output: Given these tough times, you'd expect a lot for a somewhat pricey meal. The whole Italian Mediterranean fusion was a bad idea. I seriously feel that this place will close down in the near future. My brother and I made the mistake of referring to GPS, rather than Yelp. We had lunch on a Friday afternoon. I liked the aesthetics, but SERVICE was POOR. The food reflected the poor service. I ordered the lamb kabobs for $16 not including t/t. The lamb was dry and rough. The dish had an Italian twist, which really took the authentic flavor out of the food. Service was the worst I have encountered in quite some time. There were about three small parties while I ate there, and about 5 servers. WTF were they doing? Certainly not checking to see whether the meal was ok, nor refilling drinks. I had to walk the bill up to a server that gave me attitude. Also, there was an annoying teen (possibly owner's daughter) running about. Suggestions to the owner- Close shop or offer decent prices (happy hour), take the Italian out of the Mediterranean equation, rehire new staff (David K was our server- nice, but just delivered food), eliminate dishes that are not popular, and offer complimentary Hummus and Pita. Btw, I want my money back!

output: I came here with high hopes: the menu looked amazing, the atmosphere was lovely, and the staff was--seemingly, it turns out--helpful and knowledgable. I'd been told they accommodated dietary needs, which was sadly not the case. I have a severe gluten allergy, and their menu seemed to have a great variety of dishes that would work. Unfortunately, the server informed me that making any changes to their dishes was, in fact, impossible, leaving a few paltry appetizers or one of the main dishes available to me. I asked why the salmon dish was not gluten-free, seeing as none of the ingredients should have wheat in it, but the server told me the gnocchi was dusted with flour. I asked if the gnocchi could just be left off the dish. And, for some unknown reason, they refused. Not because they couldn't, or because they were worried about my safety, but because doing so would just "ruin the aesthetics of the dish." The food I ended up getting was not only disappointing, but actually was not cooked properly and didn't even taste good. The only worthwhile thing there was the cheese board. If you want to eat at a place where the pursuit of pretension wins out over letting a customer eat, go here.

Great neighborhood place. Try the orange/cranberry oven pancakes & Belgian Waffles- both very good! Have great coffee & the servers make sure your cup is never empty. Very friendly staff, the owner even comes out to talk to the diners! Makes you feel at home.
