    What a WONDERFUL surprise! We had been advised by a manager at Molly Woos to try this restaurant and to be sure to ask for a table on the upper level. We did just that and WOW how awesome of an evening we spent on our 47th anniversary. The atmosphere was outstanding! The view of beautiful Easton with all the Holiday lights shining was such a beautiful site. Our seating, the staff, the food were all outstanding. Our waitress recommended the BABA GHANOUSH which was homemade as was the pitas that came with it. Next we each had a starter. My husband ordered the Charred Octopus which he enjoyed and I had the Golden Beet Salad which was one of the best I ever had and I have tried many. For our entree we shared the Open Fire Roasted Shellfish Platter in the small size which was plenty since we had the appetizer and starters. Best of all was the staff and especially our waitress. From the moment we walked in everyone knew it was our anniversary and mentioned it. They knew this from the note that I added on Open Table but never has this been acknowledged so nicely as at this restaurant. This new dining option we have at Easton is a DEFINITE must try! We cannot wait to return :)

    We went to Alqueria for a date night and had a lovely dinner! A cool, unique space with great food. The menu changes often- we had a few appetizers (bread & seasonal butter, shrimp, and sweet potatoes) that were great, and a couple entrees (a broccoli & cauliflower dish that was a little pricey for vegetables, but was delicious, and a sweet potato/spinach gnocchi and duck confit dish). Overall, loved it and will be back!
