    Everything at dinner last night was excellent. The spanikopita was the best both of us had ever tasted and our bucatini with a lobster tail was absolutely delicious. The service was attentive even on a busy Saturday night. My only criticism would be that we were not offered the option of a 2nd glass of wine until after our entree had been eaten. A small error overall. Will definitely be back.

    I love coming here with my husband & our friends to enjoy the seafood brunch! My husband & I don't brunch often, so it seems a bit pricey to us, but we also don't drink. A few of our friends do drink & they offer bottomless mimosas, so I can see that making up for it being a bit pricey. We will be back!

    This was an unexpected "wow"! Very casual, clean and modern inside. Great service and easy to figure out how to grill etc. The shrimp was spicy and fabulous, I highly recommend the cabbage salad which had the best flavor.
