We went here for our eighth anniversary and it did NOT disappoint. The service from Aiden, our server, was fantastic, but we also got excellent tips from the woman who sat us at the beginning. The food comes out as it is ready, and we thoroughly enjoyed ordering extra pita just so we could keep eating and enjoying the dips we had as our appetizer. My husband had the lamb kebab and we split the sea bass entree, but the cocktails were OUTSTANDING. We of course ordered a phenomenal dessert (caramel tart!) and received a complimentary glass of ginger ale for our anniversary to go with it (we had told them we didn’t want more alcohol since we were driving). The atmosphere was lovely, and the food made it utterly delightful. We can’t wait to go back!

The food was amazing, and the service was excellent. I didn’t get our servers name, but he really helped to make it a special evening. It was a birthday celebration, and once he learned that, he delivered on making it a special experience. He was even so thoughtful as to slyly ask me if the guest of honor drank alcohol (none of us has ordered any so that probably tipped him off to double check), and at the end of the meal brought us delicious Pomegranate mocktails to cheers with as a surprise treat! And an amazing desert (Dulce de Leche cheesecake)! We had an infant with us, and they were also very accommodating with that as well. 10/10 service from him and the rest of the staff, overall. The staff also worked together to make sure our waters were always full, plates/utensils replaced when needed, and not in an overly hovering way that some places do. The food was excellent, I loved the schnitzel, and my family enjoyed the braised salmon, lamb kebobs, salmon kabobs, garlic broccoli, and the Saladin dip sampler (possibly the best part - the pita served with the dips/salads is so good). Only cons: the main meals did come out at quite various different times, such as the chicken schnitzel coming out 5+ minutes before the next persons meal arrived, and longer before the last guests dish arrived. I assumed they just bring them out when they’re ready, instead of serving the table all at once, and not served at the same time. This wasn’t a big deal, just somewhat unusual. Luckily it was family, so no need to wait until everyone’s been served!! To be fair, I’d rather my food not sit under a heat lamp for a long time as the other dishes are being finished Overall, we all really enjoyed the meal, the excellent, personalized service, and ambiance. Will be going back!
