Make sure you sign in when you arrive and then review the menu or chat with the other's waiting to pass the time.

The food is awesome and the waitresses are hardworking and personable. Our menu favorites are the Trio Sampler of the dips (hummus, tzatziki and my personal favorite taramosalata), the delicious soft pita bread that tastes
