The service was on point! I drink a lot of water. Never did my glass become empty! We ordered hummus as an appetizer. The sourdough pita that went with it was delicious! The servers noticed we had half of the hummus left and no pita bread. They gave us two servings of pita bread for free. Aside from a latte and an old fashioned, we ordered the hummus with pita bread, spinach and linguine vongole. We will come back just for the hummus and pita. The spinach was average. The vongole was a good serving, lots of clams and the right amount of salt, garlic and spice. Overall, it was a great dining experience. Shout out to the service staff who kept filling up my glass and that sourdough pita bread!

We were very disappointed in our server who was inattentive and indifferent. I must note that the assistant server was very good. We were here from out of town two years ago and had an entirely different experience. It is unlikely we will ever return.

The menu looked amazing. We ordered the four dips for $54. They came on four small plates. I felt ripped off. The spicy feta was delicious, but the others all tasted too sweet. The kale salad was tasty, though overdressed. The salmon carpaccio was good, too. Between the dips, salad, carpaccio and an American coffee (no drinks), the bill came to $115 without the tip.

Go to venue when visiting NYC and need a place to bring family and friends to dinner. Great options of various Mediterranean-based foods, including nice drink and wine options and plenty of choices for vegetarians. Love the neighborhood, the staff if highly knowledgeable and aim to please. We have visited had consistently great experiences there over the last 5 or 10 years and don't remember ever being disappointed.

i had booked this restaurant because my daughter was coming in from rhode island. they asked for comments so i told them about our allergies and that we needed a booth or banquette for my bad back. they confirmed the reservation and contacted me several times to confirm to make sure we would be dining with them. we arrived and the restaurant was basically wide open with one other diner seated. it was a 6 pm reservation. when we arrived they showed us to a table with wooden chairs. i said i needed a banquette and the y said no and got the manager, who said he couldn’t give two two tops with a banquette because he was too busy. i explained my situation and told him i couldn’t sit in those chairs. i said i couldn’t keep my reservation with those seats and they basically told me to go. with all of the times they contacted me to see if we were keeping the reservation, they certainly could have told me the banquette was NOT possible. i would never recommend this restaurant to anyone as their behavior and thoughtfulness was APPALLING!!! there are so many other wonderful places to frequent but this was not one of them.
