The only reason it gets a 3.5 is because they charge a 20% service fee and it's not explicitly stated at the top of the menu.

Great place from start to finish! The staff were amazing: friendly, quick, and generous. The complimentary bread is so good, and they wanted to keep bringing us more. The cauliflower and shrimp were excellent. The cocktails were also good and creative combinations I've never seen elsewhere.

From the complimentary bread and olive oil to Hummus, Red lentil soup, and the Chicken Shish Kebab. Everything was delicious and affordable.

The restaurant is beautifully decorated, a bit noisy but you still can talk without feeling like you're yelling at each other.

Definitely a favorite of mine. Can't wait...
