"We ordered off the given menu, so we did not need a kids' menu. I can not speak of if they had one or not."Wheelchairs are allowed with chairs being removed to make way for any wheelchair user(s).

The food was all phenomenal and the service was attentive. The acuza dip was flavorful as were the beef and chicken dishes. Parking is sparse, but we found a spot because there were few customers.

Cute place. The food is all made from scratch and delicious. Their tzatziki sauce is 11/10. Greek fries have an incredible seasoning and the feta on top is out of this world. Can't lie my favourite part was the Turkish coffee. First time ever trying...Read More
