I love this place. The food and the service is exceptional. I would recommend it for both work and family event.
What a delightful lunch we had, sitting in their enclosed patio! We go to this place quite often and the food is always delicious. But yesterday was particularly lovely. We had a variety of their spreads as well as lamb riblets and spinach-feta flatbread. Plus they're scrumptious brussel sprouts. If you're a fan of crispy and flavorful brussel sprouts, add these to whatever else you're getting!
The food was 👍. Our service was OK. It was a Friday night before a long weekend so the restaurant was very busy. Our table was near the kitchen and baking oven so the smell was a bit heavy but not too bad. Next time will ask for a different table.
Food was great but server was unfriendly and seemed annoyed whenever we spoke to him. Apparently the guests are responsible for summoning the server to the table versus them checking on us to order. He did not speak to us with any pleasantries or to provide any help at all.
Great lunch spot with friends - lovely space with good food. Only comment is the music was pretty loud so it was hard to hear people.
Food and service is always great here. We sat inside for the first time and it was very loud and people from the bar and entering and leaving the restaurant kept bumping into 2 of our chairs.
We had the mezze sampler plate, octopus, lamb and beef meatballs, beet salad, moussaka (both veg and traditional), lamb shank, chicken thighs. Our favorites were: - octopus - nicely charred and flavorful, but not that much for the price - lamb and beef meatballs - nicely grilled and not gamey; tasty - beet salad - beets with greens, goat cheese, grapefruit, lightly dressed; refreshing - sampler was nice for sharing and they kept refilling the pita bread when asked Lamb shank was tender and meat fell off the bone, but came to the table lukewarm and not much flavor although not gamey, Would have been better hot. Vegetarian moussaka better than traditional. The latter had a sweet taste which I didn't like and there were lots of veggies in the other one. Chicken thighs were dry, but better with the sauce. Service was excellent. Came to check on us, refilled waters, etc. and provided free dessert for birthday girl.
Riblets, zucchini cakes (which are really pleasantly light puffs), watermelon with feta and sampler platter were excellent. Very loud, it was a Wednesday night and they were pumping up the music like it was club night. We brought in friends from out of town and it was a challenge to hold a conversation across the table. We've been there a few times before and it was chill, which is part of the reason we had chosen it. Will be back, but will keep in mind if we are there for a larger party (ideal) or a table for two. Prices were fair, service was quick.
Don't miss this one ! We shared the branzino and the salmon -so perfectly cooked and delicious. The waiter was very sensitive to our timing -overall a delightful meal with a lively but not noisy vibe.
We arrived and had to wait a bit. The hostess was very nice - we requested to sit outside ahead of time in our reservation and they could not accommodate us. Our server was quite nice and outgoing for most of the dinner until the end. We felt very rushed out. There were still quite a few people still dining and they started clearing the table before we felt finished and gave us the bill w/o asking. We were never asked if we wanted dessert. That was not the best. It was very loud in the restaurant which made it pretty hard to have a conversation and that's why we wanted to sit in the covered patio. The food was good. We had the lamb shank, the moussaka (too salty), the lamb riblets (a bit over cooked), the octopus appetizer (wonderful!), the meze plate, beet salad, watermelon salad and a mezcal Margarita. I think the best dishes were the lamb shank on a bed of orzo and the octopus with a lemon grass crema and red onions. It was the best dish of the night & new on the menu! The lamb riblets were good as well as the meze platter. Watermelon and beet salad were just OK...overall we liked it and will return, but if you are there to have a conversation w/friends, sit in the covered patio or else you must scream to be heard. Make sure to slow down the wait staff at the end. It's no fun to be rushed out when so many patrons are still there dining. Sydney - another hostess was very nice. For the most part our experience was positive!

We préfère to eat outside in covered area but it was reserved. Inside is very load, some acoustic panels might help
We loved everything about this restaurant for our first time experience here. We enjoyed the wonderful food. Tzatziki with Pita bread. Greek Salad. Mykonos Souvlaki skewers. And our dessert was delicious too. Excellent service and the hostess treated us like family. We just loved it!
The food was outstanding, I'm sure we'll be back. The only thing that we didn't like was that the music was too loud and made talking across the table a bit difficult. I sometimes had problems hearing what was said and had to have my tablemates repeat what they said and they also did the same. I had the lamb shanks and the meat was tender fall off the bone and absolutely delicious. My friend who also ordered it said the same. One other problem was for those with nut allergies. The dessert ordered did not state this and had to be sent back to remove them. Perhaps you can add Please check with your waiter if you have food allergies" or something similar. Other than that, I'd love to come back to try the rest of your menu.
Fabulous food, ambiance and service. Celebrating a special family birthday and the attention to detail was great! highly recommend for a date night or group gathering,
Great spot for lunch outside on a perfect day! I'd suggest turning down the music speakers outside just a tad, but otherwise, it was perfect!
