First time at restaurant for wife’s birthday. It was fantastic, the food was great and the service was superb. We were done eating and the waiter brought out a cheese piece out and drizzled some honey on it. He said this will be the best you ever had. My wife had a Megan Ryan moment! “When Harry met Sally” Food was great and we will be back

Went for lunch , had the Sadaf salad and added juicy chicken. It was very fresh, flavorful and delicious. I also ordered humus appetizer for over $10. It didn’t come with pita bread but some very slim pita type cracker which was unappealing and I didn’t care for the humus but I’m used to Greek humus. If you use a credit card you will pay for your meal.
