    The ambiance is exquisite & the food, cocktails, and wine were all wonderful. It was a little confusing as to who was our waiter but they were all attentive, especially the owner!

    This has become one of our favorite spots for reliably good food and service. Their pacing (time to order, food arrival and even check presentation) seems to align with our preferences. We never feel rushed but also dont have to flag down a waiter re: delays. We love greek food, but their take on even the simplest item (e.g. chicken wings, french fries) has zip and flavor galore. The food arrives hot and perfectly seasoned (we love the lemon pepper version of the wings). They also use their space wisely. When we arrived yesterday, there was a large and inevitably noisy group indoors. Knowing we like a quieter dinner, they rearranged the outdoor tables to create a perfect spot on a chilly night.
