Had a really nice dinner with friends here! The food was really good and I especially liked the flavor profile of the calamari. (We ate it so fast that’s why I didn’t have a chance to even take a picture of it lol). Service was good too! The waiter made sure non of us had any allergies or dietary restrictions and offered some good recommendations from the menu. The atmosphere was nice and the restaurant had good decor. It wasn’t too loud and we were able to enjoy a conversation. If you’re in the area and like Greek/Mediterranean food, stop in and give this place a try! - Andrew Partem
