Guest Testimonials
We love the food, the ambiance, and the staff.
Love our local Ela!! Hope the artichoke appetizer gets to stay on the menu; seems to have consistency issues…1st time, they were perfect. 2nd time, no char, soggy:(. 3rd time, good char but ice cold in the middle.
Service is great!! The mushroom shawarma is delicious!!
Wonderful food and atmosphere
We loved the service and new decor, and the food and drinks we ordered were delicious. Mediterranean food is my favorite and I am so happy to have this new and creative concept in my neighborhood. The starters are particularly inventive and yummy. I would love to see you expand the menu a bit to include more white meat chicken dishes and vegetarian options as I don’t eat meat. But keep up the creativity and relaxing vibe of your restaurant.
Delicious food, outstanding service, and lovely ambience!
The service is always great. Kacey was awesome!! I also love that there are multiple European white wines that are not Pinot Grigio. I had a glass of the Greek white wine, it was lovely.
Excellent menu options and food. Restaurant buildout is beautiful.
The staff and venue itself very warm and relaxing atmosphere. It was a pleasure dining there. RJ was super attentive and quick with the drink and food - very appreciative. Confit Lamb belly tacos were to die for. The Baja Fish Taco - The fish was gingerly fried to perfection but I may order extra crema on repollo next time ...seemed a bit dry (to my taste). This time added some salsa verde and was great. Your sauces are amazing. Wonderful experience look forward to next time. Thank you
As usual, the entire experience was wonderful. The food was spot on and the staff was very attentive....from our greeting at the door to our server (whose name I am now blanking on!), the attention to warmth and detail were evident.
Food, ambiance, and service were excellent.
The atmosphere, the food, drinks, and the bartender Meeks! She was great and had great recommendations
We had a great time and the food is delish. A bit loud since the restaurant was packed!
Fantastic menu! Only tweak I would recommend is cocktail options that are not on the sweet side.
Great service, delicious food and a lovely atmosphere.

The good was very good and so was the ambiance. The service was very friendly but a couple of minor mistakes with the order. Nothing serious and I'm sure in time all that will be worked out. Have already recommended your place to friends
