   as great as is the food, and as beautiful the room, the SERVICE blows it out of the park. Each person, regardless of their position, could not have been more wonderful. Definitely a perk each time I visit this special place.

   It's a lovely restaurant and staff was top notch. My disappointment was we went for North Shore Restaurant month with a prix fixe menu. When compared to their regular menu, most of the choices were the same price or some $2-$3 less. To me, that seemed like not in the spirit of restaurant week. I ordered the cauliflower kebab. And that's all I got, 3 big pieces of cauliflower with a tiny bit of onion in between. I like cauliflower but I expected something more interesting. They did offer rice or brussel spouts, which was nice. I chose the brussel sprouts. They were deep fried to blackish & I don't recommend. I will say my companion enjoyed her choices & other diners meals looked good too. I would not recommend going for Restaurant Month, the cauliflower kebab or brussel sprouts but give it a try and order something else.

   Great Mediterranean restaurant. Everything is served mezza style on small plates. Spicy hummus, fried broccoli and sweet potato latkes to start. The broccoli was a little oily, the hummus was perfect accompanied by toasted pita and my favorite was the latkes which were served with a flavorful sauce. For the main course we shared shrimp and salmon kabobs. The salmon was flaky and moist, so good! My wife had Giuliana Prosecco. I started with Prosecco, migrated to Donati Cabernet and finished with coffee. We shared sticky date cake and frozen Greek yogurt for dessert. I’m not a fan of the whang from the yogurt but it’s part of it. My wife threatened to lick the plate she loved it so much. Service from everyone was impeccable, everyone was friendly and fast to respond.

   Our food way crazy salty. The waiter was odd and didn’t take everyone’s drink order when we sat down. We were seated 20-30 min after our reservation

    Bottom line: overpriced middle eastern "tapas". The whole menu is meant to be shared so if you don't like sharing your food, I don't recommend it. You will get a little plate that all dishes come with serving spoons and your expected to share. Our old fashioned was too sweet for our liking and pricey ($26). You're basically getting downtown prices for the suburbs. We also thought it was strange that our waiter scheduled our food to come out at specific times. If you're Middle Eastern, you won't be impressed.
