I met friends for dessert and wine. The server was delightful, the outside patio is heated, and the prices are very good. I'll definitely come back again.

This is a great spot with a warm vibe. It looks small in entering, but there's additional seating in the back. The service is excellent too. The food came out in less than 20 minutes, and the portions are a good size. Just enough to fill you, but not so much you have leftovers. I had the salmon burger and fries, both were cooked perfectly - the fries were crisp and the salmon was juicy. Both were too lightly seasoned for me but still enjoyable. I appreciated that neither were salty. I'll be back to try other options.Parking: Street parking may require you to walk a few blocks.

So here's the thing... it's a nice little spot for a local bar/small restaurant. Seems like a local favorite among the patrons. The food was yummy and came out in a decent time after you ordered. The drinks were good too and they have a happy hour 4-7pm. It was a bit confusing though because I entered through the back, which had a bar and some seating, but apparently there was a whole other bar and seating area somewhere in the front. You would never know this.It was a bit chilly outside and the servers/bartenders were taking care of customers sitting in their covered "patio" space (it had heaters), so whenever anyone opened the restaurant's door this cold draft would come in making the seating area a bit uncomfortable. Tip: there is a parking lot out back but it's $5 (cash) to park but it looks like it's free parking after a certain time.

Came here for drinks and dessert and everything was perfect. The dessert was good and the prices were very reasonable.

They could use another pair of hands to help turn tables during the dinner rush, but the food exceeded expectations. The Veggie Samosas were really well seasoned and had a nice slight kick. The chicken shawarma was also perfectly seasoned and cooked. I'm really excited to have found this new go to spot!

Wonderful staff, delicious food.

Incredibly delicious Mediterranean food and at shockingly low prices. Waitstaff was very nice too, with different people all checking in on us regularly. Recommend the veggie platter appetizer with tabouleh, falafel, and hummus (comes with pita so you can make little delicious pita sandwiches out of those ingredients)

Kept it simple with mezza platter. Loved the grape leaves and tabuleh especially since usually I can do without them. But everything tasted so fresh. I will definitely be back.
