This place knocked our socks off!!! If you can get into Abagail St. do it you won’t regret it! Impeccable service, delicious food, and amazing ambiance! It is a unique twist on Mediterranean tapas style food… (which was a first for us) We started with the Moroccan spiced broccoli dish and no matter how you feel about broccoli you must try this, along with the Lamb spaghetti which is similar to Carbonara but soooo much better! This food is perfectly executed if you are a foodie definitely make a stop here! Open only for dinner, make a reservation just in case!

Love this coffee! They currently have 4 locations around Cincinnati so if you see one definitely stop in for a cup of Joe. My personal favorite latte is the Malted Milk Mocha, and hubby’s was the Lemon Drop latte but you can’t go wrong with anything you choose. They also have a nice variety of savory and sweet treats to go along with your coffee. Also great friendly service!
