Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Food is top notch. We ordered beet salad, red snapper, and moussaka. So fresh and excellent taste. Highly recommend this restaurant.
The food was amazing! Everything we ordered, from appetizers to dessert, was full of flavor. The appetizers - calamari with its two tasty sauces and the mussels were delicious. The entrees - including the fish of the day with red snapper, lamb rack, salmon with a potato base, and stuffed chicken, were outstanding, and the desserts — creme brulee and chocolate cake were the perfect finish. In my opinion, the red snapper and the lamb were the best. It was honestly some of the tastiest food I have ever had. Its a bit far for us, but I have been there twice in the past couple of months, and both times I absolutely loved the food! The service was quick both times too.

Don't let this places location throw you off. It's a bit odd being next to a convenience store but the food is excellent. I think the menu has plenty of great options. I took my family here for graduation and everyone was so pleased with their food which made me very happy. I recommend this place for any special event with family as the atmosphere is great. Huge huge plus is they are very accommodating for people with allergies. They accommodated special drink requests for my family members and I can't say how thankful I am that they did. I think we enjoyed our stay so much we actually closed the place that night and stayed outside even after employees walked out to go home. NOTE: I was not so in love with the food or service when I came earlier this year for Valentine's Day but that is to be expected it was incredibly packed and service was clearly overwhelmed. Please go here any other time. This does not affect the review because most places on abbreviated menus are not as good as during regular service.
