Normally a great place.... Unless you're looking for lunch at noon on a weekend. No weekend lunch menu. Are you kidding me? I'm not looking for a $25 dinner at noon.

One of my favorite places to eat in the area. Excellent service, a variety of seating options depending on your dining plans and the weather (outside, booth, table, and bar), a wide variety of delicious Mediterranean foods served with flair and flavor, and an excellent drink selection as well.My first visit (for my birthday) was a little disappointing because I really wanted the Vegetarian Mezze which I was told they no longer serve.[Update, a year later] I celebrated my birthday there again This time, with the help of our excellent server, Jenna, I was able to get the Vegetarian Mezze (even though it was not on our menus) ?[end update]The food I chose instead was delicious and attractively plated and my favorite has definitely become the Greek salad with feta and beets (and still is a year later). I had a visit where the tomatoes in the Greek salad were not very fresh (only happened once) and I was disappointed with the eggplant lasagna - it wasnt "bad" but it wasn't "spectacular" - everything else is just *so good* that I really had high expectations.As a vegetarian, the options available to me are a little limited but not stifling, but my other (non-vegetarian) guests have had no complaints about any of the wide variety of other meal options.It is a wonderful place to sit down for a long conversation and relaxing meal and I will definitely continue to eat here on a regular basis.It is a little on the expensive side, but not overpriced, and definitely price appropriate for the atmosphere, quality of the food, and excellent service.

This is one of our favorite places to eat when we come down in the winter. Last night did not disappoint. We had a terrific waitress by the name Alexa and she was absolutely amazing. We had a couple appetizers, split a big Greek salad, 2 delicious entrées plus dessert. Needless to say we have another delicious meal coming tonight as leftovers. Great food and wonderful service. They always seem to exceed expectations.

In the past the food here has been very good. Tonight we ordered the Filet Mignon Kebab and the Lamb Kabob. The meat was cooked too much. We asked for medium rare. It was dried out. Our friends ordered chicken dishes and the chicken was dried out also. The waiter apologized and that was that. Disappointed.

Ben the manager was very rude and disrespectful to me and my family as we were “walk-ins” and not a reservation. His words were, that we were not the priority. Very disappointed as this was a place my family and I frequented and having a reservation was never a prerequisite for dining here before. I felt that we were profiled for having a child with us and not being over 50. We will not be back.

I stopped in next door to get a haircut and had some time to kill. I was just going to have a snack, however the menu options impressed me as well as the prices so I had a meal. I walked in and went right to the bar. Immediately was asked if I wanted a menu and a water. Next, I was asked if I wanted a beverage, I ordered a Titos and soda with a splash of tonic, no fruit. The bartender delivered fresh pita bread with an herb butter and an olive spread. I ordered the Mediterranean Sea Bass, the BRANZINO, it was a great dish. The back bar is amazing, the restaurant was very clean and neat and had great decor. If you like wine this restaurant has a great selection, presentation and served at proper temperatures. The staff could have been more personable and they should offer to teach the guest about the menu.
