    Delicious NYE dinner! We enjoyed our first visit and look forward to another soon. Lovely place, a bit loud but definitely worth a visit.

    We had a corner table with banquette seating in the lovely space. Mezze and small plates were good, chicken good and the lamb gyro very good. Nice to have a Greek restaurant option in Portland after Emilitsa’s untimely closure

    First time at Magissa - it will certainly not be our last. Fresh Greek food. Attentive, friendly staff. Drink was perfection. Food so yummy @ flavorful. Bright space. A great neighborhood restaurant near many breweries. Excellent priced. A new Top 10 favorite spots in Portland!

    Eh, menu was very small. Missing many traditional greek dishes we were hoping for. The food was just okay. The appetizer portions are super small. The restaurant is freezing. It has uninsulated garage doors as a wall and it hasn't been winterized for Maine temps. We would't return.

    We came here for a Friends with Forks event (a social foodie club in Portland). I had never been here before and was surprisingly pleased. When I first walked in, the place was beautiful and they had a table all set for us in the back. Loved everything and very reasonably priced. Service was wonderful too. restaurant had a wonderful interior.

    Loved the small plates and sides! We have a vegetarian eggplant main which was a little disappointing. Good cocktails & really lovely servers.
