Everything at dinner last night was excellent. The spanikopita was the best both of us had ever tasted and our bucatini with a lobster tail was absolutely delicious. The service was attentive even on a busy Saturday night. My only criticism would be that we were not offered the option of a 2nd glass of wine until after our entree had been eaten. A small error overall. Will definitely be back.
