    I chose to dine here for my 21st birthday and from entering the door to leaving, we received exceptional service from everyone there. I received a lot of compliments and I got a complimentary glass of wine and also a cute little birthday treat. The food and drinks were amazing too. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to any and everyone. 10 out of 10. I’ll be back soon.

    We went all in for the chef's tasting menu with wine pairing. It was excellent. Our waiter was charming and available. It is a loud, vibrant space. I wish it was a little less loud and a little more intimate but that is of course prefernce. The support staff is everywhere, dropping off and picking up plates, filling water, replenishing bread. Only once did they mistime pick-up to remove a plate before we were done. Particular favourites included the cretan dakos salad, hommus, garides saganaki, saffron pilaf, steak mishwi, and lemony potatoes. Tapas can be tough if you're not sure what to get. The tasting menu was great. After a full day of being very thoughtful and on our feet at a couple museums, we only had to be mindful when enjoying each plate, not choosing it.
