   The concept of unlimited small plates for a fixed price worked wonderfully for us. There was such a variety of interesting and distinctive Balkan dishes that we wanted to try, so this dining concept was just right. The service was attentive and friendly, dishes arrived in a perfectly choreographed and timed parade of culinary delight. Particularly delicious were the roasted beet salad and spread, the lamb lasagne and six-hour baked lamb. There was a relatively inexpensive Sarajevo white wine that complemented the dishes with style and grace. I am pleased to be able to recommend this restaurant with utmost enthusiasm.

   We’ve been here multiple times and it was our brunch staple. They’ve recently increased prices, which are still reasonable, however multiple things we ordered never came, came out cold, or came very late.

   Such a fun Easter brunch! We sat at the bar, our bar tender was great, the whole experience was something new and different. The food was delicious and we had the bar tender just pick and order for us. The restaurant has a great, light, lively, vibe. We highly recommend the whole experience, you won't be sorry!

   Outstanding experience from start to finish. Came here with a group during Cherry Blossom festival. We sat on the rooftop which felt like being in a European/mediterranean charming village, beautifully decorated for the Cherry Blossom festival. The food was amazing, the flavors were on point. The staff were friendly and also on point, as soon as we were done one round, they had our next round ready. I highly recommend the unlimited small plates as you get to try most of the menu in one sitting, a unique experience. If you have a little more wiggle room, try desert, which was also very good. We will definitely be coming back.

    I was surprised at how tasty the food was given the great variety. I highly recommend the veal soup and the wild mushroom crepe.
