I am not sure why I never stopped here before but kicking myself that I haven't.
The food is super good and the service was warm and attentive. We felt like welcome guests and there was a nice balance of being friendly without being overly intrusive.
We started with some vegetable soup (can't remember the name). There was some special seasoning that made it much better than the bland vegetable soup .
I had the vegetarian platter and the server asked if I wanted to substitute anything. That was a first for me. Oh yes got more Stuffed Grape leaves (excellent). The hummus was smooth and not over oily or garlicky (problem with many restaurants). My date had a grilled meat platter and loved it and he's picky about food. He even liked the lamb which he doesn't usually care for.
It's a casual setting and large portions - though I still ate my entire serving.
The restaurant has been added to one of my favorites. .
