    Service was excellent, as were my cocktail and wine. Food was too bland for my taste.

    Service is friendly, but the food was very disappointing, overcooked and dry chicken and lamb, definitely not worth the price tag

    The restaurant was located near the Natural History Museum, so went there with my family during the lunchtime while visiting the museum. It has the typical repertoire of the Mediterranean food. Ordered three tastes of dips, octopus, falafel, dorado fish and lamb chops. There are some creative dips (try with caution) - the red caviar one is way too salty. Octopus was a disappointment as it didn’t come in the whole piece. Instead it was cut into very thin slices and most of the dish was onions/vegi. Entrees are decent. We like the fish most. Falafel is the spicy type. Lamb is quite tender. Contrary to the fancy display of food posted online, the reality is just very plain display.

    There was too long pause between appetizer & main course service, no followup when additional bread for appetizer was requested.
