This place has been around for a long time and I've been eating here since the 90s. It's a diamond in the rough, the building and neighborhood don't do the food justice. It's a family restaurant that's been handed down, and I have never been in there and not seen the owner. He cares about his customers and his food, and he's fun to chat with. They have a great selection of wines and beers, and there are always lots of specials. This is a great place to take a date (or the wife for date night). The atmosphere inside is intimate and welcoming. If you ask the waiter or owner what's good tonight, you get an honest answer, and I like that. I often go with their recommendations. Now, this may not sound good at first... but they have a desert called a Baklava Cheesecake. It's cheesecake with baklava on top. You'd think that would be too sweet, but it's not and it's great, one of my favorite deserts anywhere. If you're looking for upscale Mediterranean dining in a friendly and intimate atmosphere, you can't go wrong with this place.
