Such an amazing little gem! The atmosphere was very cozy and great for a date or a girls’ night! Excellent wine selection and the beef kefta was delicious!
We stopped in for a drink before a dinner reservation and I’m so glad we did! I really enjoyed our drinks and small plate. I’ve already told some girlfriends we need to meet up here soon! Will most certainly be back!

4.5 only bc I wasn’t in love with every dish. The sausage sliders are divine. And I could have eaten those olives all day, but I was excited to try the octopus and was underwhelmed. Overall fantastic experience though and would absolutely go again. The staff was great and helpful with ordering the right amount for our group! Also loved that they had NA options even though it was a wine bar.

Cozy wine bar with the best lamb in the city! Wine selection is excellent ! Cory was absolutely stellar with his service and knowledge . They kindly held our table as we hit traffic ! The roasted oysters to die for ! It was a special not on the menu.

Tried the zalouk, beef kefta, and housemade Moroccan bread—everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The spices were perfect, and the atmosphere is cozy with great service. A must-visit for authentic Moroccan flavors!

We’ve eaten here a number of times and we’re never disappointed. The small plates menu changes over time so there are always new options. Mixed drink menu also changes (try the 10/24 with ouzo and Blanc vermouth!!) Extensive international wine list. Service cheerful & chatty, and the second drink came at the exact moment I needed it! Atmosphere like a small neighborhood coffee shop, with great food and a much wider beverage selection. They also have espresso & other coffee drinks.

We arrived at 4:15pm on a Sunday after a Pops concert. This is a great spot to enjoy on a Sunday. There is half price wine, including bottles to buy to take home (which we have done). And the oysters are $2 a piece. We ordered a dozen oysters, the dates and cheese, and the fried chickpeas. With the comfy seating and pillows, it was like having charcuterie in your own living room. Our server, Eleanor, was lovely and attentive and did not rush us at all. We ended our time by ordering the most excellent scallop dish. The scallops were cooked expertly with sauces that not only looked beautiful, but complimented the scallops perfectly.

Damn you Chef Salazar for making yet another wonderful restaurant — making decisions of where to eat even harder!
This place is great, laid back, Mediterranean vibe — we had the oysters (best we have since San Francisco) and the chicken pastilla (it’s like curry chicken and baklava had a baby).
The cocktail list is extensive, the service is charming, and nothing feels rushed. Hang with friends, have a few drinks, and order some plates to share if you’re hungry.
Look forward to returning!

Service was very disappointing. Drinks arrived about 5 mintes apart. Forgot some of the drinks. In all honesty, very disappointing . They need to step up or they will be out of business soon.
A service fee is fine, but a kitchen fee? They need to pay their employees in the kithen a fair wage so they do not have to add a ” kitchen fee”. What is next?

We happened to stop in for opening day and we had such a great experience! Everyone was attentive with suggestions and seeing our thoughts on everything.
We enjoyed the food so much we forgot to take pictures of the beef, chicken and salad we tried it was that good. We’d come back for the mint tea alone! The inside is beautiful and we will happily be coming back to enjoy more!

A gorgeous space with super knowledgeable and friendly employees and incredible food and wine, what’s not to love?! Had a fantastic experience here for their happy hour on a Sunday afternoon. Crazy good deal too! I left with a bottle of wine in hand and plans to go back again. Great addition to downtown!
