Went for brunch, Gluten free options are terrible and expensive. Will try to go for dinner but brunch was average

For full disclosure, I came here with work, so I wasn't the one who paid the bill, so I can't comment on price point. However, the food, service, and atmosphere was incredible. There was a large group of us, so we trusted our server to order for us, and he did not miss!! He was so great with two allergies at the table (dairy and gluten), and would modify dishes as needed and let us know. We ended up eating a little bit of everything, and there was nothing I wouldn't order again. The lamb shawarma and lamb platter was incredible. A surprising favorite was the dandelion greens. I believe we also got meatballs, and those were awesome. The space itself is great for a dinner with friends, work dinner, or a date. There is a separate bar area that is pretty divided from the main dining room, so hanging there for happy hour or date would also be lovely. Can't recommend enough!

The mezze at this restaurant are incredibly varied and every bite is absolutely delicious. The main courses are generous in portion size and cooked to perfection. The desserts are so incredibly good that you'll find yourself indulging even after you're already full. If you haven't tried this place yet, I highly recommend making a reservation and going! I would give it six stars if I could. Plus, they have gluten-free options available!
