    Food was great but lots of hidden fees in the menu. For example an extra skewer is $7 for only 1 piece

    Our second visit and the food did not disappoint. The service was excellent. The atmosphere is lively which made it a little difficult to have conversations across the table. We were at a high top and the bar stools need to have the straps tightened for better comfort of guests, especially those of us who may be vertically challenged. All in all a great spot for a special occasion meal.

    We reserved a table for four and arrived twenty minutes early, but the host found a nice table for us. The restaurant was very busy and everyone seemed to be having a good time. Our server was very nice and always came in a timely manner. Our food was very tasty and cooked well. The desserts were very good as well. Also the mixed cocktails were delicious. We enjoyed ourselves and will definitely return.

    The shish taouck and the lamb chops were both so tender and delicious! The sampler was excellent. Would definitely order the same again next time we go back.
