I always have an amazing experience at this restaurant. Tonight, I had an incredible meal starting with the watermelon and cucumber salad with a zesty lime dressing, followed by the lamb shank with eggplant and jeweled rice, and finishing off with the poached pear over rice pudding. This was truly one of my favorite meals ever. Corrine, our waitress, was incredibly sweet and accommodating, and the other servers were very attentive. I sat on the charming and beautiful back deck, although there were some occasional bees due to the outdoor dining. Overall, I would give this restaurant 10 stars - everything here is top-notch!
Service: very friendly, social, and attentive. Atmosphere: small dining room with visible kitchen. Classic drawings on wall, cozy. Amazing patio out back. Price: A dash pricey, but a very good deal for what you get. I would never call my meal expensive. Food: decent presentation, nice flavor. Clam chowder is amazing. Went in for lunch. It wasn't too busy, except a large table of obvious local women who meet up. Server was attentive and nice enough to sneak my 1 entree in so I didn't have to wait for the 12 other dishes to be made. Food was pretty tasted and prepared very well. I definitely recommend.
A lovely restaurant with amazing service and fantastic food. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces are gorgeous which, along with the wonderful service, leads to a phenomenal dining experience. The menu includes some of the best Persian food I've ever had along with favorites like the Rack of Lamb and an exceptional New England Clam Chowder. The kebab is made with ridiculously tender meat cooked to perfection. To top it all off, the bread pudding had me daydreaming for a week after our visit.
This restaurant offers an exceptional menu with a Persian influence, along with a variety of other options. The food is consistently delicious. The restaurant is very small, so reservations are highly recommended. The service is excellent with a rating of 5, as is the food quality. The atmosphere is rated at 4. Recommended dishes include the Sauteed Eggplant with Crushed Walnuts and Caramelized Onion. The price per person ranges from $50 to $100 for dinner. Book a table now
I hosted a corporate dinner for my international team, people from Poland, Italy, Montreal, The Netherlands and the US. We all agreed that our experience was exceptional from the atmosphere, service to the quality of the food. Brought multiple bottles of wine which the staff were happy to help serve, and no cork fee!
Beautiful outdoor setting of tables, greenery climbers spread all over top side. Food we had was excellent, especially sea food choice is still mouth watering..overall a good dining outlet restaurant, Parking available in front of entrance. Worth for money.
