   Superb dining experience. Excellent service - friendly and pleasant, but not at all intrusive. Always there if we needed something, but not interfering at all. Nice pacing of food. Two of us shared seven small plates - beet salad, kolokitokeftedes and shrimp dish were standouts, but everything was quite good. We were so full we hesitated on dessert, but were glad in the end we chose to share the warm chocolate cake with mastic ice cream. A nice Greek take on vanilla ice cream that really complemented the cake. Turkish coffee was excellent and delivered in style. We weren't rushed, we loved the dining experience and ambiance and will be happy to return.

   We were assured setting out side was enclosed and well heated. It is except the table we had was at the edge of the enclosure and was only had one heater to cover 4 people and the whipping 40 mile an hour winds coming right over our table, we had our coats gloves and hoods on. Food is extremely small portions even though we asked if they were sharable, wait staff was slow. Food was delicious but the experience was bad.

   Noise level was only thing detracting from an exceptional meal. I do appreciate an “energetic” environment, but only up to a moderately high sound level.

   The food used to be good. This time everything was average. There wasn’t a single dish that stood out as being really excellent. Perhaps the octopus the vegetable dishes were drowned in sometimes tasteless purées, there was a pasta dish that tasted as if it were made from a packet And the walnut ice cream dessert option was completely bland. I think the quality control has gone down.

   Excellent service. Interesting spicing and textures. Exceptional choices that worked well together. Great assortment of wines by the glass.

   Food was very mediocre and overpriced. None of the dishes I had were memorable or worth ordering again. Overall, very subpar experience - there are much better places for Mediterranean food.

   Always a wonderful meal. The chicken soup really hit the spot on this cold winter day!

    It was overall a wholesome and worth it experience. The ambience was great, the food options were great, especially as we are vegetarian, we had lot of healthier at the same time unique flavours to try. The service was overall good but could have been better
