All around it’s a great place but the tables for two people are too close together. Don’t get me wrong it’s fine but we could barely talk at the tables we asked to switch to the couch so we could hear each other. The food is good and service is fantastic Bobby was great.

The place is gorgeous from the moment you enter the establishment. It has a modern Mediterranean feel but very upscale. Our server was great and she offered tips that improved our experience. Food was 10/10 and this spans from the first pita that came out to all the appetizers and entrees. Came with a large group and the family style serving was perfect. Great value for this top quality food and experience. Will be returning with friends or for a date night.
