Our waited continuously waited on the two tables on the opposite sides of us. We questioned whether he was our waiter. The restaurant was bot crowded. The food is subpar and we waited almost 45mins for entrees with an empty restaurant. I will not be returning.

The food was great, the drinks were well-made, and the service from River was excellent. After dinner, we spent hours in the downstairs lounge and bars, enjoying the music and atmosphere. Overall, a great experience.

We got the "little of everything " and had hummus, tzatziki, and the lefka and Melitzano. All were very good. We both had a cocktail, the baklava old fashioned which my friend LOVED and the peach of Poseidon which was also very good and not overly sweet. We enjoyed the beef/lamb kebab and that was plenty for the two of us. The music was not our favorite, but that's our only minor dislike. Great place, check it out!
