Reviews
Food: Slightly above average for the price. We ordered several appetizers. Flavor was good, but many dishes were too oily. I had the 12 oz baharat spiced strip loin. It tasted similar to a standard steak and did not stand out as expected. Our group ordered similar cuts, all medium rare, but there was inconsistency. One steak was slightly overcooked and lightly burnt.
Service: Attentive and professional.
Atmosphere: Clean, modern, and comfortable.
Good experience overall, but improving consistency and reducing oil would elevate the food quality.
Overall, the food was just average.
Of the five items on the appetizer platter, I only liked two. I ordered the lamb shank, which was also just okay; the lamb itself didn’t have a great flavor, but the couscous and other sides were much better.
The best dish I had that night was the salmon with pomegranate, which was really delicious.
I also tried the chocolate date cake, but it did not taste good at all.
The only aspect that met my expectations was the service, which was quite good.
One thing that bothered me was when we arrived; we were seated far from the window. I noticed a nice table for two by the window and asked if we could switch to it. Unfortunately, the lady who assisted us said no, claiming it was reserved. It was frustrating because I watched that table remain empty for almost 90 minutes while we were there. Because of this experience, along with the overall taste of the food, I probably won’t be coming back.
Here’s what we had. The Mezze Platter appetizer was three dips, hummus, tzatziki, and I forgot the third. These were served with soft pita bread and crispy fried bread chips. All good for mixing and matching.
Then first main course was a whole fried fish. I believe it was grilled. Very tasty and quite a lot of meat, believe it or not. So good!
And half chicken on a bed of greens. It sounds basic but it was moist and just enough salt to make it tasty. Excellent.
We really enjoy the outdoor seating. It’s on the west de facing the top of Santana Row so it’s lively and energetic. It’s well kept and they even had more cushiony seats right next to us. Kind of like patio furniture.
I feel the best times to come are spring and summer to get the entire vibe.
The food was very tasty, and flavorful.
Green eggs and lamb, was filling with the chili hot sauce it made it even better. The Brussel sprouts were cooked perfectly and have great flavor. The spritzer drinks were also very refreshing. I would come back for sure . The only thing that was a bit annoying was the online menu was not what was available, because we had dishes that we wanted to try based from the online menu and they were only available during the week. However the food and service made up for it.
