Michelle was such a joy to have serve us! She was incredibly attentive and friendly, making our visit so pleasant. The whole experience was wonderful, and we'll definitely be back. It's always great when you get service that makes you feel so welcome.
Amazing! Loved the food, ambiance and staff! Everything was delicious and presented beautifully. So accommodating with allergies. Kira, the manager was so friendly and helpful.
The mezze was AWESOME! However, as it says, it’s for 3 people. There was just two of us and we ordered other food too which we didn’t need to. Each of the dips was unique and delicious and the pita was super fresh and served warm. Avocado toast was avocado toast, a nice light bite. Braised short rib shakshuka was solid. Nice that it also came with bread if doing it on its own to dip in the sauce. I thought the short rib was a touch dry, but overall great meal.
I should have taken more photos. To make up for that, let me tell you what I did take note of. The spinach feta roll ($12) was fantastic in flavor and texture but there wasn’t enough to finish the provided sauce! I wish there were a couple more so that I didn’t have to slurp up the rest of it…but I don’t regret it (since it was delicious). I remember coming here with eight people for a Sunday brunch and the service was dope. They were attentive to my friend’s sesame allergy in particular and answered all questions. Everyone got their food—that I wish I documented—after a reasonable wait and we thoroughly enjoyed the vibe of it all. Thanks for the physical menus too. I’m usually not a big fan of places like this since I tend to feel rushed, but I’m happy that my visit here was inviting and smooth. There’s definitely more to explore at this location and I look forward to coming back!
Jameson at the Audubon Circle location was fantastic today. So attentive and helpful with my order, and really made the experience pleasant. It's the little things like that which make such a difference. Definitely coming back!
