    First and foremost, a wow factor makes your presence just as you enter the restaurant! Exquisite and tasteful decor and ambience. Warm welcomes from different staff members and Sean Agaj - owner delivers above and beyond service, food quality and experience. Watch out NYC you must visit and enjoy a true Mediterranean food story.

    Service was excellent almost too attentive. The atmosphere was lively. They had a sax player who was very talented that we enjoyed tremendously. Wine was amazingly good and my husband enjoyed his Greek beer. My husbands lamb chops were delicious and such a large serving. My red snapper was fresh but arrived cold and a bit undercooked. I wanted to give them a great review but the fish was a bit disappointing for the price point. I got the impression this was a new restaurant so I'm thinking when they figure out the kinks it will be excellent as a lot of effort is put into their service.

    From the moment in the door, service was incredible. The restaurant is beautiful; decorated for Christmas. The wait staff & mgr checked on us often. The mgr was extremely welcoming & cordial. The food..! It was fresh, authentic Mediterranean. We tried many entrees & sides & all were exceptional. I’d highly recommend this restaurant as one of the best I’ve been to.
