      <content>The website says they were open for dinner Sept 2... and they'd better be open, because I have a reservation there tonight! I don't think they're doing opentable yet though... </content>

      <content>It was good - though I will say that while the appetizers were really, really good, the entrees weren't quite as good. But it's all relative! The entrees were good, but I thought the small plates/appetizers were the standout. The watermelon/feta was really good, as were the arancini and the saganaki... also, the bread was good (and warm) and came with plates of oil with tasty little olives, rosemary and preserved lemon, i think. very good. 

The wine list is really interesting, with lots of unusual things at reasonable price points. And the staff was great - helpful and funny, and quick with recommendations. 

Entrees were split - pasta, meat and fish - a lot of whole fish on the menu, which people seemed to like. Sides were good too. Entrees were a little pricey for everyday (for me, at least!), but I could definitely see myself going back for small plates and wine on a fairly regular basis. Glad it's open... </content>

      <content>I agree- the bread and dip were delicious and I most likely will go back for the small plates, as well.
