Based on 172 traveler reviews“Tasty mediteranian Israeli food”
“Good food great service ”
As opposed to their former version (hechatzer) the service here was very good. It's also spacious and not noisy. Food was very tasty. I had the gnocchi with all kinds of meats.
“Gourmet Chef Restaurant”
Had heard about this place for years; finally gave it a try. Rather unconventional menu--as might be expected from a gourmet chef restaurant. Place wasn't crowded; service was attentive but not overbearing. Food was unusual but good. Prices were a bit on the high side. I'd give it a second try.
