Don't let the strip mall location of this Mediterranean cuisine restaurant keep you away. The food is delicious, the staff is friendly and professional, and the décor is warm and inviting. Chalkboard menus are set on yellow sponged walls and several nice wall murals add to the setting. Chef/owner Bill Karaki prepares each dish from scratch—his signature brioche bread pudding is to die for.
