Definitely a step above a typical shawarma / gyro place with a full menu of Mediterranean dishes. It is also weirdly enough a local watering hole with an extensive beer and cocktail menu and a lot of folks hanging out and playing pull tabs. I would recommend making a family style meal of the many small plates available so that you can try a little bit of everything. If you are already familiar with the mezza table, the food is solid and a fairly basic representation of the cuisine. There are certainly more authentic/gourmet places to eat, but probably not at anywhere near the very modest price point of this establishment. For two of us with a drink each and a sampler platter to split (which was perfect for two modest appetites) we walked away for 40 bucks, which is hard to do for a sit-down meal these days. . The atmosphere is a bar, and not particularly romantic or a great place for a quiet conversation. It is a good place to get together with a bunch of people.
