    Food was fine. Enjoyed the spreads and the gyro dumplings. Octopus was bland. Drinks were average and little pricey. Overall the ambiance and decor was very nice and great for a photo but the food/drinks/deserts were all just “fine” and expensive. 3/5 stars for me

    Dined here for my boyfriend’s birthday. I was very excited when we arrived because the hostess was so nice, the ambience was spectacular and we were seated right away! We ordered the tasting spreads with pita and a few drinks to start. The drinks took wayyy longer to arrive than our appetizer which was very shocking to us but not a huge deal. Everything was fine until we kept getting interrupted by waiters bringing drinks to us that wasn’t ours, multiple times we had to tell them we did not order these drinks. Then we placed an order for lobster pappardelle…. I am not exaggerating when I say this was the worst food I have had in my life. It was so bland and absolutely hard to even eat. I felt as if I ruined my boyfriend’s birthday with this terrible dining experience. And sadly had to report to others and clients within my consulting/sales job that this place is not worth trying.

    The ambiance was very fun and entertaining! We were disappointed with the service and food. We have to wait about 25 min after our dinner reservation time to be seated and they crammed us into a high top table by the bar. The cocktails were good but it took a while for the food to come out and the dips/ spreads and entrees were just ok, lacking flavor.

    Mona was a real disappointment I highly recommend not coming here for food. For a drink it could be great because the ambience is amazing but the food was so disappointing. We had octopus that was so chewy and inedible and charred. The lamb chops had one bite of good meat but otherwise fat and covered with grease. The dips tasted like they were out of a can from Trader Joe’s…and it was expensive so should’ve been good food. Very sad!

    Very lackluster food, the best thing were the dips and pita. Either over seasoned or under seasoned meat options.
