What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable rave about the beautiful outdoor garden and poolside ambiance, calling it a hidden gem in Irving. The cocktails and Mediterranean small plates like lamb sliders and grilled octopus earn high marks, and many say the atmosphere is perfect for a pre-event dinner that feels special but not too formal. Service is frequently described as friendly and accommodating, even on busier nights.

Areas for Improvement

Some diners noted that the menu can feel a bit limited for very picky eaters, and prices are on the higher side for a casual night out. A few reviews mentioned that the poolside vibe, while lovely, can get breezy in cooler weather—so bring a light jacket if you're dining outdoors.
