Lamb kabob and almond crusted halibut were to die for. Great staff, felt like we had all 8 waiters to ourselves. Finished the night with an impromptu dance and some baklava with memories that will last a life time. Thank you!

Haven’t been here for awhile. We sat on the indoor patio. It was cozy and quiet. Meal and service were excellent. Try the vodka pasta it’s the best.
