For those in the know, this is the new home of Phonecia, relocated from its Alki address. If you had the pleasure of dining there, be assured ONLY the address has changed.
Mediterranean does not begin to do justice to the vibrant array of flavors that await. Prepare your senses to be soothed into a culinary feast.
This is a modest venue; consider a reservation.
The “small plates” are equivalent to an “appetizer” portion, with the precision and flavor of a gourmet entree. Having only sampled a few, multiple visits will be required to sample them all.
The Kale Caesar Salad was heavy on the Kale, less the Caesar (dressing), although, generously covered with shaved Parmesan. If you enjoy Kale, this is a must.
The photo features a culinary surprise: a pizza. Not just any, ordinary one, though. A coal, maybe wood fired, offering of beauty and flavor. The menu cites “spicy” salami and it IS delicious but may be strong for some.
Only as a suggestion, and use your own judgement, a simple rule might be one “small plate” per two diners. If you prefer, a small plate might be an entree, and the ration could be three for two, with sharing encouraged.

Dine, dine again, and find YOUR favorite.
