No reservation necessary. Visited friends over dinner, at the upscale Mediterranean eatery. The decor inline with muted color tones, set a relaxing and welcoming ambiance. A sizable menu selection of palette pleasing fare, coupled with abundant selection of wines and cocktails lends itself to a comfortable "no rush" dinning experience. The staff are extremely welcoming and knowledgeable in what is on and off the menu. Flavors are exciting and plentiful. Pricing follows the current markets with offerings in regard to availability and freshness of ingredients. Something for nearly everyone in your party with gluten free offerings. Portions are fair and modest. Highly recommended eatery for the foodie in your life. Live music also had, with pianist. Be prepared to wait just enough, between seating, drink orders, appetizers, entree order and desserts. This is not a quick in and out establishment. Arrive hungry, enjoy yourself and leave happily satisfied. This is a dinning experience.

The restaurant is beautiful & has great potential. The Greek appetizers we had were quite good, well prepared & tasty. Good job!! However the menu described lovely main meals which the kitchen didn't deliver on. My meal was described as Jumbo Shrimp & Sea Scallops. I got small shrimp & tiny Bay Scallops. Sorry... I know seafood. My wife's Alfredo pasta was overcooked, bland with very few vegetables. She knows this pasta dish. The menu description for these meals was simply inaccurate. The menu needs Reviewed & rewritten.

If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would. Very elegant. Very nice staff and the food was amazing. This is a fine dinning establishment but the prices were very affordable. Such a beautiful atmosphere. My new favorite place to eat! Had the best steak I've ever had there. (I had steak and lobster and the ms had a almond encrusted halibut.)

First time here. The atmosphere is impressive - lovely. A wonderful surprise was the piano player playing throughout the evening at the baby grand piano - classy. Linen cloths and napkins, beautiful drapes, chandelier & decor. Definitely a hot "date place". Food quality, flavor/prep and portions excellent. We had the Lobster Cardinal - Lobster tail was large, scallops done perfect, shrimp nice size; Stuffed Chicken Alfredo Pizza was unusual, yummy and huge - a hit. Moussaka delightful. Birthday cannoli a special complimentary treat. Is is pricey however. Any substitutions were surcharged which felt like nickel and diming. Onion and house soup bowls were barely half full. The 4 star rating given is due to the service/server being poor. Perfunctory. No recommendations were made, no welcoming smile or conversation, no appreciation for us being there - everything seemed like an effort. Very disappointing. Overall a special occasion place with lovely food.
