Jennifer, our server, was warm and convivial, radiating a welcoming presence. She was also extremely knowledgeable about the dishes, which were complex and layered with savory, herbaceous, tangy, spicy flavors. We loved the celery root soup, tuna carpaccio, black lime shrimp, charred eggplant, spicy toothpick lamb, basmati rice and lentil salad, and greek froyo. What a transcendent dining experience! Love, love, love!
