Everything was delicious! We had the beet salad, rigatoni to share, I got the fish special which was amazing and my husband had the lamb which he said was one of the best preparations he had ever had of lamb. We finished with the phyllo crisp, fruity and light. The wine list is excellent as well. Would definitely recommend!
