We were 2, plus a dog, and wanted to try this place for lunch. It's got a terrific outside parklet with large sun umbrellas affording shade. We weren't overwhelmed by the menu choices. My spouse had a meatball dish, I had a feta and tomato salad. The meatball dish was ok, the salad a bit underwhelming. The tomatoes were almost tasteless, the dressing forgettable and the giant block of feta perched atop was quite firm without much flavor. I wouldn't order that salad...
The ambiance, food, service and quality was great! You can tell the staff takes their time to ensure all their food and drinks are made and served with quality, care and taste. It was so good that we ended up coming back after our reservation to have a few more cocktails ! The staff really does take their time to explain, recommend cocktails and are knowledgeable about the menu. Will be coming back
I concur with the positive reviews already posted, especially with the raving comments about the staff, whose attentiveness and professionalism are outstanding. As a large group (about 10), we enjoyed an impeccable and cordial service.
