Have been mainly doing brunch lately when meeting up with friends, so wanted to try a good spot for dinner. I've always been a fan of Mediterranean food and when I saw this restaurant come up on a few new restaurants lists, I decided to give it a try.
Came here with 2 coworkers on a Tuesday after work - the restaurant is tugged in just north of King West on Duncan street. We were greeted and taken to our table on the upper level - the bottom level had very interesting design and the bar there seemed like a good spot for a drink.
Since I got some good news that day, we decided to order a bottle of wine (celebratory drinks) - a chilled Spanish white (even though I'm usually a red wine person, white seems more fitting for summer and Mediterranean cuisine), which was quite light and refreshing. We ordered a few things to share - marcona almonds (not your regular almonds, the spices had a good kick), labneh (which had a hint of goat cheese which is not my favourite, but still enjoyable) that came with babari bread (had to ask for extra, for no charge) for dipping, manti eggplant dumplings (my favourite dish of the night - full of flavour, just the right ratio between a thin dough and juicy filling), yogurt baked fluke (we had to ask what this was - quite yummy, but the portion was a bit small), and finally the mejadra basmati rice (the yogurt topping complimented the flavour of the rice and the palate of the other dishes we ordered).
While overall the menu is on the pricier side, the service was excellent (wait staff very knowledgeable and attentive) and the decor/ambiance on point. I would recommend this for a nice dinner out.
