Esh Modern Mediterranean

Cannot believe we waited so long to try this spot out. Came here for their restaurant week and they did not disappoint. We started with the flat bread with 3 dips. The bread alone is worth coming for. We had to order a second because of how delicious it was. Besides the bread, the ribeye schwarma was my favorite. It was perfectly seasoned and melts in your mouth. Highly recommend trying out this spot. The food was fantastic and service was impeccable. We will definitely be back again.

The service, staff and food here is EXCELLENT!!! I can’t believe there’s so many fake reviews that all came in during the same hour 🤔 Not mathing… the owners are wonderful people and encompass many different cultures into their food. Best date night spot or place for friends!!!

Can’t believe we didn’t come here sooner! Amazing food, great service and impeccable ambiance! We truly enjoyed their food. Tried their dips and flatbread, roasted beet salad and BLACK ANGUS RIBEYE SHWARMA BAO BUNS - YUM! We also had Esh margarita and for dessert cocktail and we tried their pistachio martini and coal baked knafe. Make reservations, they seem packed. Will go back.

The flatbread and dips were the best part about this place (they were delicious ). I got the halibut and my wife got the burger. The halibut was decent but it was unfortunately drowned in sauce and there were some bites that were not tender. The gnocchi was tasty. For being the most expensive dish (~$56) on the menu I expected better. We were asked for still or sparkling water and chose still and to our surprise we were charged for it when the price wasn't even on the menu. I guess we should have asked the waiter. Unfortunately no baklava on the dessert menu! Overheard the waitress saying that people can't come in and order just flatbreads anymore which is strange to say to force your customers to order certain things. Food was overall good just expected to be blown away for the price.

Disappointing NYE Experience at Esh's I wasn't planning to write this review, but a $500 bill for bad food and horrible service cannot go unchecked. We decided to try Esh’s NYE PRIX FIXE menu, a place we’ve visited before, but this time the restaurant and our server struggled immensely. Unfortunately, I wasn’t the only one who seemed to notice. Firstly, the menu was advertised as a 4-course dinner, but there was no dessert course—just a plate of cookies. This false advertising was glaring. Our server repeatedly messed up our tables, bringing someone else’s food to us and ours to the adjacent tables. We even got extra bread we didn’t order and were charged for it. At that point, I was just annoyed and wanted to leave. Our entrees came out 15 minutes apart, which was unacceptable, especially for a $500 dinner. To make matters worse, my steak was completely raw. They took it back, cooked it, and then returned it, which I found unacceptable. The service was chaotic, with tables waiting long periods. By 8 PM, we saw people being rushed out to accommodate other reservations. It was evident that the restaurant couldn't handle the capacity. Overall, the experience was a mess, and I don't recommend Esh’s for NYE unless you want undercooked steak and an overpriced dinner. Without dessert all for a low price of $400 plus tip.

Esh Restaurant in Connecticut is a must-visit for anyone who loves great food and a cozy atmosphere. From the moment you walk in, the friendly staff and warm ambiance make you feel right at home. The menu offers something for everyone, from fresh seafood and juicy steaks to creative vegetarian dishes. Each plate is beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Don’t miss the chef’s specials—they’re a delightful surprise! The desserts, especially date cake is the perfect end of the meal. With an impressive wine list and top-notch service, Esh is perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, make sure to stop by - you won’t be disappointed!

Amazing The vibe was lively and welcoming from the minute you enter the bar space and community table was really a great space. The lay out of tables was perfect. Gary our server was so knowledgeable and helpful. his suggestions were really great for the size our our table the food was beautifully and meticulously plated it was hard to choose and gary spaced out our cources not rushed Drinks were great and an interesting wine list. Stand outs are the flat breads and appetizers. We all enjoyed everything. Can't wait to visit again

By far the best restaurant in Fairfield. Makes you forget you are on the countryside in a quiet village. Food is perfect service quick and non intrusive but kind. Perfect for a date night.

I had a great experience and I definitely will be returning! The vibe is cool. The food is absolutely delicious.

Well damn. I would say one of the best burgers I have ever tasted. When you look at the price of it it makes you wonder can it really be that good? Yes it is. It's amazing. First off they give you a lot. It's like two burger in one. The use of the pita bread that's baked fresh and toasted on site In the fire makes all the difference. You can taste the sesame seeds bursting with flavor. At the bottom a layer of grilled onions and the beef was just so juicy and hot. The potatoe cubes were great and I like that they gave a tub of ketchup. Dare I say the best burger I have ever tasted? Esh you had me at burger. Everything else was great as well. A bit pricey but you get what you paid for. 5 stars all around.

If you want fast food and spend $200+, this is your place to go!! Oh, where do I begin? We made a reservation at this restaurant, under the assumption of a brunch/dinner experience. When calling the restaurant, they guaranteed, we'd have the brunch menu 'PLUS' the dinner menu. The restaurant called and confirmed our reservation, leaving the message along side, 'call us back to guarantee a seat' Upon arrival, the parking situation was incorrect. Secondly; to heckle us on the confirmation of our reservations' 'The place was empty' Seated at our table, we were expected to place an order on a split second. With the waiter then saying, QUOTE, 'I'll put this order in, but we don't do it like this." Not to mention, half the options offered on the menu, were not available. To pay $20-$50 on average for a dish here, do your diligence. Mediocre food at extremely high prices The four of us sat there for, maybe 40 min, spent over $200 We each had ONE adult beverage, and shared THREE apps The waiter dropped the check, watched us like a shark, to check and see when we paid. This was a very push you out the house experience. Would not recommend

After much convincing, and finally being in the neighborhood we made our way to Esh. A highly rated place amongst our Foodie friends we were excited to finally pop in. Bottom line if I could give it 3.5 star that's where I'd land. So I was hoping to be blown out of the water and while things were good I've eaten at many other five star Mediterranean restaurants. We actually happen to pop in for happy hour, so maybe the limited menu influenced our experience but we had most of the appetizers they offer and some cocktails. I love their Mediterranean inspired cocktails but most were too sweet or too sour for me unfortunately. But they were pretty however I'm not paying for pretty. Overall, the food was about a four out of five stars, particularly great were the falafels. I wish it was served with tzatziki instead of the tahini. The dips and bread were by far the best! I wasn't crazy about the zucchini cake, and the Moroccan cigar was OK. We were going to order a main dish, but got full just from the appetizers. If we do return, maybe we'll go order some mains and see if that improves our food experience. For dessert we had to knafeh.. It was pretty good compared to others that I've had. It was served with a lavender ice cream, which was good but a bit intense. I think this could easily be served with some sort of vanilla derivative. The bar staff, hosts and overall ambience were top-notch, so it's definitely worth just coming in to experience the vibe.

Gave it another shot. Food still underwhelming. Both oily/heavy and lacking flavor. Service was better at least. But we won't be back.

Beautiful, bold design and beautiful, delicious food. Went for Sunday brunch and will definitely go back. Our server was kind and attentive.

This contemporary, intimate, Middle Eastern/Mediterranean inspired restaurant is a mouthful of flavor. Recommendation is to pick a few starter plates and share so you can maximize the menu options! The portions are worth the price. I tried the Baba ghanoush, Labneh, Spicy feta, Flatbread, Black angus ribeye shwarma bao buns, Lavender martini 2.0 and Watermelon mojito. Every bite was a perfect mixture of spices with fresh wood fired ingredients. The staff was professional and food came out hot and quick. Make sure to ask for parking validation at the hostess stand. I'll be back for sure!

Brunch menu was amazing. I loved the variety of shashukas. The restaurant is gorgeous and very chic. I wished they put less cheese though and offered more bread bc the long rolls weren't ideal for dipping. Definitely plan on taking leftovers. Great dish size but be careful of the hot serving dish, it needs a warning on it.

Very seldom a restaurant surprises me in presentation, vibes, and taste. Our family ordered most items on the menu, but I was pleasantly surprised by the sticky toffee cake. I was utterly speechless and could not share. Did I honestly taste coffee liquor in the whipped cream? Quite impressive. To the staff, mabruk!

We stopped in for dinner and really enjoyed the experience and food. We did not have a reservation but since we got there early we sat at a communal table which was just fine. The restaurant was really nicely decorated with a large communal table where at least about 12 could sit at. In addition there had a beautiful bar area when one could also dine at. It was as very nice vibe. For our meal we decided to have several plates to share. We started with the burrata which was excellent, served with some cured meat slices and nuts. Really good! We also ordered the octopus and the Wagyu Bao buns. The buns were packed with flavor, I love them. Top top everything off we had an order of the Brussel sprouts. For dessert we had the date sponge cake. It was the perfect way to end the night.

We went in to dinner at Esh with high expectations but ultimately did not love it as much as we thought we were going to. The ambiance was totally unique to Connecticut- sleek and dark but also inviting. The crowd was mature. We loved the music and the overall feel of the restaurant. The service is where our expectations fell short. I like to think that I have decent manners, so when the waiter pulled the menu out from under me after serving me I was totally shocked and embarrassed. He scolded, "I need to take this away from you because my manager does not like when customers use the menu as a placemat". I understand his rationale, but he should never have served the food at that time if that was the case. There was no more room at the table to put the menu elsewhere. Given the hefty prices and overall expectations of the restaurant, I expected kinder service. The waiter must have been scolded by his manager for an instance like this before. The drinks are $17 each. They are fine. Not worth the price. The star of the show was the ribeye shawarma hummus bowl complimented by Esh's pita bread. If I were to go back to Esh, it would solely be for that dish. The falafel was average. The sauce on the cauliflower was bland. The cauliflower was hard to cut and it was frustrating to have to work that hard to eat it while being out with company. We appreciated that parking was validated in the garage. We were happy to finally try this restaurant after booking the reservation six weeks in advance. However at the end of the night, it just wasn't the overall dining experience we were hoping for.

We went to Esh for my husband's birthday. Since it's on the more expensive side we wanted to save it for a special meal. And man was it special. The open kitchen and decor really brought you right into the experience. So many flavors fit onto each plate. We did a combination of specials and menu staples and were pleased with everything. We loved everything we ate. The scallops and polenta were super special. The Moroccan Cigars could have been 10 to a plate and we would have eaten all of them! We saw they just added in happy hour and we certainly enjoyed our Silk Road cocktail so we will be back!

Start to finish this place was a win. The vibe is classy casual, dark ambiance with the open fire created a warm atmosphere. Our server was attentive without being overbearing. The food was incredible. Spicy feta, hummus with chicken schwarma was a hit, the octopus... we ate a lot! It was ALL delicious, flavorful and creative. The salmon entree was an interesting twist-a different variation of salmon that was a pleasant surprise. For dessert, The rice pudding dessert is not your grandma'. I highly recommend it. I can't wait to return! Make sure you make reservations well in advance as it is a hot spot! Instagram: @date_night_craves

Food? Delish. Ambiance? Gorgeous, exotic, sophisticated. But $$$$. $35 for lavash and three dips? Unwarranted price.

Totally spectacular , food , service , ambiance !!!! Total recommend . Came here with some friends and everything was 5 stars . Met the owner who has an awesome sense of humor , food was top notch . Had the salmon Benedict and it was spot on ; also steak and eggs were superb - perfect cook on the steak ! . Also had some alcohol drinks and again out of the park with these ! . This place is top of the line and I personally recommend it ; will be back for sure !!!!!

Excellent experience here. Went with another couple on a Friday night. Attentive and friendly servers. Modern ambiance...definitely a NYC vibe. Tapas-style sharing was fun and all of our dishes were great. Personally I liked the pastrami flatbread and branzino in particular. Had a fine sangiovese wine. Save room for desserts...the knafeh is great. Good coffee. This place is worth a trip from anywhere. Train station stop is literally right next door.

Our friends are frequent here and suggested we do a double date. What an amazing place. The baba ganoush is probably the best I've had in a long while. The branzino is amazing. They are really busy on a Sunday night that a few items run out (Sancerre, skirt steak). Great ambiance and an absolutely fantastic time.

Food was only so so and then they kicked us off our table after only 2 hours because they had over booked. Overall not a great experience would not go back

Looking forward to returning. We tried a bunch of small plates. The spicy feta and hummus tahini mezze paired nicely with the complimentary bread plate and some of the other dishes we ordered. Next, we had a chicken shawarma special, cigars, bao buns, and the falafel. That was plenty for two hungry people, and we even took some falafel home. The lavender martini was very nice. The specials were especially interesting and creative. The beautiful decor, quality of the cuisine, and service all make this a perfect addition to Fairfield.

Cannot say enough amazing things about ESH! I am a fan of the food quality, presentation, and atmosphere. Love that it gives the feel of an upscale restaurant right in CT; from the octopus mural to the indoor trees, its a great spot for a date night or girls night. We enjoyed their food from small plate to mezze dip and entrees. I will be back! See @sipsandsizzles on Instagram for more!

We came here for a birthday dinner. I was excited to try something new! The restaurant is gorgeous! The service was a bit slow but we were not in a rush so no big deal and it was also very busy so it's to be expected. Our server was kind, as were the helpers. The experience here was definitely unique, in a great way. We started off with the Meze dips. 5 for 35$ and served with flatbread and olives. They were all delicious! Definitely flavors I've never tasted before. This was the favorite part of my meal. For my entree, I ordered the North African style halibut - tomato sauce with paprika, garlic, red pepper, green chickpeas, homemade potato gnocchi & cilantro. In my opinion, the flavors were way too powerful. The fish was cooked perfectly, but I sadly couldn't finish it nor anything else on my plate. It was too much for me. It tasted like I was eating a bowl full of seasoning. I do enjoy different flavors, but it was not for me. This restaurant is very unique and I'm sure many people will enjoy it. It's definitely worth giving it a try.

Can I live at Esh and eat three meals a day there? After numerous visits I believe I've sampled most of the menu. It is consistently, surprisingly, temptingly delicious, and I've not experienced less-than-attentive service. Gorgeous ambiance. It's absolute fire.

I had dinner here with several lady friends right after the new year. Lucky for us they still had their decorations up so the ambience was festive. We ordered several appetizers to share family style. This was an ideal way to try various plates. Next we each ordered entrees. I had the halibut that was tasty. Our server was friendly and efficient. It is important to make a reservation if you wish to eat in the dining room. Parking is available in the adjacent garage and Esh will validate for free parking.

Very bland food and not very good service to boot. Food needs improvement for sure. So many options for good Med foods.

We attended the 3-course NYE Price Fixe event (had not visited before that). They seemed to have selections from their usual menu. All dishes were perfectly prepared and delicious. The dips and puffy flatbread, everyone raved about -hummus so creamy! Didn't really need appetizers after that...scallops and hamachi, branzini and salmon were our choices. The salmon was unusual wrapped in phyllo, and served with roasted veggies-fantastic. Service was attentive and it's a beautiful space. Very satisfying for super special occasion. Perhaps a bit too precious for common weekend meal.

My family and I came to Esh for my dad's birthday. I'd definitely recommend making a reservation as far in advance as you can because they fill up early. It is immediately apparent that there's a warm and inviting ambiance with service to match it. We started with tasty drinks and ordered our food tapas style. We had the hummus, smoked garlic eggplant, falafel basket, chopped salad, Jerusalem artichoke, and roasted sweet potato. The food took a little while to start coming out, but once it did, everything came out very quickly. The complimentary flatbread provided is INSANE. We spoke to the manager after our meal to rave about everything and he said they implement a special technology to make the bread. I'm not sure what alchemy they are doing in the kitchen, but it results in the best bread I've ever had along with other amazing food. I loved the zatar oil that came with the bread as well. My favorite bite was the bread with the delicious smoked garlic eggplant, which tasted pretty similar to babaganoush to me. My next favorite was the Jerusalem artichokes. They were crunchy on the outside while being hearty/meaty on the inside and had a flavorful sweet and spicy sauce. This was a very unique take on artichokes and it's not immediately recognizable that it's the vegetable upon sight or taste. The falafel basket was my third favorite dish. These are expertly crispy while being soft on the inside and I loved the fun square shape they came in. I also liked that it came with two types of falafel - standard and sweet potato. After that, I equally enjoyed the chopped salad and hummus. The chopped salad was very fresh so it compliments the other food well. It was well-dressed too. Next, the hummus was very good and I liked that it was topped with whole chickpeas, but I just personally prefer my hummus to have more contrasting flavor components. All of the above dishes I mentioned were great and the only dish that missed the mark for us was the sweet potatoes. With the description of "fire roasted sweet potatoes, black tahini, smoked meldon sea salt," I'd thought I would love them. However, maybe ours weren't seasoned properly, because everyone thought they basically tasted like a standard sweet potato. We ended with the fabulous Esh Silan Sundae, vanilla ice cream with shredded halva, silan (date honey), caramelized almonds, and rice puffs (like rice crispies) on the bottom. It was great! The vanilla ice cream was refreshing and high-quality and the toppings added very nice flavors and textures. For the most part, everything we had was so special, and based on all the other incredible-looking dishes we saw coming out of the kitchen to go to other tables, you can't go wrong. The tapas we ordered were well-portioned and the entrees also looked like a very nice portion, which is much appreciated! When we left, we made a reservation for my sister's upcoming birthday! I can't wait to try other dishes, such as the spinach-feta flatbread and all the other dips, and update my review.

Was skeptical from the hype and high prices, but definitely a memorable dining experience. Food and service were excellent! Make sure you make reservations early.

This place was awesome ! Our server Nina was awwesone as well. My bff and I came here simply just to explore , and it was a great experience. We had drinks and a few bites. Alright so for drinks we chose margaritas and martinis. We also sampled a aperol spritz beverage, all of the drinks were so good! The buzz we were looking for we received. For food we did a smoked eggplant and garlic meze dip. Main course was the giant "head on shrimp" over polenta. So so good! The shrimp was huge lol. The space is also beautiful! We will be back to explore some more! So happy to have a place like such in the area! I wish them the best! Oh parking is fully validated if you dine there. Enjoy!

Was worried it seemed a little too much of a scene for me, but hot damn the food is good! Lives up to the hype. Friendly staff - which is always nice, especially when it at a hot new restaurant where I have come to expect a bit of an ego - none here, just good food and service! Best shawarma I've had in the area. Expensive, but everything is these days.

Amazing food, very modern and stylish inside. Service was excellent as well. The food came out fresh and hot (where applicable). I had the Moroccan lamb pot pie that was amazing.

When to Esh after hearing all the hype The environment was good, but a little loud The food was tasty and arguably a little over seasoned which I wasn't in the mood for I'll try it again

Service was absolutely horrible. The food was just ok and the drinks were average. We waited more than 30 minutes for our entrees after watching the table in front of us get seated after us and received their food before us. The manager never came to our table to ask us how our experience was going after watching him go to table to table asking others their experience. The only thing that was good about this place was the ambiance. Would I come back - NO! Do I recommend- ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Best restaurant in Connecticut! Everything is amazing but my personal favorites are the chicken shawarma hummus bowl, falafel and the tuna tartare.

Tried Esh with a friend after hearing all the hype... I'm hear to tell you it definitely lives up to that hype! Don't be afraid to ask your waiters (or even hostess') what to order or to explain things. They are extremely friendly and knowledgable! We loved Brian and Brad. We went all out with tasty drinks, small plates, and entree, and dessert! I recommend the spicy feta dip as a side with your free flatbread and the chicken entrée is a must if you're not a super adventurous eater, but want a delicious, delicious meal! It was so tender and flavorful and we loved the cauliflower side in the meal. The ambiance is excellent for a date night or celebration. Keep in mind, I would say it's better to go with a group of 4 or above. The bill was pretty pricey for 2 people and you're going to want to try a lot! We will be back, Esh!

I am truly confused about the ratings of this restaurant. I was so excited to try it and all I can say now is "been there done that". We got as appetizer falafel and it was nothing special and seems pretty industrially made, but the real disappointment was the entree. One of the entrees at the table was the halibut. Was it halibut? Who knows? It was buried in a heavy tomato sauce completely dominating the flavor. The sauce had cream in it and for a restaurant with the "Mediterranean" in the name it is a sin. The allegedly halibut was on "homemade" potato gnocchi. Oh boy... homemade gnocchi melt in your mouth and these were so hard that I could not cut them with the fork. All these for incredibly high prices: the halibut was $48! The other entree was the branzino. It was not bad, very simple and a little more authentic in flavor but not worth the other $48. I see a lot of pictures of small plates and desserts, maybe that is their strength and you can stretch your money and eat more things but going there for an entree was a total waste of money.

Tremendous everything. Decor. Service. And especially the food. Not a single bad bite. Hummus was incredible, as was every shawarma thing.

Starting with a rating of 4.5 stars. Not 4, but also not 5, this place really impressed us. We decided to drop by on a Wednesday night around 8 pm without a reservation, despite hearing reservations were usually required. Fortunately, they had seating available when we called ahead. The ambiance was dark yet invitingly different. The drinks were delicious with beautiful presentation. The food, though just appetizers, came out quickly and in decent portions, and it was absolutely scrumptious. However, the only drawback was the staff's frequent circling around our table, which made us feel slightly rushed. They asked us if we were done eating a total of four times by multiple different people. Despite this, the staff was super friendly and attentive. And I must say, the chocolate cake was AMAZING! I'd definitely go back just for that!

Wow, this place was delicious. The starter which is a large flatbread was so soft with the perfect texture. The hummus tastes the way hummus should. The flavors of the food did not disappoint. My favorite dishes were the branzino, shrimp, crab shakshuka, octopus and the little gem salad. Chef Efraim took such great care with his food. The servers were well versed in the menu and gave us great recommendations. They were quick to get our water and drinks and were very attentive.

A great addition to the Fairfield community! Esh Méditerranéen is a vibrant, fun spot, with a lovely bar and fantastic bartenders. The ambiance is fantastic, with a city feel while being in the suburbs. Try the creative cocktails! The food is worth the visit- we tried 8 shareable plates and not one dish left us disappointed. All very tasty, the creativity of the menu makes this place truly unique. Our server was kind, knowledgeable about the menu and made great recommendations based on the preferences we shared. Improvable experience: the hostess - arrogant with an attitude, she didnt welcome us, had us wait when we had a reservation with no apologies, and made us feel as though we were lucky to even have a table.

Excelent ambiance superb service and esquite cuisine over the top Highly recommend I'll give it 10 stars if I could

It was about time that Fairfield gets a restaurant like this. The atmosphere is vibrant, cool,. The place is modern, beautifully decorated and spacious. The service is top notch and the food is absolutely amazing! We had several appetizers and I could not pick one that was better from the other. The menu is diverse. I look forward to coming back and trying some other dishes.

Very good restaurant for special occasions. Too pricey to be a regular thing, but that's ok. Very nice addition to Fairfield. Great vibe and service. Food is pretty on point. I definitely enjoyed the ribeye shawarma! An area for improvement: we went for the third or fourth time the other day to bring my uncle out for a nice dinner. He had never been to Esh and we were excited to show him. He was sooo hungry and the menu is long and unique, so wanted him to have the opportunity to get through it but also order some dips and bread while we did that. We were not allowed to put the dips in before the rest of the order, which created the feeling of being rushed to get our order in. I understand the drive to not stage orders - complicates things for the kitchen, people fill up and order less, etc. But at a place like this where we want to sample the menu and order a lot of stuff thoughtfully, being able to put some dips on the table as we sort through the options feels like a totally reasonable thing that would make it a more positive experience for all (especially if one of your guests is hangry). And especially for the price. In fact, it should be a standard for the server to ask if they can bring out some drinks and / or any dips to the table as a starting point....

As long as you don't mind a noisy restaurant, this place is fantastic. Food is delicious and creatively executed. Service is very good. Portions are generous. I've been back several times.

Unbelievable, just a gem. Everything we've tried has been exceptional, can't wait to go back!

Went back to Esh and man o man was it good. Got to talk with Noam one of the owners. Such a nice guy. The food was out of this world good, amazing experience. Sitting in this restaurant you feel like your at Michelin star restaurant in manhattan. The music sets the mood and the ambient lighting is perfect.

Flavorful and boastful!!! The food has interesting combinations of flavors, never had anything like it! Food portions are just right, amazing drinks and high-energy atmosphere. Highly recommend this place!!!

Just had a wonderful date night at Esh (Hebrew for fire)! We met Noam, one of the owners who came by to see how we were doing and learned that he and his partner owned Taboon, a great restaurant that was in Hell's Kitchen. So they have Manhattan and Israeli cred. The décor is beautiful, with an open kitchen and great lighting. And the food really delivered! Audrey had a Cosmo and confirmed that the other reviewer who raved about them was correct. I had a glass of Chianti, which was great. They brought by some complimentary flat brad that was fluffy and delicious and flavored with oil and Rosemary, and four small containers with Zaatar Oil, Carrots, pickled radishes and olives. And we shared the Shish Barak - which is a middle eastern take on Tortellini. Fantastic. Audrey had the Halibut and I had the Adana lamb kabobs. Both were amazing. The seasonings are delicate and delicious. There was a tahini dip and shishitos and grilled cherry tomatoes with the lamb. Perfection. We really wanted the K'nafé for dessert, but we were too full. We made reservations for three weeks from now with friends, so we will save room. And that is the proof of quality. There were some service issues, which is not unexpected in a place that has not been open a full two weeks yet. I am sure they will solve them! One note - you can park in the Alto Metro Parking lot and they will validate the parking ticket. There are three ways in - from Kings Highway Extension, from State Street Extension and from Constant Comment Drive which takes you to the northbound Metro North station. They did not advertise that, so you should know! I think we are in for the long haul on this one! Addendum: We returned with friends last Satyrday night. Just as fantastic as before, and the server was great. We sat and enjoyed ourselves for a long, delightful evening.

Huge portions and food is A+++. We ordered the spicy feta, Aegean salad, bao buns, brussels and tuna tartar. For two, that left us with food to take home and we have big appetites. Everything was out of this world and really memorable. Favorites were spicy feta and bao buns. The tuna was amazing and salad was huge. We will do entrees next time. They give you flatbread and that bread was out of this world. Service was great. It was super busy and a very modern decor. If it takes a while to take your order don't worry, the food and drinks come quickly. Can't wait to be back again. I saw someone eating the burger and it was massive, can't wait to try it.

-Incredible food! -Impeccable service (shout out to our server Nicole)! -Beautiful ambience We can't wait to go back!!
