Cafe 28 - Ocean

**Dining Experience** **Meal Type:** Dinner **Price Range per Person:** $10–20 **Food Rating:** 5/5 **Service Rating:** 5/5 **Atmosphere Rating:** 5/5 I had an incredible dining experience! The food was outstanding, scoring a perfect 5, with flavors that truly impressed me. The service was equally top-notch, receiving a perfect 5 as well; the staff were attentive and friendly. The atmosphere of the restaurant was equally delightful, earning a 5 for its inviting and enjoyable vibe. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for dinner!

As for vegetarian options, I enjoyed a vegan pine nut moussaka straight from the menu, and it was absolutely delicious! They were very accommodating regarding dietary restrictions; I mentioned my need to avoid dairy, and they prepared all of my dishes without it. For a Middle Eastern restaurant, there were quite a few non-dairy options as well. In terms of wheelchair accessibility, while the handicapped parking and ramp aren't directly in front of the restaurant, they are close by. The establishment was fully accessible for my in-laws’ walker and motorized wheelchair. Service was excellent, and I would rate the food a perfect 5 out of 5, with service also receiving a 5. The atmosphere was pleasant, earning a solid 4. If you're looking for recommended dishes, don't miss the Baklava, Falafel Koshari, and Moussaka! I strongly encourage vegetarians to give this place a try, as there is a substantial selection of clearly labeled vegetarian offerings.

This is a charming and cozy restaurant that offers outstanding food. It's surprising to learn that one person handles all the preparation and cooking. The Mediterranean appetizers are delightful, and the baklava is the best I've ever tasted. For our dinner, the service was good, the atmosphere was inviting, and the price per person ranged from $30 to $50. I would highly recommend the Shish Tawook, Baklava, Falafel Koshari, Moussaka, and Chicken Shawarma. Overall, I rated the food a perfect 5, the service a solid 4, and the atmosphere a 4 as well.

I loved the decor and the music right away. The fattoush salad was the best I’ve had in 10 years! The lamb shank was tender and delicious and the rice so flavorful!!! I’m in love! Coming back tomorrow for round two!!! The one man who was the waiter and the cook, did an amazing job because I didn’t have to wait very long at all and my dishes just kept coming out fabulously!!!
