We had a great time! DJ was awesome - played songs that are a vibe but didn’t want to make me get up and dance in the middle of restaurant. Food was fresh and and portion was great for pricing. Wish the service was a little more attentive when it came to another round of drinks and check.

Our Christmas dinner was a delightful surprise. The restaurant served their regular menu, and every dish was a culinary triumph. We started with a flavorful lamb soup and a refreshing kale and pumpkin salad. The highlight was the shrimp bake—a generous portion of succulent shrimp and mushrooms, minimally breaded, which was a pleasant departure from expectations. The lamb shank was tender and satisfying, though a bit understated in terms of seasoning. However, it was still delicious. For dessert, we indulged in baklava, a new experience for us. It was rich, sweet, and absolutely delicious. We can't wait to return and savor these dishes again.
