This is authentic Greek food. The food is delicious and the service excellent. High quality all the way, it was great taking my non Greek friends here and them discovering that Greek food is more than the standard grill taverna food. They all loved it from entree to dessert. The fish of the day was succulent and tasty.

The steak specials were magnificent however we found the the kingfish was overly sour and steak tartare had vinegar overpower it completely which was a bit disappointing. Overall, I would come again for the steaks.
