We went on a Thursday evening and the place was packed! But the service was good. We never felt abandoned nor did we feel smothered. It was a perfect balance. All the food was really good as well. The Meze plate, cauliflower burrata, salmon, lamb burger and bread pudding got great reviews from the diners around the table.
