    We were celebrating my daughter’s birthday. This was our first dining experience here. The ambience was beautiful. The dining room was pretty full and was being attended to by one server. Although, he was doing his best. We were left with empty drink glasses. He apologized and let know he was responsible for the entire section. The food was very flavorful but the portions were small. We enjoyed the birthday acknowledgment but I expected more for the price.

    Everything about this restaurant was perfect. The service, the atmosphere, the entertainment (fire dancing the night we went), the food and the cleanliness. It was our first time but it definitely won’t be our last.

    The food and service were good. The music was extremely loud could not communicate with my date. The tables were so close to each other. It felt like we were part of another party sitting next to us every time one gentleman would adjust he would hit our table with his hand or something. Felt like they were just trying to squeeze in some extra tables made the whole entire evening uncomfortable.

    When we walked in you felt like you were in Vegas or something. Very pretty. Set up uniquely and we enjoyed it. They had a girl performing with fire. That was pretty cool. The food was wonderful. The only thing that was not so good is the service. Our waiter was super nice and informative but took forever to refill drinks and get our check at the end. Other than that a great place.

    Food extremely interesting and extremely tasty with great flavors. Decor very unique annd lovely, unlike anything else in town. Having a female fire-juggler (and more) for entertainment was an interesting touch. Server, Kelsie was great.

    All the mezze plates are really delicious. Seafood cooked to perfection as well as the steak entrees. Service is professional and courteous. Great date night or family & friends get together spot. Plenty of room to accommodate. Lovely decor and atomosphere.

    Steak was undercooked twice. I usually don’t send food back but it was bleeding. Had great scenery. Loved the bathroom design. Waiter kept dripping water every time he poured. But he recommended a hummus mix which was super delicious!

    We had a Teal Deal for this place otherwise I would have never known it existed. It’s tucked back behind Maa Kitchen off Baymeadows. This is such an amazing place. It feels very sophisticated but also welcoming. We enjoyed several shareables and each dish was delicious. There was a fire breather for entertainment and several birthdays that night. They bring cold sparklers to the table. It’s not an everyday dining restaurant but we are definitely returning for our next celebration.
