Phenomenal flavors, textures, presentation, and great recommendations from staff. Drinks were lovely too. The sweet potatoes blew my mind!! Worth the expense for how delicately and exquisitely the dishes were prepared.
May give left pec to eat this fresh inventive food again. Service was impeccable. Obviously tasted the fresh high quality ingredients, love and artistry in everything we tried. Nearly shed tears to have falafel that did not taste like rough ground garbanzo. It has been a while since I had a decent falafel. Soo skillfully seasoned and cooked to perfection. The lamb I would have gone cave person if there was nobody around...nom nom nom. Drinks were refreshing... Was worried because we were dressed for housecleaning not public, they were very nice about it and server didn't treat us like we did not belong even though we were very funky and did not have time to change. At the time we needed vaxx card. I actually do not mind because it means staff and patrons are a little safer. All over great experience..kudos. Features: They were asking for vaxx card on day we went. Not sure after some masking etc has been recently lifted.
We went here for a birthday celebration and the experience greatly exceeded our expectations! The sumac spiced confit chicken leg, kale salad, and house made labneh were our favorites from the night. We’ve had a lot of Mediterranean food before and this place is definitely at the top of the list. Such wonderful, unique flavors, and the pita bread is fluffy and delicious. We weren’t able to make a reservation online ahead of time, so showed up around 4:45 pm on a Saturday to get on the waitlist for bar seating. We were told it would be about an hour wait, but our seats were ready within 15 minutes. The service at the bar was friendly, quick, and attentive. Our food started showed up within 10 minutes of ordering and our plates were cleared promptly after finishing each dish. Reading other reviews, promptly clearing the dishes could have been viewed as rushing one out, but we didn’t mind it and frankly preferred it since the table space at the bar was limited. We’ll definitely be back an
