$$$$Price: Moderate • Mediterranean • Union Square
Warm and welcoming owners and space in a great location for Vineyard Theater and the area. Soft lighting, contemporary and comfortable chairs, classy bar, nicely spaced tables including half a dozen large hightops. Great drinks menu. The house Montepulciano (red) is among the best we've tasted. Happy Hour menu is extensive and well-priced, and portions of their Mediterranean fare are generous. Delicious baba ganoush, hummus, falafel, and lamb. We enjoyed it so much we returned after theater for light bites (assortment of three unusual and yummy bruschetta) and dessert. Never had a poached pear so large, and so delicious we ordered two! The larger part of the restaurant is undergoing renovations and that suited us fine. Highly recommend it!
