   Souvlaki entree was delicious. Yet…the new menu offers fewer choices, and we miss some of our favorites. Everything is more expensive everywhere these days, so expect to pay for quality and white tablecloth service. We could have enjoyed our conversation and evening out more without the distraction of the live band. We avoid weekend dining because of the noise, so didn’t expect a live band on a Wednesday night.

   Well prepared food. High quality service. It is a happening place, though, and noisy comes with that.

   Excellent food and service. We were celebrating a birthday and the menu had a special greeting plus a complimentary baklava with a flame.

   Celebrated my dissertation defense here and they wrote a congratulatory message on the menu, which was a cute touch. The service was great, and the drinks were amazing, especially the evil eye cocktail. The music and decor were also very nice. The bucatini, lamb shank, lamb and beef meatballs, and the brandy-flamed cheese were all amazing.

   First time her and what a nice surprise. The staff was wonderful and the food very yummy. Except the desert …that wasn’t fabulous..lemon cheese cake…I think it was over a day old and taste of refrigerator. Deserts are hard and I’m a baker so..I’m picky but I know if it doesn’t sell the night before…well there is always the next day. Although the presentation was beauitful. But all of our main dishes from the steak, fish, and my pasta dishes were incredible as was the Greek salad (there is a fancier name). All and all a great experience. I know not to order desert. I have very high expectations.
