We needed a restaurant near 40th street and this seemed like a good choice. We were not disappointed; exceeded our expectations. Food came out quickly and was well prepared…. Enjoyed it and we will be back!

Salmon could have been less salty, but it was well cooked. Baklava was dry and tasteless.. Tuna Tartar was not the best. Brussels Sprouts, Vericots verts and beets were good. My daughter enjoyed her steak. The drinks were yummy.. Our server was lovely and attentive.. All in all, we had a good time..

Our host who also was our server was not pleasant, upon arrival, did not offer any suggestions for the menu and was not attentive to us while sitting and we were the only guest inside at the time. The oysters came out were not satisfactory and when we sent back the server had an attitude. We paid for drinks and left due to poor service.
