Opened 33 years ago this family style Greek restaurant has been a staple in Greenwich, CT. Today it has been passed down from one generation to the next. John's son Seve, a Culinary Institute of America graduate, has expanded the menu with simple, healthy, homemade dishes. The decor has been updated and the service still remains top notch.

    Sarah is always terrific and in this particular visit, our waiter was exceptional. His recommended dish (halibut) I accepted on faith and it was outstanding. His frequent visits to the table to check on us were both comforting and appreciated for water. Refills and other intermediate needs. This restaurant has family atmosphere vibes, great food, and noise level all conversation. Bravo to the team.

    Our experience was not as good as we would have liked. It had been about a year since our last visit to FGK, and all four in our party felt that the food was over salted with large flakes of salt on everything. When we commented about this to our server, he shrugged his shoulders but offered us a second glass of wine and a comped delicious dessert. The dessert was not salted!!!

    Haven't been here is a long time, but I do remember the Mussels! Oh my goodness! The tastiest and most succulent I think I have ever had. Whatever the sauce is, I think a mix of tomato, red pepper and cream, but could be wrong, is spectacular. And great for dipping the bread also. The dandelion greens were perfect and very tasty. The black bean/jalapeno hummus was a bit salty, but great with the pita and crudites. My friend had the Moroccan chicken, which she enjoyed as well, but did not taste the sweetness of Moroccan spices. The Baklava came in four pieces, each a different flavor. The coconut one was to die for. Portions are plentiful. Even the appetizers can serve 2. It was a slow Tuesday night, and early, so not many patrons, so it was quieter than usual, I'm sure. The wait staff is very friendly and service was good. Overall a lovely gastronomic experience. Will be back for the Greek lemon chicken and lemon potatoes. Until then, I will be still savoring the mussels.
