Super Service, friendly and fast. I had the fish of the day and the primer with seven variations of salad and dip it was perfect!

Great food. It's not cheap, however you expect that near a tourist landmark. We ordered the hummus, falafel, green salad, grilled meatballs and beef lokrum. The salad and beef were excellent. The meatballs were ok.
