Went here with my wife on a double date and we really loved it! The Brussels were amazing and the beets were so fresh. The potatoes were really good though felt like a little more crisp would have been solid. ...

Lets start with dessert....our table tried three...the baklava was the winner with a nice warmth and crispiness that brought great delight. The other big standout from our meal was the Muhammara it was lightly blended dried red peppers with a sweet hint that was paired with a delicious flat bread. All in all a great meal.

Amazing food. The Greek Mac and Cheese is superb as is the Greek yogurt. Great staff. Parking is a challenge and the chairs are hard wood, but the food is excellent. Highly recommend.
