    I was looking for a restaurant with a great view and came across this place. When I called to make…read morea reservation, they told me the upstairs area was already booked for a private party, so unfortunately, the view wasn't going to be available. I decided to go anyway, and I'm honestly so glad I did! When you first arrive, they have valet parking, which was okay. The parking lot is pretty small. Walking in, there are these beautiful exotic birds that immediately caught my attention. They were so gorgeous! We were greeted and seated right away. Our server was super nice, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit. The restaurant was also very clean. Now, the food was SO good! I tried a little bit of everything, and honestly, I had no complaints. The sangria I ordered was phenomenal. You could tell it was made correctly because it didn't have that harsh alcohol taste. It was smooth, refreshing, and not overly sweet. The burger was juicy and delicious, the calamari was fresh and so good, and the mac & cheese was also really tasty. Everything we tried was delicious. Even though I didn't get to experience the upstairs view, I'm so glad I still decided to come. I had such a great experience and definitely can't wait to come back and try more!

A special shout-out to Francisco, the bartender. He was absolutely fantastic--friendly, attentive, professional, and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived.

I loved the seafood risotto - it was so flavorful & fresh- and my friend Alexis loved her filet mignon kebabs! The tiramisu was such a treat and so were the ocean views. Our waitress was kind, helpful, and attentive! It has been hard to find places to eat during this heat wave that aren't too hot, but sitting by the open window made for a lovely experience!

We also ordered Spicy Tuna tar tar app, Mediterranean fries which included feta cheese, zaatar and garlic, so yummy. For an entree I had ordered the chicken kebab plate with subbing in chicken breast instead of chicken thigh. All the food tasted great. So why 4 stars? It could have been five starts however because I felt the portion for the chicken was much too little and the drinks for me was mediocre at best as far as margaritas goes. Otherwise definitely recommend trying this place and trying out the items on the expansive menu.

    Food is good, service was okay, speed was disappointingly slow…read more I get that these places make their food to order so I expected a wait, but they have the word "express" in their business name so I had a false expectation. Needless to say I sat there waiting for my two to-go orders for what felt like an eternity. A lot of people flowed in after me and they were all just waiting, it was weird since it was empty when I walked in and then seeing 6 tables of people with no food. I thought I ordered the cheaper lunch special of chicken koobideh and beef koobideh, but he punched in the full portion instead. I didn't really mind as it just became extra food for dinner. But I feel like if someone is going in at the beginning of lunch time, they would be looking to order lunch menu stuff? I guess I can't expect people to do what I my logic would do. The two koobidehs is pretty much the same thing I order at any of these places because I prefer ground meat that's tender and juicy and this place did not disappoint. They were cooked to perfections with just a little crisp on the meats. Not much else to say since I only had a basic meal....meals

    We had it to go, so I can't speak much about the dine-in experience, but I will say the service…read morewasn't the friendliest. We ordered the combo beef and chicken plate, the beef gyro plate, and two falafel on the side. The falafel didn't look impressive, but they were surprisingly excellent--moist, flavorful, and honestly better than Sababa's. I'll definitely order six next time. The gyro plate was solid, not overly greasy or heavy, and the seasoning was just right. I wasn't a fan of the hummus, which had a bitter aftertaste, but my partner liked the tanginess, so that may come down to personal preference. On the combo plate, the chicken stood out: juicy and tender. The beef seemed to be a leaner cut and was a bit dry. I'd probably skip this particular beef kebab next time and try a different one. The saffron rice and grilled tomato were a nice complement. The plate also came with jumbo naan, served warm and smelling amazing, definitely a highlight.
