Stylish Eastern Mediterranean spot with creative mezze and a beloved brunch; strong food and cocktails but pricing, portion size, occasional host issues, early kitchen cutoffs, and rare safety complaints warrant caution.

However, inconsistent dish execution and isolated but serious food safety reports prevent a higher grade, while dinner pricing feels steep relative to portions. The creative Eastern Mediterranean approach and praised brunch buffet make it worth visiting for the right occasion.
One caveat: Dinner portions can feel small relative to price; group prix fixe drew portion complaints
