You gotta get a pitcher of the St. Germaine-based Elderflower White Sangria . It is delicious, refreshing, and it is surprisingly potent!

A must before going to the greek! Great patio , yummy wine , hummus is xcellent, the pizza pita they serve w kaboob dinner should be an appetizer w hummus . So good. And they are dog friendly !!!

James Alexander

Really want to like this place, with its great terrace and alluring exterior. I just haven't had a great meal here yet.

The Chicken Kebab is my favorite kebab , and the risotto was surprisingly creamy. Espresso Martini is a must. Banana chocolate mousse was okay. Love this place!

Eddie Ota

I had the beef kebab plate and it was delicious. ????

This building once housed Cap’n Cork liquor store . It is referenced in Beck’s “Que Onda Guero” as being where the new Yanni cassette can be purchased. Cap’n Cork relocated south across Prospect.

Cute patio and good for a stop before going to the Greek theater - but bring a fly swatter as the flies here are very entitled.

Matt Mayo

Mostly patio ! There’s a vegan menu and great for bringing your dog.

Dirty vodka martini - extra dirty - done right. Garlic Daiya fries are perfect.

The owner seems like a tool

Babette Pepaj

Don't order the vegan pizza . It's terrible. Do order the tofu salad . If you want to send something back they still charge you even if waitress suggested menu item.
