I’m from Spain and I really enjoyed how this restaurant mixes food from Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey. Truly a Mediterranean restaurant! And both the food and the service were great!

Met a friend here for dinner and it was pretty darned good! We were in a booth, and the framed glass partitions between the booths made for good conversation you could hear (great idea for functional decor!!). We shared the zucchini chips with tzatiki and I had the skewered chicken with a wonderful tomato, chickpea and cuke salad (wish there was more of that!! - it was so good that I made a batch myself at home).

3 percent tip for kitchen automatically added, ( that apparently you can ask them to remove) - I didn’t because I wasn’t brave enough, bread is ordered for 4 bucks minimum and not complimentary, minimum tip on screen is 18% while the server is at your table. This owner knows how to make extra revenue and it shows - place is pretty empty on a Saturday night and service (low expectations) is borderline ok - you get nothing unless you asked. Kids menu is pretty decent however. My advice to the owner here is focus on expanding your business before expanding margins - don’t see a lot of people coming back here.

hostess was amazing, then got sat and our server took far too long to greet us, bring us our drinks, and take our orders. first of all, we ordered some drink special on the menu that was disgusting. the pasta we ordered was missing chicken that was ordered with it (which costed an extra $7) and we never got one of our drinks. after waiting another 10-15 minutes for our server to come back and check on us, we asked for the chicken and drink. she brought the drink and not the chicken until another 10-15 minutes. the pasta had already been finished by then and it was ordered as a chicken pasta, so no one ended up eating the chicken. when we got the bill we requested for the chicken up-charge to be removed, not even bothering the fact that we still paid for the nasty drink and the one that wasn’t brought until halfway through our meals. the manager came over after another 10 minutes and proceeded to argue with us over the $7 difference, then ended up begrudgingly taking it off. we were probably there for a total of 2 hours, and 1 of those was just waiting for this ridiculously slow service. the patio, however, was very nice. disappointed in the service.

The food was overall very good - the spinach pie was delicious. However, the pan con tomate wasn’t what we expected - it was more like a tomato jam. The drinks were excellent! The life music was fantastic. Service was quite disappointing, as we waited over 45 minutes for our entrées. We had a direct view of the pass and saw our food sitting there for at least 15 minutes before it was brought to us. Our server and all the staff were very kind and welcoming. Not sure if we came on an off day, but I’m willing to give it a second try.

My first time here & I was excited! The atmosphere was great, the decor was beautiful. Our waiter was pleasant & attentive.
I got the octopus & shrimp risotto, I was not pleased with it. It was like a soup & very very salty. My hubby got the chicken Milanese which looked good he liked it. Our other dinner guest got the smash burger which he ate too &’said it was good.
My reason for the 2 stars is this:
The open prep area that is in front of the open kitchen was my issue. That area was where there was one person putting together takeout, putting together salads & cutting bread for tables & finishing the appy’s to be brought to the tables. She never wore Any gloves while handling the bread with her hands & cutting it into slices for the tables, she also was putting lettuce, arugula etc into bowls without gloves &’at one point her earring fell out & she put it back in moving her hair aside with No gloves then continued to handle loaves of bread while slicing them & her bare hands were handling the bread! I will think twice before going back there & that’s too bad because the food & atmosphere was good!

Food is delicious. Menu is huge and changes frequently but not too often. Service needs work but the open kitchen concept is great. Look forward to going back.

Jelly was an amazing server. She was kind, quick, and knew what she was doing. If you do go here I do recommend jelly as your server. The food was also delicious like always.

This is my kind of Mediterranean restaurant!!!
An Italian/Greek/Spanish mix! All the food was tasty!!! The best part were my two new friends, owner/hostess Demetria and server Jelly! Outstanding ladies! See you next time soon!
