| - Visiting my sister in Phoenix we went here after 13 hours of sitting in a car and we couldn't have asked for a better decompression meal.
Started with some app's. Falafel on a big bed of fresh butter lettuce, onions, pickles, olives and tomato. Tasty, but the falafel's were i little small for the size of the bed of lettuce. Baba Ghanoush was excellent. Pure eggplant flavor with a dash of spice for a perfect dish. But the best was the Spanakopita! Perfect layers of delicately sauteed spinach, crumbled feta and crispy crunchy filo. The burst of herbaceous flavor and creamy decadent cheese was balanced and delicious.
For entrees, I had the Sirloin and Humus. Decadent diced pieces of sirloin steak pan seared and tossed with pine nut's over humus. DELICIOUS! The steak was cooked and rested perfectly and was complemented nicely by the earthy tones of the pine nut's and the slightly tangy woody notes of the humus. My wife had the Broiled Chicken Salad. Tender juicy chunks of chicken over a huge bed of lettuce, tomatoes and cumbers topped with zesty refreshing lemon vinaigrette. Everything was fresh, crisp and delicious.
As for the personality of the restaurant, our server ( I believe her name was Lauren) was very nice, not pushy but helpful and was really on top her game. No glasses were ever more than 1/3 empty and used dishes were whisked away within minutes of being placed aside. The restaurant was a little loud and the tables were a little close, but even those things were vastly overshadowed by the rest of the experience.
A great treat and one we hope we'll get to try again.
