Nestled in a competitive dining scene, this restaurant struggles to make a positive impression. Diners report that both the food and service fall short, with mediocre dishes and a rude manager overshadowing the experience. Even a simple reservation turned into a disappointment when the restaurant was unexpectedly closed, leaving guests frustrated and hungry. While a few small plates received praise—particularly the cocktails and summer salad—the overall consensus is that diners left unsatisfied, feeling that their time and money could be better spent at other local culinary gems. The potential for a great experience remains sadly unfulfilled.

The food was mediocre. The manager present at the restaurant when we were there was extremely rude. We were the only table of customers in the restaurant for most of the time we were there and they still had a hard time getting it right. All of us live/work in the vicinity and were excited about this place but based on how we were treated and the overall experience we all decided we wouldn’t be returning and that we’d not recommend it to our friends/colleagues. There are too many awesome restaurants in the area to waste your time.

We ordered a few things, one item was the Mezzo plate for there was less than a tablespoon of hummus smeared on the slate. It was just underwhelming . We ordered other things, and everything tasted fine. Don't say something is for people if everyone cannot taste something as simple and inexpensive and basic on your mediterranean menu. It felt like a lot of money was spent on food and nobody was satisfied at the end of the meal. Cocktails were great, food was just okay and don't go here if you're actually hungry.

Our waitress was fantastic. Tapas were fun to share.

I made a reservation for a table on the 26th, but when we arrived at the restaurant, it was closed! We tried to contact the restaurant, but the phone number was incorrect.

The food was average at best. The restaurant manager was incredibly impolite during our visit. Despite being the only customers in the restaurant for the majority of our time there, the service was still lacking. All six of us who live and work nearby were excited to try this place, but after our experience, we have all agreed that we will not be returning and will not be recommending it to others. There are plenty of other fantastic restaurants in the area worth trying instead.
