My boyfriend and I went for our anniversary. Def a good place to go for a special occasion you could tell a lot of people were celebrating as they kept bringing out sparklers and treats to many tables. We stuck to picking things from the small plates/mezze category as the entree’s were $50+ which was not in our price range. I am vegetarian and everything we tried was good including the spanakopita and halloumi. The halloumi had a great side of some greens which were so flavorful. Ambience and staff were great but def a little on the noisy side. Would go again but make sure your wallet is ready! 😉

Service is not as attentive as I would like for these prices. There is a feeling that turning the table is just a bit more important than the diner's experience. Both are important, but turning the table comes in first.

They sat us back in the cold cellar despite my reservation requesting the standard dining room. This is the 3rd time they’ve done this. They didn’t sit anyone after us or before us in the cellar so I can only imagine why. It wasn’t until we were about 15 minutes that they sat another couple back there.

The ambience, drinks and food were great. Loved the ability to do family style dining with shareable portion sizes (the lamp chops were a good size too). The attention to detail was not up to par from our waitress, but was excellent from the servers and hosting staff.

Ambiance was perfection. Service was absolutely perfect. We had Zoey as a server and she was fabulous. She was very attentive and pleasant. The kale salad was the best salad I’ve ever had, and I highly recommend the grilled octopus. We shared the souvlaki, lamb chops, and sokolakopita. Everything was cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious.I highly recommend this restaurant .

if you’re looking for poor service with sassy waiters, you should go here. Our overall experience was not great however, their food is really good and so is the ambience. Our waiter was gone for 40 minutes at a time we literally had to beg to order a drink or order food or even get a dessert for the birthday girl. Another annoying thing they continue to do was try to take our plates, even though they were not even halfway done. This was 2 whole hours before closing time. Their chef is doing their job great but their service workers need to work on their attitude and be more attentive.
