What to order: Lamb skewers; halloumi; dip sampler
Insider tip: Check rotating by-the-glass Georgian picks; limited bottles appear.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking along Union and Fillmore is tight after 6pm; nearby garages on Webster usually have space.
Dress code: Smart casual—Marina-polished but relaxed; dresses and collared shirts fit the vibe.
Noise level: Moderate-lively; conversation possible but expect buzz from bar crowd after 8pm.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes without a reservation after 7pm; bar seating may open sooner.
Weekday lunch: Closed midday; opens late afternoon for happy hour and dinner service.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—several small plates like dips, halloumi, and salads are meat-free.
Vegan options: Limited—1–2 items can be modified by removing cheese or yogurt sauces.
Gluten-free options: Yes—most skewers and grilled items are gluten-free; pita and bread-based dips are not.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes—dim lighting, lively ambiance, and shareable small plates make it ideal for casual but stylish dates.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Possible early or late evening, but reservations recommended Thursday–Saturday; bar counter often seats walk-ins.
Is it kid-friendly? Not really—menu and vibe skew adult; better suited to date nights or friend groups than families.
Best For
Better for: Wine-driven dining and Mediterranean small plates with stronger social energy than nearby Greek restaurants.
Skip if: You’re seeking a quiet sit-down meal or full traditional Greek dinner; try Milos Meze instead.
