Papapavlo's Mediterranean Bistro & Bar

Seafood saffron was tasty but why do even the tiny shrimp still have their tails on? Flaming cheese lots of fun but you have to eat it Immediately, it becomes much less exciting once it cools. Baklava cheesecake cool in concept but basically cheesecake with a smidgen of crunch.

Today is officially our 14 year wedding anniversary. We celebrated at Papapavlo’s for dinner. Jovita had the Gyro Plate and I had Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo and they were both delicious. We both had the Lemon Chicken Soup. For our beverages, I had a Hazy IPA and Jovita had Ice water. The service here is really friendly and professional. We really enjoyed ourselves.

i had my baby shower here several years ago and i’ve been going here ever since. the calamari is to die for. service is fast and the food is affordable while still having an upscale vibe to it.

The owners and family/staff working are very professional and kind. I people watch and always see them doing kind things for customers. The FOOD is great too.

Great space, hidden gem

Mediterranean and Greek food what could be better? This restaurant does it all so well. Be sure to have their Greek salad, the dressing is amazing
They have everything from flaming cheese to homemade baklava. The dolmus are huge and very flavorful.

Incredible restaurant! Really enjoyed our meal here and will be back! Service was top notch and food was delicious

I took my 64-year-old Kaiser Permanente bestie to lunch here on September 7, 2024, for her birthday and mentioned to our server, Olivia, that I was glad we got her.
However, I find Amanda, a thin gal with light brown shoulder-length hair, consistently rude due to her resting rude face. Olivia replied that we all do and laughed it off. After our meal, I asked if my friend gets a complimentary birthday dessert. Olivia looked at my friend and questioned, 'But, is it really your birthday?' which was insulting and rude. We won't be back and are eager to try another Greek restaurant in town called Papapolloni Mediterranean Bistro on McHenry Avenue instead, which has excellent reviews.

A delightful dining experience that combines cozy ambiance with a menu full of mouthwatering dishes. The service was impeccable. For the main course, I ordered Pistachios Crusted Salmon and home made clam chowder soup, which was rich and creamy.

Overall, The Papapavlo’s excels in both food quality and service. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner or a gathering with friends.

Love this place! Perfect date night. Some of the best sushi in town but the best atmosphere imo. Bar staff is fast and friendly. It can get crowded, but if you are cool sitting at ? bar or ? bar, we can usually get 2 seats right away.

Met a girlfriend for early dinner after work. We arrived at 5 pm, so we were the 1st ones there for a while. 2 cocktails each, and we each had the Chopped Chicken Salad, always a tasty yet healthy choice.

Our waitress was great and funny.
