So I enjoyed this place. I like Mediterranean food a lot so this was a good spot to check out. It is a little bit more on the somewhat expensive side so keep that in mind. But once you go in you'll kind of see why it's like that.
First and foremost you have to pay for parking. If you go somewhere else and walk, that's an option, but here you might be paying about $20 to park ballet. There isn't a lot of option specifically here as far as self parking goal so just keep that in mind. After you get your car situated you'll come up the steps and you'll notice that they are spots for the outside sitting area. Like maybe or three or so couches are there which is nice because if it's a nice day you get to sit on the main street and drink your drink, it's seems very comfortable. I was walking to the door and the doorman open the door and gave a greeting so I thought that was really good starting off as far as customer service goes.
Ended up coming in and getting seated right by the door but the whole restaurant is beautiful. There's vines hanging to give to an ambiance comment is fairly dim and lit but nothing wrong with that. If you go toward the back there's a lot more light and a lot more tables to sit at versus booths. The bar is super big and very well put together and organized.
Waitress was super nice and gave a lot of explanations to the menu. Gave her suggestions, I thought that was awesome, I really wish that I remember her name unfortunately, but all of the wait staff I've talked to there have been very nice and very pleasant to talk to. So a gold stock for everybody across the board.
Coming during happy hour was a good move, you have small bites and drinks that are available on the happy hour menu between 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. throughout the week. It made me want to try quite a few things just because!
Shrimp bravas - This was basically cooked shrimp, what seems to be off the grill, in a spicy sauce. They were about five shrimp there, so it was cooked okay, but the sauce was the star that show for this dish. It had an impact, it was tangy and spicy and gave a lot of flavor!
Brussel sprouts - The brussel sprouts are okay. They seemed like they were missing something though. They may have had maybe salt and pepper but not a lot of flavor as far as anything else but the char because they were fried. But let me tell you, using the shrimp bravas spicy sauce on them really sent them over the top. So that was a major key for that appetizer!
Caesar salad - Caesar salad was okay, nothing major. Could you a little more dressing but it was good overall, but it was a salad so it wasn't anything out of the box.
Marinated chicken - So for the entree I end up getting to marinated chicken. Now the mayonnaise chicken was okay, it was almost $30 and it came with basically one skewer of chicken. Typically I would have expected more than one skewer so I don't know if it was worth it for the price. And one schooler had about perhaps seven or eight pieces of chicken. It was grilled pretty well, it was a little bit more affirm than I would like, I would usually like the chicken to be tender to the touch versus a little bit harder, well let me not say harder but at the same time, the chicken was not as tender as I would have liked it to be. But it had a pretty decent flavor though so I'm not super mad about that but it was just to note. It came with a nice helping of rice, a cooked tomato and a cooked yellow pepper, and some pickled onions for what it looks like. Everything was really tasty though overall. The rice was really good. I didn't really eat the whole tomato, but I know what a tomato supposed to taste like so They basically just put it on the grill for a little bit to give it some char and some heat to Go with the chicken. It came on a piece of pizza, not a really big piece but just enough to lay under the chicken.
Inferno - ended up getting a drink because there was a lot of stuff going on and I had to move my table so the drink was good. It was a tequila based drink and it was spicy and I appreciate it the tequila and the spice that went into it. So if you like a little heat, the inferno was a good choice.
Overall at the end of the day, this is a really good spot for if you have a group setting. It's also would be a really good spot for happy hour and if you wanted to do a date situation as well.
