    Made reservation for 1pm - had to wait 20 min to get the table. Meanwhile my table that was suggested I will get was given to someone who came after me. Waiting 15 min for orders to be taken, just horrible service. Food was great! But service disappointing, so never again.

    Back to Ovelia after a long time and king of disappointed. We had 3 appetizers and a branzino. The saganaki and the octopus were both warm. How on Earth do you serve cold saganaki? The branzino was not bad. Lemon potatoes had very little lemon. The chocolate cake was not bad at all. Very interesting tahini sauce. The wine selection was so small. The sauvignon blanc is delicious. My guest liked the chardonnay. I am going back? Of course, and hoping that it was a fluke.

    Had a delicious meal! The monastiraki bifteki was spot on with flavor and portion. The heat of the jalapeño is a great addition to the dish. We enjoyed the well dressed prasini salad. We couldn’t resist not having dessert. The thyme honey ice cream is not too sweet and complimented our overall meal.
