Food is good, service is great! The atmosphere takes you out of the Valley, the music makes dinner seem like a little vacation. Ambiance is nice, keeps me coming back.

We loved the restaurant for its food, service, and vibe. Our server, Maria, was excellent, and the food was truly outstanding. I would give it five stars if it wasn't for the fact that the music was so unnecessarily loud that it was close to impossible to have a conversation.

The ambience is charming. It feels like a countryside European atmosphere. The booths are comfortable and the patio is just beautiful. the waiters were soliticious and there when you needed them. I just love the chicken breast kebab.
