Service, atmosphere, food all of it is wonderful it’s like a second home. I got the logo tattooed on me, that should speak for itself.
Personally, I found certain foods on the menu great but others not very great. The spreads and salad were my favorite. Other dishes weren't living up to expectation, like the mushrooms or eggs. But atmosphere is very nice and staff friendly.
Happy hour is great, super affordable for what you get! Patio is amazing, service is great, but most importantly, the food is always top notch even with vegetarian options.
One of the best dining experiences I have had in Kansas City. The food was AMAZING. My only regrets are that I did not have more room to try more dishes and when I come back I'll have to decide if I want to try new dishes or get the amazing ones of already tried. They make one the best old fashioneds I've ever had. My wife got the Keylime Me Softly, which was an amazing drink made with pisco and tasted just like key lime pie.
Sadly, Extra Virgin isn't what it used to be prior to the Mediterranean menu. I've tried the chicken skewers, shrimp, and pork loin and was disappointed and sad to have spent the money. Pork loin is in a skillet of grease and has a very off taste either from seasoning or the chorizo used; it almost tasted rotten. The chicken skewers are good but overpriced and not impressive, just fine. The shrimp is served in a tomato sauce with chunks of lemon creating a too acidic flavor combo with the shrimp. Wasn't a fan. The squash and cucumber salad are very good, but in my experience their proteins leave a lot to be desired. Service was pretty slow for a Wednesday night which left me ready to leave well before we received the check. I won't come back for dinner, but possibly for Monday night pizza or happy hour drinks and veggie small plates.
We came here for happy hour and were very pleased! It was quite busy even on a weekday so honestly would recommend a reservation. We did end up finding a few seats at the bar, which was quite full too. Our server was great. Excellent cocktails. The food was fresh tasting and with great flavor! They have select food items that are half off during happy hour and then $2 off drinks. Looking forward to trying their sister restaurant right next door.
It smells amazing when you walk in and the food has so much flavor. I've never had any type of Mediterranean foods. The desserts were delicious! Our waitress was very sweet and did great recommending certain menu items that she thought we'd like. We really enjoyed the vibes of this place! 👍👍
We have been regulars here. It had been few months that we had not been there and the menu had quite a bit of change such as our favorite fried rice and hanger steak were no longer available but all the food are really really good (except for tomato basil soup which is mot really my taste). The menu now seems truly mediterranean than before. We enjoyed all of our food. I love the grilled octopus (I hope this one never goes away), was in such a hurry to devour it that we forgot to click it 😉
