About

Hummus Abu Hassan, falafel, and baked eggplant with lentils give vegans several Mediterranean small-plate options, though the current menu also leans heavily on meat, seafood, and dairy. The industrial-chic dining room is dim and can get loud on busy nights; reviews describe attentive service and customized meals for mixed-diet groups, while one recent diner put dinner with drinks at about $90 per person.
