We had a very nice round table for 7 people. Appetizers and most entrees were delicious. The tuna entree missed the mark. The tuna itself was lacking flavor and the kimchi noodles were too spicy and didn’t seem to pair well with the tuna.

First time here. Nice Mediterranean cuisine. Well prepared. Wait staff was mostly Turkish and was helpful in explaining menu choices and recommendations. Bottles wine choices were marked up a little higher than I thought they should be. But that is not a reason to avoid this Mediterranean gem.
