michael solaJanuary 6, 2010awesome food, ate at the bar / lounge. It was quick, liked how they brought out the tapas in waves, great idea - Mike Isabella is head chef, he was on Top Chef Read more
Hamad AlHosani 🇦🇪🇺🇸October 21, 2017I didn’t like the way they serve the food, and it is not authentic middle eastern
Candice BarnesJuly 6, 2011Get the sautéed mushrooms. Ask for Mike when you're at the bar. Sometimes he comes out to schmooze.
Chris ReardonMarch 28, 2010Food is excellent. The KishKash Srimp are suberb, as is the Greek Yogurt & Pistachio dessert. Fantastic. A+ overall.
Maggie ChowApril 2, 2010The spanikopita is damn good but it looks like a hot dog?? There's something really good about the olive oil too, very sweet. Yum!
Shrimp with Dill, Escargot and Crab Cakes are my favs!!!
Michelle SOctober 17, 2015BEST FOOD EVER! This was one of the best dinners I've ever had. Waitress offered great choices. Will definitely be back! Tried 12 plates least favorite was lamb chops, everything else was great!
ᴡ mcgeeMay 29, 2010Small plates, share, tapas style. Food over-hyped. Fried squash blossoms were good and Scallops too sweet with the yogurt dill sauce.
Sit outside on a nice night. Top it off with a glass of vino for a perfect evening.
The FeastJune 10, 2011Be sure to schedule a meal during their Easter special, which features several Greek Easter-inspired dishes.

BJune 26, 2010I LOVED the restaurant. I recommend getting the $22 lunch special. That way you can share with every one.
