We had an outstanding experience at this new diner. We visited as a family of four on a Friday at noon, and everything exceeded expectations. Each dish was beautifully presented, generously portioned, and full of flavor—clearly prepared with great care. The service truly stood out; our server was warm, attentive, and incredibly responsive throughout the meal. Pricing felt very fair for the quality and quantity, which made the experience even more enjoyable. And don’t miss the desserts—they were excellent and the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. This place is a real gem and well worth a visit.
The place is nice and in goid atmosphere, waiters are kind and serve the table well.
The menu is relativly expanssive for the quality of the dishes, at least a few of them.
The meat sandwitch was tasty, but the meat itself was a bit dry in several places and it shouldn't be,not for that price.
The suaces and flavors of the taco ceviche were wonderful. The price tag on that dish is ok but the size was a bit small.
The carpaccio was good and priced ok.
The artichoke was good and priced ok.
The hamburger(diner) was nice but we requested medium and got med-rare.
I think the spagetti meatballs was tasty, the meatballs were also med-rare but my daughter who ordered it didnt like it. So maybe not for kids, but again, i did taste it and its good.
I hate doing this to newly opened places, but this review was written in the hope that they pick themselves up and live up to the name of the other two restaurants in the group.
I’ve been to their sister restaurant in Hod HaSharon many times, and was thrilled to learn that they opened nearer to me. We took the opportunity that two of us were celebrating birthdays and made a reservation. The restaurant was loud, making it uncomfortable to talk even to someone close by. The seating was cramped and I was constantly bumped into. The waiter opening our wine bottle broke the cork. When the appetizers arrived at the table only two out of three arrived and we had to ask and wait for the third. One of the entrees arrived cold and dry, it seems to have been waiting in the pass for the rest of the dishes.
There was some good that make me hope that thing will get better. The beef tartare was excellent, the steak was cooked to our liking, the pulled beef sandwich was ok.
We decided to skip dessert and order one mint tea which arrived with just a couple of small leaves, some of them wilted black. We returned it and it wasn’t taken off the bill.
I hope that my review is an outlier, and that it’s just a part of their learning curve.
