    The extensive menu was full of delicious choices. Our favorites were the artichoke fritters, butternut squash bruschetta, and chicken Batseeya. The staff, especially our waitress (M?), had wonderful recommendations and was friendly and attentive. The intimate ambience, semi-private dining areas, and candlelit tables were especially inviting. I would recommend for a date night or catching up with a good friend.
