The service is very attentive. Right when we sat down the host gave us water which was nice. The waiter was a little too attentive, kept coming up to us to ask if we were ready to order when we were not, and just kept coming and coming every two minutes. They give complimentary flat bread which is tasty. Our Persian friend mentioned usually Persian restaurants give the bread with herbs and feta rather than just plain. We did find on the menu the herbs and feta was an extra cost. We had the kebab combo and subbed cherry rice and salad (which is cucumbers and tomatoes) and also exchanged the ground chicken kebab for a chicken breast kebab. The standout was the steak kebab and the cherry rice. There were so many cherries in the rice, and it was both sweet and savory. I couldn't stop eating it. The steak was super juicy and well seasoned. I also really like the roasted tomato on the side, basil and pickled cabbage. We ordered a stew, think it was Ghormeh sabzi. It had a bunch of herbs in it, and beans and a dried lime. Was told not to eat the lime. It was a very strong and rich stew, I took a couple of bites. Don't think I could have eaten the whole thing. It's very strong. It's our friend's favorite Persian dish and she loved it. There was one dish we wanted that they ran out of but they gave us a couple of dollars off the bill which was nice. Overall excellent food! Would come back.

I do wish the servers were Persian so I could order in farsi but there was no communication issues so it's fine. We ordered a couple things so we could try a bit of every thing. The kebab platter came with koobideh, barg and chicken with subbed the white rice for cherry rice which turned out to be the star of the show. Even as a Persian, I have never had that rice before.Somehow, and it quickly became delicious.And I immediately text my mom and asked her why she had never made it for me lol We also got ghormeh sabzi which as I told my friends can be hit or miss in flavor and if they would actually like a stew like this. They both actually enjoyed it, and I thought it was pretty close to my mom's recipe. The only sad thing was that we ordered tahdig but the table next to us had ordered 2 large plates and they had no more, which was odd given it was only 1pm and the restaurant opens at 11am. Overall good experience, love that they played Persian music to give it a real deal feel. Will be back!

Big fillet for lunch, crisp skin and tasty. The labneh and beets was a nice mezze. We've always liked the Tino's artichoke, but this one could be in second place for us. Shepherd's salad is always nicely seasoned and refreshing. The lentil soup was pleasant as well. It's hardy, flavorful, comes out hot and is a good portion. Overall, I think the lunch fixed menu is a great deal and this place is a gem. My favorite restaurant right now! Remember it's BYOB

The restaurant also had a steady flow of take out orders all night. The meal started with pita and olive tapenade which was delicious. We then ordered the grilled octopus appetizer along with a gyro platter and a chicken platter. The octopus had good flavor but was mushy. I tend to like my octopus on the crispy side with grill marks. The two platter entres were both delicious and large portions. Another great benefit is the restaurant is byob and you can bring your favorite wine or beer. I will come back to try more items on their menu.

No place in the US is as good as true Italian, until this place. This is authentically Italian in the best way. The food is all fresh, farm to table. My salad tasted like it was from Chez Panisse, which is famous for its salads. The pasta was freshly made; the tiramisu was the best I've had outside of Italy, and better than many in Italy, which I've never said in the US anywhere. The staff was delightful and helpful. The head chef is truly Italian and knows what she is doing!, Elisa and Aydon were both fantastic servers. Give both of them a bonus! The ambiance was great, with beautiful lighting and decor. Great for a romantic date or, as I was doing, dinner with a life long friend. I live 3,000 miles away and might make a trip back here sooner just to visit this place. Everyone should come here, you will not regret it!

I wish I had the same experience they had. Unfortunately, the dishes I ate, the flavors were bland and underwhelming. I do appreciate the effort they gave.It was just not for me. The eggplantParmesan appetizer was not breaded as i was used too. It seemed slowly cooked and the texture was too soft for me I did have the octopus, but the flavor from the olives and capers were too overpowering. These comments are mainly opinions from my long professional career. The one thing that I did not care for or agree was the cost of pasta being over $29, specially with just tomato sauce. Our industry is charging obscene pricing on pasta dishes, especially ones that do not have high cost ingredients to them. Look, make the pasta great.Keep the ingredients simple and charge pricing?That will keep customers coming back more often than not.

We placed a $330 takeout order and were given a pickup time. When I arrived, the place was about 70% full and completely chaotic. You could feel it right away. A young server, clearly his first day, was trying his best, but there wasn't enough support. The owner was yelling at him and another waitress instead of managing the situation. Customers were getting up and leaving, others were frustrated and waiting with no direction. This wasn't a staffing issue alone, it was a leadership issue. No organization, no control of the front end, and blame being pushed onto employees instead of stepping in and running the room. We ended up waiting an hour and a half past the promised pickup time. When the food finally came out, I asked if everything was there, and got a quick, dismissive "yes." Got home and realized nearly half the order was missing. Called multiple times, no answer. I don't write reviews like this, but this was easily the worst takeout experience we've had anywhere. And judging by what I saw, we weren't the only ones. It's a shame, because the food has been good. But if they don't fix how this place is run, they're going to lose customers fast.
