| - We have been here several times for lunch and dinner, and each time was a very good experience. Last night we stopped for dinner. We started with the grilled Halloumi, a firm and slightly salty sheep cheese. It was served with pita wedges and tomato slices, all seasoned with oregano and olive oil. It was delicious, the cheese really was grilled and held up well. They have an entree with Halloumi and mushrooms, I plan to try it next time we are there. For entrees that night I had a special, grilled Mahi Mahi, and my wife had the lentil salad. Both were good sized proportions but not overwhelming. My wife was very happy with the salad. My fish was slightly overcooked, not surprising but disappointing. It was acceptable, though, and I really liked the garlic & olives seasoning.
(An aside -- why is it that no one in AZ can properly cook fish? You'd think that since we have to use mediocre fish here to begin with, being a desert and all, that everyone would try extra hard to get it exactly right. Sadly, that rarely ever happens, and never twice at the same restaurant. But I keep ordering and hoping... )
On the other hand, the chocolate chip cheesecake we had for desert was incredible. It was light in texture but still full of flavor. I know it was extra good because my wife kept trying to claim my half.
The staff is always very friendly and helpful in making choices. It's not a big place so if you get there about 6 or later you may have a short wait. But it's worth it.
