The restaurant is comfortable and decorated nicely. The music was too loud to have conversation. We were greeted and seated right away. Our waitress brought us menus and we were able to order drinks and apps. Once we ordered it took a long time for the food to come out. Our waitress was outstanding and the food was good. Do wish there were at least one or two kid friendly options like a grilled cheese or pasta.

We went for an early dinner mid-week. Almost all tables were taken which we took to be a good sign. We had a splendid meal and will be back. Michaela was our server and she was cheerful, speedy and attentive. Food was excellent and the vibe was perfect. What a find! Well done Magissa,

Magissa is delightful! Wonderful Greek food in a sweet setting. The moussaka is outstanding, but you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. The service is warm and welcoming. Go and enjoy!

Great atmosphere, delicious food at fairly reasonable prices. The ceiling has special noise reduction tiles so it was easy to converse but the ambience was still lively. Recommended!

Excellent service. Love the space and vibe. Mezze plate good as always. Entrees didn’t wow. Orzo risotto with lobster was bland. Lamb pork ragu served lukewarm. Baklava was excellent. We will be back but may stick to mezze and gyros

Fantastic gyros. The moussaka was delicious and the appetizers were delicious. My son had two skewers of chicken which were awesome and the baklava was awesome too! Highly recommend

Unfortunately, didn’t have a great experience. Servings were very small for the price. Meat in the Gyro sandwiches was chewy and not very tasty. Ragu dish was good but my husband left still feeling hungry because his portion was too small. This place isn’t going to make it if they don’t make some changes. 👎🏻
