Awesome service & great food. We were celebrating my grandmothers birthday a day early. She lives in Laurel and suggested this restaurant and location. It was my very first time there. They even have vegan/vegetarian options. The Mezze appetizer and the Blueberry & hibiscus hot latte was to die for. We will be back

Place looks great, food is okay, but service was terrible. We took our mom here for her birthday brunch. The waitress did provide good service at all. We never got things we ordered, and she hardly showed up after the food came kitchen. We did not get things we ordered.
