A friend recommended this spot, and she did not steer me wrong. The service was great. The staff is super attentive and friendly. And the food was GOOD! Everything was fresh. Although all I had was the Chicken Ceasar Salad, the chicken was delish. Well cooked and seasoned. I would definitely go again and try some of their other goodies. This place is always crowded, so that says a lot.

I don't give out a lot of 5 star reviews, but what a fantastic lunch. Spent some time at the…read moreBotanical Gardens (less than 10 minutes away) and did a quick search for lunch. They came up highly recommended, that always makes me a little apprehensive. They were right! Got there around 1is, not crowded but there were some patrons - looked like regulars. We got seated right away. Service could not have been better and I base a lot of my reviews on that. One of the staff was clearing the table and accidentally brushed against me, he barely touched me - he couldn't have been more apologetic. Very impressive, I assume management trained him and kudos to them for that! Food was next level! Calamari app was tasty, fresh, tender and delicious. I had the Filet of Sole and it was in an egg batter that was very tasty and perfect. I know it was good because my son had several bites! He also had the gnocchi and I don't think he took a breath while eating it. Definitely be back if I'm in the area again.

The Mediterranean salad had no tomatoes or cucumbers which is pretty standard in a Mediterranean salad. No bread came on the side. Typical Italian restaurants will always provide a bread on the side. The chicken was ok. The seafood pasta lacked flavor. It's as if the seafood was just boiled without lemon, butter, wine etc. it had no flavor ! I requested utensils and to go items (plates, napkins) and the ordered came with nothing. Big disappointment won't be returning.

We started off with three…read moredifferent dips: - The pepper dip - The sausage dip - The yogurt-based dip They were all delicious and packed with flavor, and paired with their warm, steamy, fluffy rolls, you get the ultimate appetizer. We followed that up by getting the grilled meat platter, and every single one was super juicy, tender, and flavorful, but I will say the kefta was my favorite. For dessert, we had the Albanian Tres Leches, which was good but didn't blow me away. The servers are very friendly, and I really like the atmosphere. It feels very authentically Albanian. This is a great spot and definitely worth checking out!

we liked the leçenik. the menu called it cornbread but it's different from american cornbread, w…read moreless corn flavor & an eggier texture. it reminded me of greek batsaria bc of the spinach & feta. the menu also said it came w a pepper sauce - it was like a cream sauce that had the 'green' flavor of green peppers, no spice. there was also a red olive garnish, which had a milder fruitier taste than green olives fresh complimentary bread came out w the entree, hot from the oven. they had a nice crust on the bottom & were rly soft on top. i tried them w the olive oil that was at the table, you could rly taste the olives our group got a mixed meat combo for the table. my fav was the suxhuk / sausage, it was flavorful w spices. we also liked the roasted potatoes, which tasted like they were seasoned w mustard(?), as well as the bit of cabbage slaw. i will say tho that this plate was a bit too salty for my taste the ambience is nice & rustic, w brick walls, traditional music, & even leather-bound menus. however they were understaffed so service was slow

It's one of the few healthy options in this neighborhood and it's hard to like it when their options are so slim. 50% of the time they don't have all the fruits you'd want in your smoothie. You find yourself cutting down your list or picking something else. My suggestion is. Change yourself to a smoothie bar and focus on that or actually start cooking the items you list on your menu. My 3 stars are because i really do want to like this place. The smoothies aren't bad when you get one it's just so limited on everything.

The space is very bright and is playing traditional music and dance on multiple large TV screens. The music that was playing at the restaurant, did not appear to be the same thing that was on the TVs. We liked our food overall, but I'd say the atmosphere lived a little bit to be desired. Plus, it definitely smelled of smoke for most of our meal. If you're going to stick around, get the Cakor sampler and the calamari.

It was made to order & perfect for a summer night. The service was lovely and they had a buzzer on outside tables if you needed something. Healthy portions (we both had leftovers).

This place should be renamed "Healthy Choice, Horrible Experience." The owner is hands-down the…read moremost unprofessional, arrogant, and clueless person I've ever dealt with in any business--ever. He has no idea how to run a place, no idea how to speak to customers, and absolutely zero interest in providing even the bare minimum level of service. I asked to remove TWO ingredients from a smoothie and replace them with ONE. Not only is that a downgrade, it's basic logic. But somehow, he decided I needed to pay extra--for LESS. When I questioned it (politely, mind you), he gave me attitude like I was trying to scam him out of a Ferrari. So I tried ordering a different smoothie. Turns out, one of the ingredients wasn't even available--and instead of offering a swap, a discount, or literally any sign of customer care, he just shrugged. No solution, no apology. Just that blank, smug look like I was the one who needed to figure it out. It's like he's running a business by accident. Zero common sense, zero accountability, and a customer service approach straight out of a nightmare. He acts like he's allergic to feedback, and the second you ask a question, he talks down to you like you're the problem. And the worst part? He's the face of the business. The person greeting people. The one taking orders. Honestly, that alone is the biggest red flag. He shouldn't be anywhere near customers--or a cash register. Or a blender. Or anything that requires basic logic or human interaction. I don't care how "healthy" the food is--nothing is worth the stress, the eye rolls, the condescending tone, or the feeling of being completely ignored and disrespected. You want a smoothie? Go anywhere else. You want to be treated like garbage while overpaying for it? Congrats--you've found your place. Save your money, your sanity, and your taste buds--this place is a smoothie shop run by someone who couldn't blend common sense if his life depended on it.
