Fantastic meal and pitch-perfect service. Low light and neutral tones of dining room plus noise were nothing special but everything about the food was. Will return for a special occasion.

We've been wanting to try this place out for a while but haven't had the chance to. It was amazing! The ambiance was amazing, the staff were all super nice and the food was perfect. My husband and I just went to Greece in September and with just one bite we were back in Athens sitting with the Acropolis behind us having lunch. We went on a Saturday, so they had live music and a dancer. The music was very loud but my husband and I did not mind it.

The restaurant is nice - although we were seated right by the front door on a very cold night, so it was pretty uncomfortable. The food was all terrific - except for the octopus, which was very tough. I would definitely order take out next time.
