Excellent food. Clearly the best mediterranean food in the city. Interesting wine selections. One complaint: this is one of the noisiest restaurants anywhere in Washington. If you're going out on a date, you'll probably want to go to another restaurant or else prepare to ask your date "Huh?" every five seconds.

It has a Contemporary Atmosphere reflecting Greek, Turkish and Lebanese cuisine. Very Unique and Refreshing. They serve many different hot and cold Mezzes (small dishes). Very well priced!
