The generous portions and reasonable prices make Taverna a must-visit for Greek food enthusiasts or anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience.

The restaurant offers a welcoming atmosphere and superb Greek food presentation. Customers love the Tzatziki, Moussaka, Pita, Horiataki, and desserts. Family-style dining is recommended for groups. The server Mustafa (Moose) is friendly and makes great recommendations to complement the food. Customers enjoy the fresh, flavorful food, especially the whole fish and watermelon salad. The service is top-tier, with an amazing server named Panos. The wine selection is quite pricey, but the staff is knowledgeable about pairing. The painkiller cocktails are good but strong. Highly recommended are the meatballs, flaming cheese, and beet salad as appetizers, as well as the branzino for 2 and the desserts.
