The best of the best dishes were the octopus and calamari appetisers and lamb chops and seafood pasta mains/ entrees. Was also very reasonably priced. It has only been opened a short time but is sure to survive for a long time”

We were seated right away and the owner Cem, came up to our table and immediately offered us some fine wine. I love pork chops so I chose that and was extremely satisfied.
