We had the platter for two and friends had one of the other platters. Both were excellent and plentiful. The Poikilia Kreaton* platter we ate was definitely the best Greek style food we've had anywhere in the Boston area. If you're looking for great Mediterranean food, this is it!

First visit, loved it. They did a lot of work from what was there prior, looked great. We had the calamari & shrimp appetizer which was great. I had the bolognese and my wife had the salmon, both were great. We had a lemon cake desert which was fabulous. Service was great, as were the drinks. We highly recommend the place and we will be back.

My friend and I shared the chicken sandwich (which was good) and the haddock with shrimp risotto. The risotto was very bland and the fish didn’t have much flavor either.
