   Amazing service, amazing food! We loved the hummus, the Brussels sprouts, the pepper spread; a refined journey through Greece, Lebanon and Turkey!

   The restaurant manager Chris was super nice and helpful getting us seated outside in a warm spot since we had no jackets. The outdoor ambience was quiet and lovely. Food was interesting and overall good. The restaurant was extremely busy, but it does not excuse that our waiter could not have been more caustic, and unhelpful. We simply asked about one dish and he scoffed and repeated back what the menu stated with no elaboration. After a few negative interactions w him, we decided to order just a few mezes and cut our evening short. Hopefully we just were unlucky🤷‍♀️.

   Excellent service bordering excellence. Food was well prepared and tasted very good. Noise level was unbearable high making normal conversation quite impossible.

   Visiting for the week and booked a table for an early dinner with family from Maryland who drove in for the day. They were in delayed in traffic and arrived 20 minutes later. We were then told that we had be done by 6pm because they needed the table. I understand restaurants need to turn tables, but 90 minutes at a place like this seems stingy. The staff made arrangements to move us which was appreciated but the whole thing just made for an unpleasant experience, especially since the first waitress was incredibly rude to us after we moved tables - seriously unprofessional and immature. I really expected better.

    Have dined several times and always found the food excellent. However it is a popular spot in a busy area and service can suffer as a result.
