The chicken fried mushrooms were not great - the dip was fantastic, but if you like dipping deep fried dough then this may be wonderful for you. The Babaganoush was fantastic but I think pita bread would be a better accompaniment than lavash - it was thin and hard. Best dish was the cauliflower. Our server was amazing!

We hit this place on a Monday and most of their pastas are available for $14.95. The three of us had different options. Spaghetti and meatballs - linguine pesto - spaghetti alio. All very good. Service was good. The lighting was a bit bright but eventually they turned it down to a better level.

We loved our server (Cam I think?) he was so nice to us and we were a huge group too! Drinks are good (as always) and the Jell-O shots are deliciously dangerous!! Otherwise, food is of average (but expected at a bar). Music was really good that night too!
