I really wanted to like this place. We live in the neighborhood and our choices of non- chain resturaunts is very limited. Suffice to say I would not recommend this resturaunt. The staff and service was great but I was very dissapointed in the flavors and the freshness of our meal. We started with the Lamb Meatballs. These were mushy and tasted off. These are served with lettuce cups and the lettuce was wilted and not crisp. . We then had the house salad with the lemon dressing. Again, the salad was wilted and not fresh tasting. I'm a HUGE lover of lemon but the dressing was so bitter we couldn't take another bite. My meal was actually pretty good. The salmon over veggie hash. The salmon didn't taste fresh and it was a tad dry but the hash made up for it. Hash was yummy. Like I said, I wish the food was better as I like the concept and the staff of this place. I just couldn't get past the fact that the majority of the meal tasted off or wasn't fresh.
