    Food was very good. I will go back. Ambiance was good. Could not see the belly dancers from where I sat, not sure what they added to the atmosphere. Good value.

    The lamb shank in a mushroom wine sauce was fork tender & the moussaka was perfect! Sticky toffee pudding was a winner! Service by Alex was great!

    One of our favorite restaurants. We were worried about them following the hurricanes but they’ve come back strong and as good as ever! The patio and outdoors have more tables, it’s all been rebuilt and repainted with the same look and charm. The food is on the pricey end but so fresh and delicious. The staff is great as always. Remember to support all of the local businesses that suffered so much loss and devastation.

    The food was excellent and the waiters were friendly and helpful. However, they were seriously understaffed and that caused several problems with the service. Just one of the problems was that after waiting 25-30 minutes for dessert, the waiter told us he had forgotten it. And it was difficult to get anyone’s attention.
