Casual Mediterranean dining by the lake. We visited on a particularly cold day; they’re happy to serve on the patio beneath the heaters but we opted for inside. My man got the Buffalo chicken sandwich delicious with a (surprise to me) Gorgonzola finish that really kicked it up a notch. The veggie pita was calling my name, but I also wanted meat, so opted for a side of lamb gyro walked away with happy taste buds+belly :p He got a (v strong) Irish coffee FYI comes with whip. I got the Artemis margarita w/o agave—super tasty! My man has been here many times I see why he keeps coming back :D
I had a wonderful breakfast at this charming spot near the lake, which offers a variety of vegan options. I tried the tofu scramble with roasted potatoes, and it was absolutely delicious! The flavor of the tofu scramble reminded me of the dish I make at home, which includes olives, banana peppers, zucchini, and spinach—so tasty! The roasted potatoes were also beautifully prepared. I enjoyed my meal with a hot mint tea served in a lovely Japanese iron teapot. The waitstaff was very friendly and attentive, and I found the prices to be quite reasonable for a tourist area.
The food was decent, but nothing particularly special. The service, unfortunately, was lacking. We initially asked for outdoor seating but quickly realized it was a bit chilly and requested to move inside. However, our food didn’t arrive, and there were plenty of empty tables indoors. The staff made us wait in the cold for about 10 minutes, which I found quite disappointing. Overall, it was a less than ideal experience.
The restaurant features a beautiful outdoor terrace with seating options and offers a menu that includes several carefully curated vegan dishes, along with various other choices. I particularly enjoyed the wonderfully spiced fries, as well as the flavorful lentil soup! They also serve a fantastic-looking Turkish coffee with cardamom, although I decided to skip it this time to avoid sugar, since it's already pre-mixed.

Overall, it was a mixed experience. The seating was quite cramped, as the space is small. We found the calamari to be overcooked, and the fried pickles had an overwhelming pickle flavor. On the positive side, we really enjoyed the lamb and chicken gyros, as well as the French fries. The service was good, although the kitchen was a bit slow.
I ordered the Spanakopita and the spinach was not fresh or over cooked and nutmeg (unique to this restaurant) was too strong. Otherwise, the Mahi pita and veggie pitas were great and included large side salad.
Cozy outdoor seating with a side heater. While it’s not right in the front row alongside the river, you can still enjoy a view. Food is decent, though pita is not warm enough for me. And the portions are fair.
This restaurant deserves a higher rating. The dishes are well-balanced, the flavors are excellent, and everything is cooked to perfection.

Delicious food, good prompt service. Clean and well decorated. Will definitely be coming back.
Delicious! Came for the fireplace and stayed for the lettuce wraps.
