I had a Groupon to use for this place. I had no idea it was Mediterranean. If I did, I likely wouldn’t have gotten this Groupon. And I likely would have missed out on this fantastic dinner. Seriously, this was the best dinner I’d had in a while…and here’s why:


FOOD: Overall 9/10

(Click on the pics for larger pics)

Appetizer(s):
Chicken Kebab – $5
4oz seasoned marinated fire grilled Chicken.

Beef Kebab – $5
4oz seasoned fire grilled succulent Beef.

The beef was alright…cooked at a medium? Nothing too special. It gets a 7. The Chicken however, was up there with the best Chicken I’ve ever had in my life. It gets…an 11 (/10)! which averages to a 9/10 :)
Seriously, I don’t know what else to say except the Chicken was ridiculously awesome. That reason alone is reason enough to return….

Entree:
Shrimp Linguini – $21
Jumbo black tiger shrimp sauteed with cappers, garlic and tossed with our white win, garlic cream sauce.

This was my entree. I also give this…hmm, 9! Pasta was cooked PERFECTLY. Taste was PERFECT. Shrimp was AWESOME. Deducting 0.5 points for the salty cappers I couldn’t eat, and 0.5 points for the shell on the shrimp, making the shrimp tough to eat. Still, this pasta was near perfect.

Penne a la Vodka – $17
Traditional Penne a la Vodka served with Chicken Breast.

This wasn’t my entree…I don’t remember too much about it. It was great, pasta was cooked perfectly as well. The taste had a little kick in it, the vodka was noticable…and it came with chicken. It was a great dish in itself and I would be happy to have this….if not for the Shrimp Linguini.

SERVICE: 10/10

Waiter was very courteous, nice, prompt, everything. To be fair, there were only 4 people (2 tables) in the restaurant, including us. And one of the tables left half way…so it was just us :) I would be very disappointed if our service was bad :) He gets a 10…honestly, because I can’t find anything wrong at all.

ATMOSPHERE: 9/10

No problems with this either, I had a GREAT view of the intersection people, it was awesome to people watch. Saw lots of cute little doggies, dirty men, not-so-attractive women. It was quiet…mostly because we were the only people in the restaurant. Unfortunately, I was put off a bit by the music, but that’s part of the atmosphere I guess. Still, points off for this…I guess :/

COST: 8/10

$48 total…but with a $40 Groupon (which I bought for $20), it was only $28 :) Not too shabby! Even at $48, for two people…not bad. Especially for the quality of food we got.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Food comes first, and it was great! Some things were perfect, some things were close to perfect…it gets the rating it deserves. I would definitely recommend trying this place out…make sure to get the Chicken :D
