanks
