A brilliant, bustling eatery with a demure exterior. The menu is shared-plate tapas, big enough for 2 and takes 2-3 plates to be full. Wine choices are solid but the food is the star. Order it all!
Tried the lamb Sliders, Braised Short Rib, Steak, Shrimp, Gnocchi, and Ricotta w/ honey. Liked the Short Rib the Best. Lamb sliders were over seasoned for some. Loved the charred bread.
New menu started 3-13-13. New preparations for braised lamb, combined with the tagine on cous cous. Wow. New hanger steak also rocks. Fattoush is smaller and a little cheaper (but still feeds 4).
Bouillabaisse was absolutely excellent and universally the favorite of all at the table. However, it's also hard to beat the grilled octopus, so get that too!
Everything was incredible and came in under what a conventionalupscale restaurant would cost. Try the blended cabernet totally made in Ohio. the ricotta/honey is awesome. Sit at the bar.
Plates are big, the wine on tap and all flavors are forward on Dan Wright's Mediterranean-influenced menu, which adapts seasonally for a seasoned food crowd.
Fantastic combinations of tastes. The dates and the borek were absolutely amazing. The gnocchi was the lightest melt in your mouth. Tuna was the same. Awesome.
Everything is meticulously prepared. All small plates, so order two. Make one of them the Bouillabaisse. And the small Turkish coffee is plenty for two. As is the baclava. Yum.
The chorizo stuffed dates were amazing. The lamb shank was too. My wife loved her beat salad and the wine selection is outstanding. We look forward to going back.
