During the course of the night, they got 1 other table & a few take out orders. There were 2 people working the restaurant - the owner who was cooking & a kid who doubled as a waiter & dishwasher.

They gave us free turkish coffee. Bathrooms were hideous - men's room toilet didn't flush & the women's room toilet had the handle dangling from it. I would try it again only because the food was good & I really wanted to try the baklava. BYO!

For dinner, we ordered the beet and feta salad and open face lamb and chicken pita. Absolutely delicious! To end our meal, we shared the carrot cake with pecans and cranberries. The combination was out of this world. Looking forward to dining here again. Thank you for the great meal and service.

The salmon dish is truly delectable and I love the accompaniments of an arugula salad and the gigantes (large runner beans).

When faced with the decision for dessert, our server suggested the crepes that are on the. Brunch menu (as we were there on a Sunday). The crepes were à la mode and filled with a sublime vanilla crème and came with a bananas foster sauce which was rich and indulgent.

A quick Google search did not disappoint. I happened to be right across from a beautiful shopping center and spotted this stunning Greek restaurant. Mediterranean cuisine is my absolute favorite, so I was immediately excited. The only catch? I was cutting it close. They close at 9:00 PM on Thursdays, and I was just seven minutes away with about 30 minutes to spare. I decided to take my chances -- and I'm so glad I did. I sat at the bar and was warmly greeted by a very kind and welcoming bartender. I ordered two glasses of Pinot Grigio and an incredible platter with hummus, chicken skewers, olives, and sliced meats. The platter looked intimidating in the photo, but it's absolutely manageable for one person -- just be warned, the pita bread will fill you up quickly! Even though I felt a little guilty arriving close to closing and staying a bit past 9 to finish, the staff never made me feel rushed. If I hadn't felt bad about the timing, I absolutely would have ordered dessert -- and probably an espresso martini to top it off. Now I know for next time I'm back on the West Coast. The restaurant itself is beautifully designed with a classy, upscale feel -- even though I showed up looking like I had just survived a road trip (because I had). There's only so much glamour you can maintain after three hours in the car. I highly recommend coming here for dinner and then walking around the shopping area afterward. It's exactly my kind of shopping destination -- you truly have everything you could think of in one place. I just wish we had something like this closer to home.
