Excellent restaurant! outstanding food with great service. The octopus in the appetizers was one of our favorite things we tried. The lamb chops was the other dish we recommend and the pistachio dessert is also a most try. Drinks were excellent too! Try the Mezcaloma its a Mezcal cocktail that has a little bit of a spicy kick on every sip.

Really great food and service. Decent wine selection. One recommendation: reduce the base on the music a bit. Will be back during the week.

The food was very good. We especially enjoyed the bread and lamb. The Greek salad is good, the mushrooms are very good also. You can’t go wrong trying everything they offer.

Fantastic dinner. I love the emphasis on small plates which gave my girlfriend and I the chance to try several amazing dishes. The cocktails were all top notch as well being both creative and refined. Great experience overall.
