Had a great experience here. The staff was incredibly receptive to food allergies - everything was handled with care and ease. The manager personally made sure the meal went smoothly, and our server was attentive and perfectly timed throughout. Really appreciated how seamless and stress-free it all felt. The food was excellent, too. We tried the chicken thigh for the first time and loved the change-up. Looking forward to coming back.
Why the hype for this restaurant? Much of the food was very, very salty (especially the farro and halloumi), and the ingredients were just way out of balance. Even the bread was salty! 
The glenview location is a lot prettier with tall ceilings and a glass dome. The food here was as expected - overall good. We chose to be seated outside and the plates were a little dusty from sitting out all day - something staff should have noticed . We usually get the octopus - yet this time it was TINY, with 1/3 of it burned... our waiter was nice. Overall it was a good experience, (nothing phenomenal) but we would probably not make a trip from the North Shore to dine here...
