We went during Covid Precaution time, and there was adequate precaution present. We had to make a reservation a week in advance, and all the settings were outside. The waiters always wore masks and stood about 6 feet away. They were put the dishes in a tree next to the table, and the customers Bus their own tables.

In terms of food by the way does recommend it more food and we could eat. Overall, this is a really good Mediterranean place by West Coast standards. The service is great, I will definitely come back. Below is detail review.

Fennel salad - that was highly ranked on yelp, therefore we got it. It is a Salad with mandolined fennel and celery in a light lemon dressing. the candied pecan tied everything well together. I wish there was just a bit more flavor in the dressing. 4/5

Hummus - I ve never had hummus that smooth and delicious. The pita was thick with the perfect chew, freshly out of the oven. 5/5

Chicken meatball - this was a let down. The flavor was perfect, it has a nice kick. However the meat with dry. The sauce with it was fantastic though. Overall 3/5.

Grilled eggplant - 5/5 just get it. It was fantastic, perfectly Charred skin, soft flesh and wonderfully marinated with what I presume a balsamic sauce.

Confit Chicken leg - the kale and carrots were perfect. The crust was sweet and crispy. However the leg did taste dry. So 4/5 instead of 5/5.

I would come back 100%. Get the hummus and grilled eggplant. Skip the chickens as both dishes were dry even though the flavors were wonderful (what a shame, if it wasn t dry I would give it 5/5).
