Our server and service was great. Liked most of the food we ordered…vegan cheese cake was amazing. The octopus was eh. Loved the eggplant and falafel. It was too cold in the restaurant and we were sitting right under the vent.

Amazing food. We enjoyed all of the dishes: humus, Brussels sprouts, shrimp, latkes, short rib polenta. All delicious. Service was attentive and helpful. Wine list should be more accessible in price. There's no incentive to get a bottle. We would have ordered a second bottle if the price point was better.

Empty tables everywhere, I had 5pm reservation and they wanted to seat me right next to the service station and kitchen. I refused to sit there. If they had not found me a different table I would have left. Food was delicious and service from the wait staff was great.
