Highly recommend. Coming from Seattle, this meal was something else. Everything tasted amazing — flaming cheese, chicken skewers, pita and dips, lemon soup, mushroom filo wrap, and the chicken gyro. Our server was super nice and helped us pick the right portion sizes so we could try more without over-ordering. The bottle of sauv blanc tied it all together. We'll definitely be back.

It was very difficult to fine since it is in a mall type area & has no store front but we called $ the hostess did her best explaining where they were located! The ambience is cute appreciated the fireplace but it was a million degrees in the restaurant since it was unseasonably warm

The food was excellent and our server Anastasia was very attentive. My only complaint is that I was surprised, upon receiving the check, that I was charged so much for a few gluten free pita slices, which I received after asking for gluten free bread (I was allergic to the complimentary bread that was served on the table). Most restaurants wouldn't charge for this.
