Ordered lamb risotto. They served me ground beef in risotto. I’m not sure if it was the owner or manager but they were *horrible* when I asked for the situation to be resolved. It didn’t get resolved, unfortunately. Will never go back here. Wish I didn’t have to write this review but it would be unfair to other potential customers not to say something.
We ordered two scrambled eggs. 45 min later, still waiting. We asked how much longer it was going to take. It was monday lunch and the place wasn't busy at all. Waiter told me 2min. After 5min we left.
I went there for the first time. The food is really good and I ordered a chicken plate but I found someone’s HAIR in my plate while eating. Also, the waitress seem to NOT have any training so the service was a bit off.
Definitely not coming back after finding a hair in my food.

Strictly speaking, It is not a mediterranean restaurant. They have meals from various cousins. We tried shrimp risotto, chicken in vodka sauce an mediterranean pasta. All tree were good, the risotto was the best.
We also liked a laid back atmosphere, nobody was pushing us to leave the place after we finished meals, we could enjoy outside siting while sipping our drinks

Great food! The restaurant have a nice inside atmosphere and great option to eat outside in the sidewalk. I ordered a shrimp risoto and my girlfriend a chicken pasta, both were perfect. The attendants was great!
My friend introduced me to this restaurant. The service is great; the owner is very kind. The food is reasonable priced. I got the scallop risotto and there are many good pieces of seared scallop. The risotto is bold and rich. I am surprised that I can adjust the spicy level too. Another great dish I have is hummus topped with, I believe, grounded lamb. In summary: generous portion, bold and rich flavor, and good people :)
Not sure why this place isn’t always completely full with a line down the block. The beef/lamb stew is FIVE STARS especially on a chilly evening. Inside is cozy with a fireplace 🔥🔥 and open kitchen. Outdoor seating when the weather is nice. And a lovely jalapeño margarita…love this place!
Mostly a great experience. We could have used a bit more attention after we received our meal. I did ask for mild meatballs, they weren't very tasty.
