Great food! I tried the skewers, feta and olives, and the casserole and they were all delicious. The inside of the restaurant was decorated nicely and was beautiful. The hostess and bussers were very friendly. I think our waiter was the only one taking orders that night because he seemed a little stressed and always in a rush, but he was good.

Food service is excellent. With a reservation, waiting is as expected. Menu has great choices from seafood to meats. 3 course menu for just about $50 is a great choice. Preference for me, blood orange King Salmon was excellent, cooked perfectly. Service is great! Creme Brulee is always good choice if you want dessert. Good place for big group or family dinner
