The ANNEX is a gem in the area, offering an upscale dining experience with reasonable prices. Food was delicious and no long waiting. Calamari was done so well. Greek salad with grilled chicken on top of big brick of Feta and the vinaigrette was homemade. The person I was with had Cesar salad with medium rare steak. Both served in large shallow bowls. Appetizer size is an excellent idea. They are a perfect size paired with a selected side for a meal. The entrees observed on the tables around looked very good and definitely enough to bring home for another meal. The restaurant itself has a good atmosphere. Smaller, with simple tasteful decor. The service was great and the overall experience was pleasant. It was very easy to converse and be heard without competing with tables near ours. The managers and owner were Exceptionally accommodating. The food was OUTSTANDING!

Fine food all the way. Great service. Charming decor and art work. Loud bar adjacent. Unfortunate name for a fine restaurant.
