Would avoid at all costs!!! Rude/aggressive owners, felt like I was being discriminated here, food was extremely bland and mediocre especially for how expensive it is.

Ezov has food that plays with your palate in every department - textures, taste and aromas.
The portion size was perfect, not too much, and that helped us sample a good amount of things on the sunday brunch menu.
The pistachio bun was very flavorful and paired with some filter coffee, you cannot stop.
The orange blossom bun has hints of orange peel and is subtly flavored, but for us the star was the pistachio bun.
Hummus came out with perfect amount of garlic and the warm pita to go with it was good too.
Crispy sweet potatoes were cooled perfectly and crisp on the outside.
The sabich benedict was a nice surprise with the crispy eggplant and perfect for breakfast/brunch.
The shakshuka was a tad bit tangy and needed a little more pita to be had with.
The service was great and they even brought us extra pita when asked.
They surprised us with their bread pudding that comes with pomegranate-rose jelly as a complimentary dessert for our celebration.

The food was good but felt very RUSHED to finish my meal and leave. To the point I had to ask to keep the sides on the table.

Pros:
- Pan Fried Halloumi: I would eat this every single day. A nice juxtaposition between the shredded phyllo and Halloumi.
- Blood Orange Revani Cake: Perfectly balanced. Not too tart and not too sweet.
- Atmosphere: Very cool ambiance and interior decor.
Cons:
- Hummus with Warm Blue Crab: Severely undersalted. Tasting the hummus alone without crab it had zero salt. And maybe that was intentional if they want the crab to act as the acidity?? Either way, it just wasn't good. In addition to there being crab shell in the mix.
- Service: Could have been an off night based on the positive reviews but our service was very slow and pacing seemed off. Our dips and meze came all at once, then a long gap between the mains, which we had to tell our server we were ready for. Again, maybe on off night.

whipped feta and revani were impressive
Food was phenomenal. The whipped feta was our favorite dish, with the lamb shank a close second. I would skip the desserts next time.
As for the service, Miranda is extremely knowledgeable and seemingly passionate about the food. She is one of the best waitresses I’ve had at any restaurant and really added to our experience.

The food here feels so familiar and so new,all at once. It's inventive but recognizable. And always so delicious! Amazing flavors, great variety and the service is outstanding. I love Ezov so much that I brought my parents here when they were visiting for the holidays.

I same day booked a table at Azov for my anniversary night, and the experience was truly outstanding. I was warmly welcomed by the receptionist, who showed me to my table, which had a thoughtful “Happy Anniversary” card from the restaurant.
The waiter was incredibly friendly and attentive, offering great recommendations and ensuring everything was perfect throughout the evening. Each dish was personally presented by the chefs, who took the time to describe their creations, adding a special touch to the meal.
The entire experience made the night unforgettable. I highly recommend Azov for any special occasion—whether you’re celebrating with a partner or enjoying a night out with family.
Update 1/11/26: As regular patrons of Ezov, we are consistently welcomed with genuine warmth and hospitality. Today, we explored several new selections from their Sunday brunch menu, and the experience exceeded expectations. The dishes were fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully curated, offering an excellent variety. As always, we left with empty plates, satisfied, happy, and ready for a leisurely neighborhood walk home. A consistently outstanding experience with great food and an inviting atmosphere.

My partner and I came here for their NYE prefix dinner, and even though the food was technically fine, the way they handled my partner being a vegetarian (which was not great) left such a sour taste in my mouth. Especially for 125 per person and after drinks and tip was roughly 240 each, it was not worth that price at all. The food was good but not 125 good.
For context, we came for the same thing two years ago at Ezov and had such a lovely time so we decided to come back. My partner is a vegetarian and one of the biggest reasons we chose to come here for dinner was 1. Because they handled it well before, and 2. in the event description it said they’d accommodate vegetarians.
When I made the reservation I noted that my partner is a vegetarian. The day before NYE I received a text from a Gabe asking for info on if we had dietary restrictions or allergies - I said my partner is a vegetarian. We get there, we are given two menus, both include meat. That’s fine - our server came by and I said I just wanted to reiterate he’s a vegetarian - no problem they said they could absolutely accommodate. First set was mostly dips and bread. Second set of courses come out, they handled it great. For the one of three things that wasn’t vegetarian normally they brought out something else for him. Third set comes out, and it was all the same for us both to share. There were three different dishes, and I was skeptical all was vegetarian so I asked the person who brought them if they were all vegetarian - he said yes. Great. There was a dumpling that looked great so my partner and I both got one. I ate it first and just before my partner put a bite in his mouth I stopped him bc it was definitely lamb. I tell someone coming by, they apologize, it takes a while for his vegetarian version to come out. Drinks took a while to get a second round. Whatever. Fourth set / the main comes out and it’s skewers of things. Mine is chicken with potatoes on one, swordfish and cherry tomatoes on another. His are just mushrooms on one, and just butternut squash? I think on the other. They served it all on the same platter. His mushroom skewers were laying essentially on my fish skewers/definitely touching. This is the most basic rule of serving vegetarian food - don’t serve it touching meat. We didn’t make a stink about it but I was honestly just baffled at this point. We mentioned it to the server like hey - this happened but like this probably wouldn’t be cool for most vegetarians. He offers more bread? why would we want bread at the end of our meal? We get dessert. It’s fine - a little too sweet for me. We get the bill and we’re surprised they didn’t comp anything - not even one round of drinks or one of his just as a way to say sorry. Anyway - long story long we probably won’t be coming back. They probably shouldn’t highlight that they can accommodate vegetarians and vegans in the event description because it seemed like more than they could handle.
TLDR: If you’re not a vegetarian the food was good. If you are, maybe only come for regular dinner where you are choosing what you get.

Really good food! Our server was very nice and helped us pick out the right amount of food with varying flavors. The music was a bit loud but that would be my only complaint. Inside space was interesting, but would love to try sitting in their outside space.

Wish there were more of us so we can order more on the menu to try. Fire roasted eggplant and beef/lambs manti were delicious. Loved the vibe and house bread!
