Had a team lunch here a couple weeks ago, and everything was so delicious! We ordered several small plates, and the octopus was my favorite. The staff were very attentive and the outdoor space was relaxed. Really enjoyed the meal here

Amazing hospitality with tasty food and drinks! Went with a large office group and got great service with attention to allergies and other dietary restrictions. The severs recommended vegetarian options for some of us and handled vegan dishes as well. Went for wine and cocktails that were well made. Definitely worth a visit if you like Greek food or have been wanting to try it. Their freshly backed bread is out of this world! The presentation of dishes and flavors do go very well together.

We were in the mood for Spanish tapas but the one we went too was packed! So we diverted to this place. I’ll have to say, this place exceeded our expectations. The service was phenomenal. The manager and staff were very accommodating. Constantly refilled our water and asked if we needed anything. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. We sat inside as it was a bit warm outside. The food here is spectacular. We all shared a bunch if appetizers and a few entrees. We started off with the Calamari, Tzatziki, KOLOKITHOKEFTEDES crispy zucchini cakes, HORIATIKI SALATA Greek village salad, PLEVRAKIA grilled Superior Farms lamb riblets, GARIDES SKARAS grilled wild Gulf Shrimp. Besides the crispy zucchini, everything was delicious. For entrees, we got ARNAKI grilled Superior Farms lamb rib chops / crispy potatoes, MOUSSAKA braised beef & lamb / eggplant / potatoes, PSARAKI deboned ouzo steamed whole fish. The lamb was one of the best I’ve had. The Moussaka was cooked perfectly. The fish was okay, the sauce was a bit much. We ended with the BOUGATSA folded phyllo / vanilla crema / pistachio ice cream and YIAOURTI Greek yogurt. Both of these were a great end to our meal. I would highly recommend checking this place if you’re in the area. We’ll definitely be back.

More of a traditional Greek ambience. The grape leaf appetizer was awesome, as the amuse bouche feta cheese in the beginning of the meal. I ordered the riblet and was a bit on the oily side. Bougatsa dessert (folded phyllo) was excellent. Light, fluffy, and crispy skin. Nice execution on this dish.

Food and drinks were delicious. Service was above and beyond. A little pricey but my main complaint is how uncomfortable the chairs were. I get that they add to the charm but they were painful annoying by the middle of the meal, and almost painful by the end. Note: chairs at the time of this review were small wooden chairs with straw-like seats.

Food was fabulous on our Friday "Date Night". Been here about 5 times now and enjoy the service, food and atmosphere every time! Sat outside next to the heaters and had a wonderful meal while listening to soft music. Greek cuisines, appetizers and drinks.
