    My partner and I have always wanted to try this place and decided to just send it and come here on a random Wednesday night. And it was AMAZING. The ambiance was SO aesthetic and immersive. Our server, Arian, and his server assistant Abr, took such good care of us. Even the staff besides Arian and Abr paid us attention - they would suddenly appear and take the wine out of our hands if we attempted to pour it ourselves. Arian's wine recommendation paired well with both our entrees and he timed the coursing of the meal perfectly. The food was delicious!!!! Especially the baba ghanoush. We were also blown away by the Vanilla Creme Brûlée. We weren't even speaking while eating it, just looking at each other, nodding our heads, and pointing back at the little dessert. It was such a beautiful experience.

    The restaurant is beautiful and the brunch menu food ranged from really excellent eggs benedict and a solid burger to a mediocre breaded chicken entree and very small lobster rolls that should be an appetizer. The service was terrific with friendly, helpful staff. We had a personal visit with the manager. I'd go back and have something different than the lobster rolls next time. It's a good place for a business lunch.
