    We had a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon in the outside dining space. Service was attentive, bread with dipping oil and balsamic to start while we checked out the menu. A great choice of Craft Cocktails, the Evil Eye was delicious, Ketel One Peach & Orange Blossom Vodka, Blue Curaçao, Passion Fruit Purée, Lemon Juice and Coconut Syrup. Tzatziki with pita and Crispy Olives were perfect starters before our main course. The Seafood Paella was enough to share with a butterflied lobster tail, prawns, salmon, scallops, mussels, chorizo, tomato, peas, clams in a saffron broth was a perfect combination. The courses were spaced perfectly. The Greek Cheesecake was a work of art served with berries. We look forward to returning with friends and family.
