Food was fantastic! Flavors were fresh and interesting. I suggest allowing plenty of time to find parking if you drive. Good news is the meters allow free parking after 6:00 pm.

Every dish we had was incredibly delicious, unique and satisfying. This is not your standard Mediterranean restaurant but a cut above. The atmosphere is lively but most the seating gives you private cozy atmosphere.

The waitstaff appeared to be working hard but the restaurant is understaffed. We got little attention from the waiter, and there was a very long interval between the appetizers and the main courses. The food was good, and they have done a nice job creating an outdoor space.

Barcha is always a good choice. The outside dining is wonderful (and they have blankets for cold nights, as well as ample heaters). Food and service is terrific. One of my top choices for a busieness lunch or dinner.

Finally got to introduce another good friend to one of new favorite restaurants. The quality of food, food and drink selection, warm and cozy ambiance, and service are always top notch! I definitely recommend having a good appetite and lots of company, because you’ll want to try everything on the menu, and the food is filling. Also highly recommend finding a designated driver, because the drinks are too yummy to pass up. My friend was our DD and she got the ginger beer, which she loved and was a great value! Definitely can’t wait to go back!

The food was mediocre at best. For the prices, it could’ve been SO much better. The service was terrible! The person who was working our table was curt and abrasive. He reminded us to not eat anywhere near the menus at least 3-4 times, like we were kids in kindergarten. Our wines came out 20 mins after we ordered them, after all our appetizers were almost done (which were ordered together with the wine). The waiter brought out our check without asking us for desserts and when we asked for the desserts menu, he blamed us for asking him for the check, which we hadn’t. I’m never going back.
