Our server was very knowledgeable and took the time to answer all of our many, many questions. He also let us try many wines before we ordered. The only drawback was that after he ordered wine, it took a very long time to actually receive the wine. The person that delivers wine is not the server. Twice when we reordered wine it did not come at all and we had to flag server and he went and got the order because the wine delivery person. never made it to table. All the food was exceptionally good and creative.

Great experience! The food was hands down the best Greek food I've had in the city thus far. Small plates with incredible presentation. Server gave us cute cookies for our anniversary. Will absolutely be coming back to sit on the roof now that the weather is getting nicer.
