We had a 7:45 pm reservation, arrived about 15 mins early and had to wait 30-40 mins to get our table. We stood in the bar while waiting. Bar was fairly loud. We enjoyed gin rummy drinks. Our table was in a quieter side room. We shared the chorizo-stuffed dates as a starter. Very tasty. Hubby had the gyro and love it. I had the mixed grill which was excellent. We shared the creme brulee for dessert. It was excellent. We took a slice of key lime pie home to our daughter. She thought it was fabulous.

We loved our visit! Beautiful place. Food was perfect. Our waiter was very good but he was defiantly rushing our dinner. Was very persistent in taking our complete dinner order as soon as our cocktail’s arrived. That was our only complaint…. Whole pricey dinner was felt really rushed…and our reservation was for 5:45🫣

The food is always fantastic...my favorite at lunch is the salmon salad with avocado and mango. A delicious combination. We were lucky enough to be served by Jason, who is friendly, energetic and a perfect waiter.
