"Located on busy West Third Street in the former Goldie’s space, this design-forward restaurant from the Wish You Were Here Group (whose local concepts include the Eveleigh and rooftop hotspot Elephante) opened last week. The dining room is built around scene and mood, with light brown tones and mixed textures—loads of hanging fabric, under-bar lighting, rounded archways and rough stone—giving a warmed, textured Mediterranean vibe. The southern Mediterranean menu, meant for sharing, ranges from Italy to Greece to the Middle East and features dishes like grilled octopus, harissa-honey chicken, salt-baked branzino for the table, plenty of pita and a slow-roasted lamb shoulder, alongside cocktails that play with regional flavors. It is open Monday–Friday 5:30 p.m.–1 a.m., Saturday 10 a.m.–1 a.m. and Sunday until 10 p.m., and reservations are available now." - Farley Elliott
