    I enjoyed and would return. I would recommend that they train their wait staff better. Our server was unable to provide any information about any dish we inquired about, beyond standard platitudes and “I haven’t tried it.” We always enjoy interacting with wait staff and when they’re good, like the cheesemongers at DiBruno’s, they take a good experience and elevate it to the sublime

    The menu is misleading about what is and is not vegan, as I was informed by one of the staff on one occasion. Unlike her, however, the servers generally are poorly trained, have no idea about the food (particularly the vegan options), and are not very thoughtful about accommodating any special requests. The food is excellent but the prices are ridiculously high relative to all comparable restaurants in the area.

    The food was delicious and the service was great! A bit loud because 2 big parties were there but the staff managed everyone well. We shared the spinach salad, roasted/smoked eggplant and lamb chops plus they brought a delicious starter of fresh from the over pita and dips! Everything was fresh and delicious. I highly recommend!

    Restaurant was beautiful. Service was excellent. The complementary premeal food was delicious and the spinach salad was very fresh and tasty. The entree was disappointing. Although the food was temperature hot, the meat was chewy and burnt. Also paying over $30 for each of the entrees, the potions was extremely small.

    Excellent food! As for ambiance, they could darken the place more. One thing we wish we knew before coming was that it was BYOB. They didnt really serve alcohol which would have been perfect with their food. Nonetheless, we’ll definitely come back and also bring our own wine

    Food is awesome! We ordered the zucchini salad, sea bass, octopus and Turkish coffee. Both the presentation and taste of the food is incredible. The complimentary bubble bread is great too. Will definitely come back!

    One of the best if not the best restaurants we have been to in New Jersey. Food, service, presentation is outstanding. Specifically i recommend oxtail and smoked eggplant. We have been there at least 10 times and will go back.
