Four of us dined at Marjan and everything was enjoyed very much. Starters: hummus and Dolmas. Entrees: lamb shank!, salmon!, mixed kabobs! Delicious!! The baclava was ‘different’ but good. Staff attentive and kind. Thank you all.

Excellent food, service and very accommodating. Not too many places allow outside celebration cake. Gianna’s is very family oriented. Great place for groups
