    Our experience was outstanding! The service was impeccable. Laura our server was so sweet and attentive. The place was very busy yet the food came out very quickly. The GM Jeff runs a tight ship. He obviously cares about his guests. The mezzes were amazing. The octopus was my favorite. My husband. The desserts were special. The Galopotita was an experience to the taste buds! We also had the Greek yogurt and apricots. Worth the calories!

    Staple in my rotation. Always great options, nice happy hour deals, staff are excellent, vibes are good! If you’re familiar with Ted’s this is not like the original. I call this Ted’s 2.0 because Ted grew up and he’s fancy now (but not too fancy).
