Sitting inside is boring the outside area looks much more appealing.

This was our second visit, and while the food was excellent, the service was satisfactory, and the atmosphere was lovely, we had a disappointing experience. After 85 minutes at our table, we were asked to leave because they needed it for the next group. We were literally just 3 minutes away from signing the check. It was our server who delivered this message, not a manager, and they didn't even offer to let us have a drink at the bar. What started as a wonderful evening quickly turned into a feeling of being disrespected. With this negative experience in mind, I’m not sure we’ll return.

I had rack of lamb which was prepared perfectly and my companion had seafood risotto which was absolutely bursting with flavor. I recommend making a reservation. We went on a Monday evening and tables filled quickly. Highly recommended!

We didn't have a reservation, but we were still treated like royalty. We sat at a table in the bar, and it was very nice. It was a little loud, but I almost expect Mediterranean places to be lively anyway so it didn't bother us at all. The food wasexquisite and the drinks were very delectable! I will make a reservation next time (and there will be a next time) for sure!

The outdoor dining area was booked so we sat inside but the AC was so cool it was a bit uncomfortable if you didn't have a jacket. I had the Pear salad and had asked ifI could add crumbled gorgonzola cheese to it and there was barely any cheese. I ordered the Lobster and Shrimp Alla Vodka andthe flavor was good, but there were super tiny shreds of lobster (no chunks or claws) that I had to search for because I thoughtI didn't get the right dish that I ordered, only the shrimp were visible. Service was quick. This place has a great menu and Iwas looking for more upscale options but was a little disappointed in the presentation and barely getting any lobster in myentree. If it's warm weather, sit outside and enjoy the ambiance.
