    Food was great as always but our server was terrible. He couldn't be found most of the time. We had to wait for him to come back so we could order something else during happy hour. We had to wait forever for him so we could get the check but he was quick to come get that money, fastest I saw him move all night. I wish I could remember his name.

    From the moment you step into this exquisite Mediterranean gem in the heart of Atlanta, you know you're in for something special. The ambiance is effortlessly elegant and sophisticated. The menu is a celebration of Mediterranean flavors, with each dish crafted to perfection. The grilled octopus, tender and charred just right, is a standout, and I ordered it chopped (as recommended by our server) - simply divine. What truly sets this restaurant apart even more is the impeccable service. Highly recommended for anyone seeking top-tier Mediterranean cuisine in a stunning setting.

    Fantastic! My husband and I went here for my birthday dinner and boy am I glad we did. Upon telling the hostess it was my birthday, the manager came out with an entire bottle of champagne on the house. Such a nice gesture! We shared a bunch of the small plates and every single thing was absolutely delicious. Needless to say the cocktails were delicious as well! Great experience, we would go here again and again. If you haven’t been yet, make a reservation immediately! 10/10
