Among other delicious dishes we had this amazing mozzarella starter that melted like butter in our mouth, a perfectly cooked and flavored sea bass main and two different salads that were noteworthy. Desserts were special too. Speaking of butter, that was amazing too. We highly recommend!

He tried one of the desserts which he really likes. He is Turkish and he grew up on muhsllebi so for him, it was perfect. If I would have eaten something I would have been disappointment because I am more of a cake girl with some creamy thing on top which it doesn't appear that they have at this location. It's mostly all pudding style desserts, the colored cake like layer cake are crumbs, and not like a firm cake that you can cut through. The service was nice. The waiter was very kind and the manager was very helpful in deciding. It's nice to sit by the window and watch the passersby. It was comfortable seating, although the table height and chairs are a little bit off.
