Reviews highlight the inviting atmosphere, unique drinks, delicious food, and impeccable service. The lobster risotto was a nice portion, though some found it lacked taste, while the taziki with pita and shrimp cervichi was delicious. An exceptional dinner featured great food, with shout-outs to the fried olives, spanakopita (crunchy and savory!), and the (3) dips appetizer. Standout entrees included the lamb shank, halibut, and lamb chops. The service was attentive, with staff offering great tips and not upselling. The staff were attentive to a large group and did not rush service. They are consistent, with customers returning multiple times and always being very happy with the food and service.
