Our party of six ordered several small plates such as the chicken skewers, Brussel sprouts, Flaming shrimp, and the Mediterranean salad. All of the them were delicious. The service was good. Our only issue was that the noise level was so loud we could barely hear each other talk.

The ambiance here is just so nice. We went here for a special birthday and the staff provided the birthday girl with a free dessert. We had plenty of time to catch up. Service was nice, and we were left alone. Nice meal. Everything was pleasant.
