We also offer authentic appetizers, tapas, flat breads, salads and iconic mains from the multicultural heritage of the Mediterranean civilization. For a more refined and sophisticated experience, our meals are accompanied by selected, elegant and affordable wines including Pinot Grigio, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, Tempranillo, and others.

    Lovely ambiance, very chill and good vibe. The charcuterie was excellent. Grilled cheese very rich. Not a lot of menu options but definitely worth the view and the service was great!

    This place is truly a hidden gem! The ambiance is intimate and stylish, making it a perfect spot for cocktails and small plates. We tried a few delicious cocktails, each expertly crafted, along with some tasty entrées that did not disappoint. However, the restaurant started emptying out before 9:30 PM, giving the impression that they were closing, which cut our evening short. It would have been nice to linger a bit longer. Overall, a great experience for a night out—just be mindful of the timing!

    We enjoyed the live saxophone music. The restaurant had a good ambience and was esthetically nice. Our food didn't take long to come. We ordered the Hummus and naan bread. The food especially the naan bread was too salty,so I couldn't finish it.. I would go back,but I would order something different.
