| - I gave 5 stars based on the food alone. I would give the service 4 stars.
I called about 4 days in advance to make reservations for my birthday lunch with 5 of my girlfriends for 3pm on a Saturday. I was told over the phone before the guy hung up "parking is on the side of the building and we prefer cash." Kind of weird IMO about the cash thing but I knew from reading previous reviews. The day of the reservation I called a few hours prior to see if I could add 2 more to the table, I was told "umm, yeah we should be able to do that." When we showed up at 3pm, there was not a single person in the restaurant, which was good because 8 girlfriends who haven't seen each other in a while sharing 8 bottles of wine can get a little rowdy. Our waitress was friendly and patient and took good care of us. Between the group, we had the tuna gyro, fresh cut fries, chicken sandwich w/ awesome sauce, fried gnocchi, Mediterranean salad, scallop pasta and the soup of the day (a broth based bean and sausage soup) and every single one of us licked our plates clean. The food at this place is EXCELLENT. It would be a fun little spot to go on a date and it was perfect for a late lunch for my group.
After lunch was winding down, the head chef came out to see how everything tasted. He was extremely friendly and personable and stayed for a minute to talk to us about his previous restaurants, the menu and his wife, All in all - a good experience. I would suggest reservations if you think of it, though, because I can see it getting bit tight and crowded at more peak times.
