    Excellent overall experience. In assessing the likes and dislikes of our group; different people hold their opinion of likes and dislikes- some like music, some don’t or maybe the volume, whatever. The menu while not voluminous offers a range of great stuff- from cheese to a fantastic rotisserie, fresh bread; if you want chicken and a green salad, you can get that too- in my opinion don’t complain ‘if you can do it better at home’, then don’t go out. Three people, no booze but tea and sparkling water- bread comes with cheese, we got two- a spicy feta and a fried one w pistachios, awesome; fried mushrooms, a cabbage salad and a lemon chicken filo pie- then a leg of lamb dish from the rotisserie and a bowl of potatoes, all fantastic- rounded out w a dark chocolate hardened mousse w hazlenuts and a blackberry and candied hazelnut garnish. $158 w lunch for two tomorrow from leftovers. A++

    We had a wonderful brunch to celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday. From the spanakopita croissant to inventive egg breakfast dishes to the delicious dips and marvelous honey cake - we will definitely be going back. The ambiance is warm and sophisticated. We had a perfect boozy brunch celebration.
