Leave it to Elouise A. Jones to bring out the trendy and elegant best in old, homey favorites. The cream of mushroom soup, for example, in its thin, milky broth, is loaded with tons of mushrooms that fairly pop with freshness; fried oysters, for another, are so tender and juicy that they seem lighter than air.

I went here for the first time last week and loved it. We took it to-go, and I got the veggie plate with a side of falafel. There was so much left over I ate the rest of it for dinner. If you like Mediterranean food, definitely go to Fadi's!
