This second location of the popular Coral Springs restaurant takes owner Ilan Cohen's formula for fresh Mediterranean food and plops it in a sultry wine bar on the edge of Parkland. The menu in this larger space is deeper, with more wraps and salads to complement the authentic Israeli falafel platters. Those spreads, replete with smooth hummus, tomato, and cucumber salad and warm pita bread, are still outrageously good. The falafel in particular is moist and practically creamy inside. What doesn't translate as well is the warm, homey vibe the original bistro gives off. The new room is cold and dark, with far too many poorly arranged tables cluttering the dining area. And the wine bar itself, buried in the back of the restaurant, seems like an afterthought – it's mostly populated by the servers who hang out there and gossip. Still, the late hours and the larger environment (the original is terribly small) are a big plus.

This place is the bomb! Although its lost a itty bit of its coziness its made up for in so many other ways! The food is as yummy as ever. The owners are great hosts with a meet and greet that makes anyone feel like family. Wine list is perfectly there and ready for any taste to enjoy with wonderful varieties! The wine bar is a great place to meet friends at night with some great music in the background and lots of happy customers...makes it the best place in the area! The service is friendly and energetic. We can't wait for the new (at the old) location to open serving meat. The new place about 18 tables but the space was needed to create their wonderful creations!
