The owner was our waitress and she couldn't have been sweeter and was such a quirky interesting person. The food is Armenian or from the caucuses but they translated it as caucasian food? The cheese stuffed eggplant with pomergraniants was amazing! The note about Spanish children being respectful in restaurants was so funny loved it! The decorations of musicians from Kurt Coban to Led Zepplin were great!! Nice mixture of locals and tourists,

The only downside is that it's mandatory to get there by foot, as you can't park in the narrow streets surrounding it.

It turned out that the kitchen had just closed however the staff decided that they would keep it open for us and allowed us to order 4 tapas dishes all of which were fantastic!! We had stuffed pancakes, kabab, limo in almond sauce and stuffed cabbage. We followed this with chocolate cheese cake. The staff really couldn't do any more for us. Would recommend 100

We had the beet salad and an eggplant preparation both delicious. The waitress was charming and helpful (searched for a word we did not understand zucchini), and the music just right. Highly recommend this gem.
