This was our first time eating here. The service was friendly, and the food was delish! We ordered a small salad, and it was more than enough for the two of us. We loved the baked wings, and we had a made-to-order thin-crust pizza that was so very good! Great cocktails and a generous wine pour. We will definitely be coming back!

Everything we ate was delicious. The Beet Salad was well dressed and plentiful for two. The Short Ribs were tender and tasty - great comfort dish! The Lamb Kebabs and Couscous are my “go to favorite”. The Baklava w/Vanilla Ice Cream was “the right way to end a fantastic meal”! Our server was attentive (checked in on us regularly) and efficient. Wonderful dining experience!
