    First time here, and I can’t believe I didn’t know about them when they were in Piermont. It was a very easy drive to get here from the house and this is going to be a regular restaurant in our rotation. There’s probably a dozen more things I wanted to try that we didn’t have room for. Everything was amazing. Loved it. Can’t wait to go back.

    Perfect as always. Shout out to Caesar who is attentive, friendly and a class act guy. The food was stupendous. The meat platter for 4 was delectable. And all the starters are great. We love the shepherds salad with feta, the hummus and the babaganoush. The falafel too! Thank you for all the hard work.
