A must go to if you're in the neighborhood, planning a date, or for some casual fun wine and dine experience with family or friends. Refreshing food that's not heavy, flavors that are distinct, and different than your typical restaurant.

Pretty, little Mediterranean-influenced dishes in the back of a coffee shop/dry goods place. Inside is nice, but the outside seating in back is filled with pretty plants.
