We found this restaurant on the web because we were searching for Greek food. What a great find! Our waiter Wellington was absolutely amazing. He cared about my gluten allergy and double checked everything with the chef. The food was delicious and the restaurant had a great positive vibe. Upbeat and fun. We will definitely be returning.

It was our first time there. The service was outstanding but the food was just okay. Although the entree portions were generous, the flavor wasn’t as we expected of the Greek cuisine. We liked the dessert though. Their orange honey cake was really delicious! Baris, our server was very well experienced and friendly. He assisted us in choosing from the menu and treated us to their orange honey cake on house.
