read moreThe restaurant received mostly positive reviews, with customers praising the delicious food, great atmosphere, and attentive service. The menu was described as innovative and the dishes were flavorful and well-balanced. Some highlights included the leg of lamb with saffron rice, beef kofta kabob, and mini chocolate cake. Customers also appreciated the relaxed and romantic atmosphere, as well as the recommendations from the servers. However, there was one negative review that detailed a disappointing experience in Cincinnati, with cold and unappetizing food, rude service, and unprofessional behavior from the manager. Despite this, overall feedback for the restaurant was positive, with many customers planning to return in the future and recommending it to friends.
