    We are there on Easter evening so much can be forgiven since they probably had a very busy day. However, we spent regular menu prices for inferior, way over salted dishes including the lukaniko, gyros dish and taramosolata. The one exception was the outstanding spanakopita which was excellent. Our server seemed understandably exhausted and made several references to wanting to go home.

    We had a wonderful time for Easter. No complaints. Staff was super attentive and nice. Our server Ivan gave great recommendations and was super personable. We enjoyed all our entrees and drinks. The N/A selection has a good amount to choose from. We had a nice table next to the window, which provided a lot of natural light. The bathrooms were also clean. Parking was super close, too.

    We had a horrible seat right by the door, so everyone who was leaving was bumping into our table. There were plenty of other open tables and we had reservations. Food was horrible. My fish was actually burnt and dry. It wasn’t served the way it usually is.

    Great food and ambiance, but our experience was marred by an impolite and unaccommodating host. Despite having a reservation and most of our group present—including kids ready to eat—we were told we couldn’t be seated, even though our table was ready and reserved for the evening. The dining service was generally good, though one of our desserts arrived quite late toward the end. Overall, I’d consider visiting again for the food, but the host’s attitude left a lasting negative impression.

    The food and service were amazing. The lamb shank meat fell right off the bone and so flavorful

    The food was excellent but service was a bit slow although every time our wait person came by, we felt like they were rushing us to order or eat/drink faster. Has to see more reasonable wine, prices, and new menu items.

    Incredible experience! The service is impeccable, very knowledgeable staff. So many delicious food items to choose from, loved them all. Don’t miss the whipped feta, roasted broccolini, Caesar salad and eggplant. We will definitely be back!

    Food was decent but overpriced. Restaurant is loud, can’t have a conversation. Won’t be back.

    We loved the decor, the vibe, the food and the service. The only thing that would have improved our visit is if it were a little quieter. The tables for 2 are a little long and my husband and I couldn't hear each other very well throughout our meal. Our excellent server told us that it's always like that so next time we will plan to sit outside.
