"Your friends never go out because they always say they’re too tired after work and just want to unwind at home, but no one’s house is as relaxing as a trip to Noosh. This Mediterranean place is bright and open, and feels like the poolside bar at a luxury Greek resort, but it’s right here on Fillmore St. By the time everyone is done with small plates of hummus and pita sandwiches, no one will remember how wound up they were (we hope), and it shouldn’t be too hard to convince them to go somewhere else." - Will Kamensky
