The food was great, the service was better. Had the manager come over and checked on us multiple times. The only issue was the mosquitos that kept hitting my group. But definitely will come back and with bug repellent lol

A good Mediterranean restaurant in a busy plaza! The restaurant is located in a very busy plaza in Downey, surrounded by other restaurants, a gym and a movie theater, you already know this place is going to be busy on the weekend. My girlfriend and I chose to go here yesterday for lunch and finding parking was a little difficult. Luckily, I found a spot a short walk away by Lazy Dog. We walked to the restaurant and noticed the ample amount of outdoor and indoor seating. The interior has nice décor, it's a vibe here. We got seated outside immediately when we arrived. It was shaded and there was a slight breeze, it was nice. We ordered the following: King & Queen, Salmon Ceviche, Texas Tiki, and a Downey Style Michelada. It wasn't long before received our drinks and our food. Here's how it all was: - King & Queen: A ribeye steak & a chicken steak kabob hanging over a mountain of fresh cut garlic fries, grilled tomatoes, jalapeno, and chimichurri. I requested medium rare but the meat came out more medium. Still, the meat was juicy and tasted good with the seasoning they had on it. The chicken was good and wasn't dry. The fries were definitely fresh cut, and the texture somewhat reminded me of In-N-Out fries. I liked them also. - Salmon Ceviche: Marinated ceviche style salmon, pico de gallo, chipotle chilies, lime, and pita chips. We ordered this because it was different than the usual ceviche. It was good and honestly, the pita chips is what made it and I wish it came with more. - Texas Tiki: Garrison Brothers honey infused bourbon, hibiscus, pineapple, coconut, lime, and heavy cream. Think pina colada, because that's what it tasted like. It came out in a cute tiki glass. It was good! - Downey Style Michelada (not pictured): House michi mix, fresh lime, and Negra Modelo. This was my girlfriend's drink and it definitely was a little spicy. Micheladas aren't my thing but she said it was good. Service wasn't bad. Our server (I think his name was CJ?) forgot to get a straw for my girlfriend's drink and also forgot to bring us bread. He mentioned the bread in the beginning, then mentioned it two more times when he came to check on us but it never came out. A party that arrived much later than us got 3 orders of bread while we received nothing. Parking, as mentioned earlier, was a pain due to how busy it was in the plaza. I would love to come back and try other items on the menu, so many things sounded good but it was hard to pick!
