Food was ok, but after waiting till 9:15 for a 8 pm reservation we arrived 15 min early and waited and waited and waited. They can cook but customer service sucks.

“Very Good Food and Excellent Service”
We were looking for a place open on Shabbat. This place was great. Not only is the food very good, it's a fun place to people watch the locals. Lots of families enjoying time together. Very good focaccia (goat cheese for us-- it's so creamy in Israel) and a huge and excellent salad....
MoreWe were looking for a place open on Shabbat. This place was great. Not only is the food very good, it's a fun place to people watch the locals. Lots of families enjoying time together. Very good focaccia (goat cheese for us-- it's so creamy in Israel) and a huge and excellent salad. Plus their wine selection is also good. Why are so many Israeli wines in the US so average when there are so many really good reds in country? Plus it's a very short nice walk through the park from the Leonardo Plaza . (We liked it so well we came back for lunch 5 days later and the waiter remembered us and welcomed us back). My kind of place.
Less“average restaurant”
a good place for focaccia lovers; a bit noisy though. The staff is friendly. Our table was under the metal roof and our stay was uncomfortable (humid and warm) .
