Enjoyed the flavorful food, very well made and presented in authentic Moroccan tagines. Good variety of Mediterranean foods with great selection of wines. Service was very good too, with courteous and friendly staff, all done with smiles and attention.

Great Ambiance, however the Risotto was a bit bland, the lamb was definitely not seasoned correctly, salad was drenched in dressing, not very appetizing. I felt the service was OK but I ordered a cappuccino and it never arrived. The best part of the night was the desert. good desert. Probably would not go here again, I wasn't completely pleased.

Food was great! We ordered the Octopus as an appetizer and it was incredibly delicious. They have a very interesting cocktail menu.

Overall this was a positive dining experience.
The restaurant is on the ground floor of the JW Marriott Marquis so if you stay at the hotel overnight it's worth booking a table.
The menu had a nice variety of Mediterranean options and some of them were quite flavoursome. The service was very good, the staff eager to help and the decor was beautiful.
Yet, when compared to other top restaurants of its kind from the types you find in London and other European cities, the restaurant did not come close to a fine-dining experience and left a few things to be desired.

Great food. I would have given it 5 stars if it had more of a selection. The raw tuna appetizer is excellent The shirt steak was great for me. My wife had the filet. She moved it. They have a potato dish that we ordered to go with out dinner that had potatoes, tomato paste, smoked paprika and I don’t know what else. It was awesome. The ambiance is a little uptight but the staff is great.

It was a nice experience. The Tapas-style appetizers were better than the entrees, but both were good. The fried artichokes and lamb flat bread are highly recommended. I got the grouper which was very nicely done and portioned. Service was good, but a smile goes a long way, especially as a bartender.
