This restaurant offers a great menu of choices. The dishes taste incredible and are so fresh and flavour some. The team are friendly and attentive. However, for the restaurant is quite noisy so if having a business meeting, it may not be an ideal location. The Lebanese wine, was not great in my opinion.

A real scene -- lots of people and lots going on. We had the tasting menu with excellent wine pairings. I liked the appetizers best. Service was good, but noticed that some servers gave more detailed advice. We were already informed about the dishes so we were clear on what to order.

This restaurant is ideal for trying many different small plates. Authentic mediterranean flavor. We were impressed with all the ones we ordered. We choose the Htipiti, the cheese table, the Charred Eggplant Pide and the Lamb Kleftico. For dessert, the Turkish Coffee Chocolate Cake. Great value for the food quality and service.

We had a reservation at 8:30pm on a Thursday. When we arrived, we were surprised to see the restaurant full and bustling with people. We were pleasantly surprised that our wait for the table was barely 5-7 minutes!
However, we saw a spot open at the bar and opted for that, which was great. The bartender, even though very busy, was very attentive and friendly, which made it easy for us to order our dishes 1-2 at a time. No pressure, unlike many other city restaurants, to place full order at one time.

We had the octopus, Turkish pastrami, shish tauck and the lamb baharaat. Portions are sufficient to share between 2 and this was perfect for us. All amazingly cooked and served with Jose Andres signature touches to intermingle flavors using exotic Mediterranean and Arabic spices. I would always encourage to order family style so you get to try more of the menu. There was so much more we would have ordered if we were in a bigger group - next time!
