    The new menu, which is a combination of the next-door Sahara restaurant, is a brilliant one. Not only can we get traditional Mediterranean food, but we also get regular press box offerings, which have consistently delicious features. The Fish and Chips was a hit; it had a crisp batter and was not greasy, which is sometimes hard to find. I enjoyed the chicken skewers, which were marinated just right with lots of chunks of white meat chicken nestled on a rice dish that included plump golden raisins. The cocktails, I enjoyed the lemondrop, were delicious, and our hostess/server, Fatima, was personable, professional, and efficient. The ONLY criticism is that we need to have more martini glasses. Both my Lemon Drops were served in a champagne glass.

Our server, Josh, was excellent and showed a wonderful combination of being accommodating and giving us our space. It was an added positive getting to know Josh a little.
