Loved this restaurant; everyone friendly and accommodating. Food was delicious. Only one issue was that no one ever checked that we needed another glass of wine; we had to help ourselves and walk across the porch to fetch it from the ice bucket. Will return, & this was a tiny glitch (the wine recommendation was excellent)!

A beautiful restaurant with the most delicious, fresh Mediterranean fare. My second time in a week. This is how we were all meant to eat! The lobster is amazing, but absolutely start off with their hummus and homemade chips and okra strips. Love everything about this place, especially James, our waiter. :) He is so polite, and a great sense of humor. A great start to a fun night w amazing friends♥️
