For starters, I ordered lentil soup and hummus and pitas. I have to be honest and say that the…read morelentil soup made with red lentils was the best mental soup I've ever had and I've had a lot that pills in comparison to the hummus. It was so silky, smooth, and utterly delicious. My wife and I agreed that it was the best hummus we've ever had and we've been eating hummus for decades. For a main course, we had the mixed grill we upgraded to shrimp instead of a coughed up and had steak and chicken . Everything came out piping hot and it was the juiciest chicken and steak and shrimp. It was simply amazing for the food on the plate. Also came with the yellow rice and a red rice. Both were good although I did like the yellow butter. It also included pickled vegetables which tasted out of this world. The meal also came with a salad, consisting of cucumbers and tomatoes and lettuce and herbs. It was quite good. I appreciated it and it's coming home with me. It's a very cute little place on the inside quiet with nice decor and the food is simply amazing. You'll definitely be back. I cannot recommend this higher overall I give it in 9.4. Service was excellent, and we were checked on multiple times during the meal

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful meal at this clean and friendly restaurant. We started with…read moreflavorful falafel and fresh Arabic salad, both of which we liked very much. For main courses, we chose the mixed grill -- the chicken was marinated beautifully and grilled perfectly, while the beef was tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. It was served with two sides of rice and vegetables, which complemented the meal well. My husband tried the gyros and loved them. I couldn't resist taking home some Baklava -- it was so delicious that only two pieces made it into the house! We're glad we found this fantastic Mediterranean restaurant and look forward to trying more of their tasty dishes. The service was excellent.

My dad really wanted this place as his father's day dinner so I got him there. Note: my dad is…read moredisabled and doesn't navigate online menus well so he calls places to be sure that he understands their prices. Note: We gave this place multiple passes on bad behavior/customer service. I'll never spend another dollar there. So 1st the phone call: While he was talking to the young lady, he had to ask the her several times to be patient with him because she got annoyed with him asking basic questions. Besides, she kept misquoting us and we were Patient with her. Arrival: I get there and she's like we ran out of medium lobster tails so we charged you $5 more for a large lobster tail. So they made that and never said anything until it was time to pay. Again, I let this slide because my dad really wanted this place and I won't be able to get him it tomorrow(actual Father's Day) As I'm getting ready to pay, the young lady tried to charge me and additional $4 because she kept making up that I was paying with ebt. I never said anything about ebt or even debit..I kept saying that I was paying with a credit card then she was like "oh it's only $2 extra" I was like well we called and we weren't notified that there was a different fee if you pay with card. I could've stopped to get cash if I was notified when we asked. Her response was pretty much, "you see the paper right there.... well that's what he wants to charge so..." I reminded her for the 3rd or 4th time that I never been there so these are things that I didn't know before arriving. So here we are at $7 additional dollars for this food that we were unaware of. Sn: during the visit, This girl started rolling her eyes while talking to customers on the phone which definitely confirmed her impatience for our call. After purchasing: I went to the car took my dad his food and told him that I'd never return. So, he called and asked to speak to the manger. The girl left him on hold and then came back and said that there wasn't a manager for him to speak to. No one was in charge there. And she hung up on him while he was speaking. That young lady really created a bad experience in addition to hidden fees and things. As far as, the food.. for the price, quality, and experience was not great. The price point for my catfish and shrimp was not bad but the flavor was not good. The quality wasn't good either. (I'll share a picture of mine) My dad's food was around $53 for a 1 large lobsters tail, 1/2 catfish, 1/2 shrimp with the potatoes, corn and broccoli. I was hoping that food would redeem this experience but it didn't. It's a no return for me. You can literally make better seafood boil at home with a positive experience/no hidden fees/ and lots of flavor for less.

The order was ready in about 15 minutes and was piping hot when we left. First off, the clam strips were delicious! There were good size clams and the portion was generous.. The tarter and bbq sauces were very good too; however they were not needed for the strips. The walleye and shrimp were equally good. Again, I liked the shrimp without sauce because the batter was tasty on its own. Even the fries were solid; that's the vessel I used to eat the tater and bbq sauces! If I were in the neighborhood I would stop by for the clam strips a la carte and try their coleslaw.
