    Our experience here was mixed. Our waiter seemed completely overwhelmed and it took several requests to get napkins and silverware, he never brought the salad we ordered and he just didn’t seem to have time to attend to all his tables. The food was good but not what you’d expect. For example - the pesto pasta was a very heavy pesto cream sauce. The bolognese sauce was also more like a creamy meat sauce but not really a typical bolognese. Both fine - but not really what we wanted or expected. The three other dishes were good. The bruschetta was more like cheese toast with a little tomato; again that’s fine but it wasn’t what we really wanted and was unexpected - it was bread with a lot of melted mozzarella and a little tomato.

    The food was very good, and reasonably priced. The server was nice but she was very overwhelmed and we waited a really long time for our food, a longer time for our check, and it made for a really really long night. They’re short staffed. We will return on a weeknight to see if it’s better.

    The food was very good. We had a party of eight, which overwhelmed our server a bit. One order of food did not come until others were halfway done. It would help if they had more service to help. It was good for a family gathering and a cozy atmosphere, conveniently located for Montgomery county Travelers.

    What a great restaurant! We had a group of six friends reacquainting after an absence. We were loud and happy. We were treated like family (the whole group of us are Greek after all), and we loved the food, the ambiance, and the service. I give it 5 Stars plus! Thank you Manoli Canoli, Owner, Sons, and Associates who work there. It was a pleasure.

    I would most definitely recommend this place to people. The only thing I would note is if you are with anyone who is hard of hearing, don't sit outside during rush hour, so loud.

    The food is great and prices are very reasonable. It’s a family business and you feel it which makes the ambiance very kind. Service is perfect. We’ll be back soon! Give it a try and you’ll go back like us!!

    Hidden gem! Nondescript from the outside. Minimal decor inside. The food however is top notch! Portions were large. I ordered the gluten-free eggplant pasta dish and it was so delicious! My skinny friend ordered the Aegean shrimp and ate the whole large portion! We'll be back!
