This place hasn't been cleaned or painted in a long time. If you don't care about smell and the germs in a place then go ahead and enjoy the music. However in this day with Corona virus still very much around the bar has a responsibility to at least clean the place up before the music starts. I will not be returning there even though the band was great.
*due to the sassy response of the business, I’ll give them a context clue. Steven Goodman [review below] is my fiancé. I had the exact same experience he did.
Love the local bar atmosphere and the Latin music is to die for!
I hate to give a bad review but wow… we waited 1.5 hours for our food. Asked the waitress how much longer it would be… she forgot to put the food in! At that point, we said forget it. They still charged us for our drinks and small app we had while waiting. And waiting. And waiting. I’ve never had such terrible service.
Proposed to my gf hours before, and we wanted to grab just a plate of hummus to fill up before we explored St Pete.We didn’t get to because we were there for t w o hours waiting for our check. On a Saturday, they had one waitress working upstairs and downstairs. Multiple guests came to sit and would leave, but us and another table of elderly folks who just got drinks were held there until we were able to finally pay. When the elderly group sent someone up to ask to pay, the older hostess told her to “sit down!” When I tried to pay with her, she said it wasn’t her responsibility to do and we’d have to wait (this was after about an hour and a half.)After threatening to leave without paying, they finally brought our check. The poor elderly group was still stuck there when we walked by 30 minutes later, and they were still seating new tables!My gf and I have never written a terrible review of a place but my god, biggest waste of time and food when you could go to the other restaurant 10 feet west and get quicker and less expensive food. Don’t eat here if you value your time, especially on busier nights.
What a great find!! Stumbled onto this gem looking for another place, and wow! Truly happy with the freshness of the food, service, and overall ambiance. We will be back soon!
Food is fabulous. Eating on the porch, watching the St Pete nightlife. If you like Mediterranean/Greek/Turkish style food this is amazing. Freshly prepared hummus- what a difference! Vs grocery store. Perfectly prepared &seasoned chicken and koftas. Highly recommend dinner and then going to the bar after-flamenco dancing.
Bartender candy is the best and a solid gem!!! Owners are so hospitable:) Adam’s makes great drinks too!
The food here is fantastic! Really interesting Turkish cuisine with a Greek feel. Every dish was so good we had to try dessert. The pistachio baklava was so delicious. The service was excellent and our server Emily made us feel right at home. We will definitely be going back.
Excellent. We had reservations at 7 pm, enjoyed the appetizers and the main dish while listening to the live music in the patio, after we were done with our dinner, we walked downstairs to the club for more live music and Belly dance, we also danced and had a wonderful time.
