   Way too much dressing on beet salad (those Ingredients were good), bench seats uncomfortable/too high/no cushion; restaurant doesn’t allow separate checks.

   Everything was as we expected. Most importantly the food was EXCELLENT. All dishes, especially the octopus! Service was also top notch. Noise level was very high, so we did feel like we were having to speak loudly at our table for four. ( it was a Saturday night 7:00-9:00). We will be back soon.

   Really enjoyed the restaurant week menu. The mezze platter had a nice variety of items, the lamb chops were excellent, and the baklava was probably the best I've ever had. We did the wine pairing too, which was great. Nice to try some different things.

   One of the best meals I have ever had! They took care of my tables food allergies and were attentive. The lamb was the best lamb I have had in my life!!!! Will be coming back!

   Authentic chef-prepaared food: pride and love felt in every dish. We especially recommend the dolmades! Main entree was lamb chops: expertly prepared and absolutely delicious. We didn't feel rushed at all. Attentive but never intrusive service. The crafted coctsils, notably the bourban-based Smoky Trellis = exceptional.

   Delectable food, friendly and fast service, stylish atmosphere. Highly recommend. Best roasted potatoes I’ve ever eaten. Shrimp appetizer a must as well.

   Very kind workers, great food, we especially loved the pork souvlaki and the saganaki—the feta cheese with the fries was incredibly fresh as well

   We had the Saganaki, meatballs, dolmades, Greek salad, and Lamb Fournou and it was all excellent.
