   The atmosphere and food was wonderful, but the music/entertainment was too loud for the space. Very overwhelming which is unfortunate because we would have stayed for more cocktails.

   Reserve a table for Easter, received confirmation of our booking. Upon arrival for dinner the restaurant was closed, they're were several other patrons who experienced the same thing. Thank you to Cooperhawk for saving the day. Open table, your programmers really dropped the ball on that one along with the Annex.

   Food was amazing. If you like seafood the red snapper is fabulous. Thursday night at s a bit loud with live music but still the food is worth it. Great service too!

   Decent but lacking any true luster. Bar is small, crowded, and expensive.

   We just did small plates and shared so we could taste more things. Everything was very good. Our server was a lot of fun and added to the overall experience. This place is a must try.

    Bread brought to the table was good but way too salty. Appetizer crunch feta was ok - too much phyllo dough and feta was barely warm. Reuben was AMAZING. Skirt steak Churassco style had fantastic flavor and was cooked perfectly but was cold when it was served while the Greek potatoes (which were supposed to be Greek fries) were very hot. The potatoes were good but not what was ordered and the waitress commented that it was wrong and just asked if it was ok to leave it. It wasn’t worth it to me to wait on the correct side. Finally, we asked about the dessert Kataifi and were told it was similar to baklava but had custard in it. The custard is what sold us on the dessert but what we received had zero custard. She was correct that it was similar to baklava but upon researching the dessert later the custard part is completely false. Not sure why she said that. Vanilla skies drink was also delicious. Overall it was a good experience with some disappointments. We will probably give them one more shot.
