A wide variety of tasty small plates and accompanying wines. We especially enjoyed the Fideos, Arroz, and Razor Clams. Both the server and the sommelier were very knowledgeable and steered our table to good choices. The only minor drawback is that the space is tight and the lighting dim - a disservice to seeing the well plated dishes.

What a wonderful experience my sister and I had. Food, service and ambiance were great. We had the dip tower, manti, duck burek, filet skewer, rice and brussel sprouts. Everything was superb but the duck burek was so special and was made with such finesse. Will definitely be back!
