The food was outstanding for both us and our friends, and the service was top-notch. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated. My only critique is the music choice: it felt more like a high-energy club or bar vibe, which didn't quite match the Mediterranean menu and decor. Other than that minor detail, it was a solid 10/10!

The food is very good and the restaurant decor is fun, comfortable and pleasing. The noise level was tolerable for the 3 generations at our table. We found the service a little erratic as our waiter disappeared several times and there were lengthy delays trying to get him to come and take our orders. Bus boy must have been new, as he dropped cutlery, knocked a glass, and scraped food off plates at the table to make it easier for him to clear. Not cool at a fine dining establishment. In spite of the service, all in all quite an enjoyable dining experience.

At my age I can get away with dips and splitting a salad. It can get a little noisy but a vibe that is welcoming and two can eat with drinks and tip for under $200!
