We had some lackluster food in downtown Portland. Missing great high end or mediocre menu items, but alas a wedding brought us out into the suburbs. There we found this hidden gem on Main Street. The food has excellent taste, portions, and Mediterranean diet. The quality is immediately apparent from the complimentary pita and oil brought out to the table the size of a pizza. The lamb bowl and mezza plate were excellent unlike anything we could get in MN.
