    Everyone was friendly, but we had to call someone over every time we needed more water or anything. The restaurant was not busy at all when we were there. The music was too loud (it was before noon), as well. Although our food was decent, none of us felt it was worth the price (I live in NYC & am used to the city’s pricing). Ultimately, we were given a free dessert, but it was too little, too late. Overall, we were rather disappointed.

    Decor was modern and fresh. Service was very friendly and helpful. The menu had a large variety. Each of the dishes we had, delightfully surprised us by their version. Food was plentiful and well priced. What more could you ask for. We will probably stop by again before leaving town in a couple of days.

    Service was good, food was normal. There was no heating and it was very cold. I ate with my jaket on. I think too much overpriced.

    Our group of 6 went in for a late lunch/early dinner. The place is beautiful. The staff was super friendly. The food was beautiful and tasted great! Drink prices were just a little higher than we expected, even for sparkling water. Still a wonderful experience. Would recommend!

    Really just so unsatisfying. It was my wife’s birthday and we left before desert. Service was awful. Food was rushed and even cold.

    Excellent service and great experience. The food was "Mediterranean" which included both Turkish and Greek and was a little different from the typical; Greek only experience.
