   They have amazing food and great service. Visit before everyone finds out about this place and you can’t get in.

   We came here for the first time back in March on a weekday, and the food & service was phenomenal. Live music on a Friday night was an amazing addition the second time we came! Our server was excellent, we love the baked feta in phyllo and the lamb chops. Do not skip the baklava ice cream for dessert!

   Food was underwhelming and tasteless. Greek salad was the best thing— fresh and delightful with a light oil and vinegar dressing it’s more of a cucumber salad (no lettuce). Dolmades were just okay. Grouper was overcooked and absolutely tasteless w no seasoning at all not even salt and the bed of cauliflower purée was just as bland. Beef short rib was tender and sauce was good. Seafood linguini was fine but nothing to write home about. Service was good but they seemed overwhelmed and it wasn’t that crowded. Had to ask for refill on water. Had to ask for server after meal arrived to say wasn’t happy with entree. Manager comped us a dessert but nobody could tell us ingredients in bakery and my friend had an allergic reaction. Portions were generous but everything was overpriced in my opinion. Nice atmosphere but we won’t be coming back.

    Not an authentic Greek restaurant! Expected great Greek food but received mediocre at best! My dish was good but the rest of the party of 6 didn’t like their dishes at all. The portions are huge (not the worst thing) but the food was oily and blend! Service was very slow and the waitress was in our conversation when she showed up. Not coming back for sure!

If you please reach out and ask for Philip . We hope you will consider giving us another chance in the future to provide you with the authentic, high-quality Greek experience we aim for.
