This was my first time here, and I would definitely return. For appetizers we tried the 3-meze sampler (red pepper and eggplant "pockets"(?); assorted olives; spinach and feta "fingers"). I'd say this was just "ok". In addition, some of the sauces were surprisingly very spicy (a la Indian food), although this was not stated on menu. Other appetizer was a spinach salad with mango and slivered carrots. Not super tasty, but the spinach was extremely FRESH. For entrees, we got some type of a vegetable sampler (fennel, mushroom, carrot with cucumber, sweet potato with maple syrup, haricots verts, quinoa). The melange of flavors in this dish was EXCEPTIONAL, and one of the best meals I've EVER had! The other entree was like a terrine made of avocado, cucumber, and I think a type of cheese. Also QUITE good. Overall, the entrees we got far exceeded the appetizers. We did not get any dessert. Service was OK although the waitress did seem to forget about us once our meal was done, and we had to wait not only for the plates to be cleared, but again for her to take our credit card. But because our entrees were so good, I'd definitely return!
Pros: Entrees
Cons: appetizers (at least the ones we got weren't so good)
