   Food was excellent, just did tapas. Cocktails were great. The best was our server! She was so knowledgeable about cocktails as well as the food.

   This was a birthday celebration with my daughters. We started our evening with a cocktaill. I had the Old Fashion and one daughter had the Moscow Mule. The other daughter ordered the house Malbec. The drinks were expertly crafted. We continued by ordering two appetizers. We were a little disappointed that the saganaki was not flamed at the table. The bruschetta was served on a very tasty crostini. We then ordered our entrees. We each had the filet. The steaks were cooked to perfection and were so tender and moist. We shared a bottle of the Italian Cabarnet to accompany of meal. The chef treated us to the spinach filled phyllo. This was another perfectly prepared dish. For the birthday celebration one daughter had a piece of strawberry cheesecake and the other had the baklava cheesecake. Both were fantastic. The restaurant was busy but our service was good. The noise level from the bar area did increase noticeably as the evening progressed.

   My wife and I enjoyed the food! The service was great as well. They did seem slightly understaffed for a Friday night though.

   Great addition to area restaurants. The menu selections are varied and good. Filet was very good as was the red snapper. Red beet salad was fresh and innovative with citrus dressing. Great service and background music. Just reserved for NYE.

   It was a wonderful dining experience. The food is always outstanding. It was very busy, but they managed to still be attentive to our needs.

   Wait staff was friendly but seemed a bit understaffed for a Friday night. Fish fry and fresh cut fries was quite tasty!

   Incredibly well sourced and prepared meals. I will be going back again soon. This is the best restaurant around this entire area by far! Loved the food and the service was perfect.
