One of our favorite neighborhood gems. The service is always friendly and efficient. Never had a meal I didn't thoroughly enjoy. I always order something different and am pleasantly surprised.

Everything was exceptional. The only thing I didn't like was that some of the tables were really close together. But the food and service was great and we recommended the place to other people that were staying in San Diego for the wedding we went to

Staff is helpful . I wanted a gyro plate with dips rather than sides that were offered and it was cheerfully worked out. The dips were delicious! So happy I got them/ Gyros was typical. Grilled squid was just fine. We were travelling with our dog and he was welcomed on the patio. Nice place to stop along the way for some good food and variety.
