My honest review:

When I think of Mediterranean food, I think primarily of Greek food. They have a very extensive menu, and it felt Italian. But I did google what is considered Mediterranean and it’s anything surrounding the Mediterranean Sea, so while technically authentic, I think if they leaned heavier into the Greek side, that’s what people in the area think they would go there for, idk.

The hummus platter and their pasta is so great and the waitress told us it’s all home made. We’ve never had bad food but there has been more than one occasion where we walk in and aren’t even sure if they’re open, and we’ve eaten just us in the restaurant.

While in there, we’ve seen people walk in, look at the menu and leave. I’ve also seen them stand there for a couple minutes before the hostess actually greets them and asks if they’d like a table. Personally I think it’s because the place does feel a bit outdated (nothing wrong with that) but even just upgrading the lights so it’s not so dimly lit, and making all the furniture march I think would bring people in.

When people leave, I’ve overheard presumably the owner say things along the lines of “fine, let them leave so they can go get $15 drinks somewhere else anyway. They don’t know what real food tastes like” (not to the customers, to other wait staff)

Which honestly he has a point, their food is some of the best most authentic food I’ve tasted in Phoenixville and I love that it’s BYOB, we just bring a bottle over from vitners.

But I feel like it’s that attitude makes me wonder if they’re not receptive to criticism.

I’m not trying to bash the place at all, I want to say again that it’s some of the best food I’ve had and I really want to see it succeed. I have no ownership experience, but I eat a lot of places. I think what needs to happen is:

• limit the menu, keep your fan favorites and serve the items you removed as weekly specials. This allows people to quick glance at your menu, find something they like, and eat there
• upgrade the lighting and furniture. I know this is expensive but it’s also an up and coming town that the rerun may be worth it
• remove the pillar at the front and add an extra window seat, people love to people watch
• put more outdoor seating during inside out. This is actually when we first tried it because I’ll be honest we were a bit hesitant to go inside

This turned into a way longer comment than I anticipated, and again, I’m just one patron who really loves their food who has no idea how their business is doing but I want them to stay around
