The service was superb, and the food was delectable! Plus, we were treated to a complimentary dessert. We love Pylos and can't wait to be back! Thank you!

I don’t enjoy giving less stars, but for my taste buds - the pita & gyro meat were a little too dry so if I could, I would knock 1/2 a star, but the taste of all the food was great! The tzatziki was thick & delicious. The salad was super fresh.
My friend enjoyed her salmon added to the pear salad (I apologize for forgetting the proper name) and she said it was the 2nd best salad she’s ever had!
And the staff were all super attentive and kind! I’ll come back again & try more things especially since I’m new to the area and will be here more often.

As Greeks, delicious Greek food! We came here with an open mind after not enjoying other Mediterranean restaurants on laurel st, and we were pleasantly surprised. Our waiter Ali was excellent, friendly, knowledgeable and gave us amazing service. We had the trio dip and shrimp skewer appetizer to start with great cocktails. Then met with no rush we ordered our entrees with another round of drinks that were brought in timely fashion. We finished the night with rizogalo (rice pudding) and gelato. Truly felt like we were in Greece for a night, we will be back.

We stopped for lunch. The place deserves 5 stars. We ordered today’s special: a tomato and red onion salad with chicken and a gyro with lentil soup. Everything was cooked just right.
Nice Greek place with excellent food, tremendous service and a pleasant atmosphere. Went early on a Friday night but was treated to a wonderful experience

We have been patrons of Pylos for many years and have found that the quality of their food, wonderful attentive service and prices are hard to beat.

We came with a large party and had specifically requested to be seated outdoors. When we arrived, we were surprised to find that our group was split between two separate tables. I let them know this wasn't acceptable, and the only alternative they offered was indoor seating—definitely not what we wanted, but we had no choice at that point. Unfortunately, the experience didn't get better from there. The manager or owner seemed annoyed by our group, particularly because we had several kids with us. He made comments that felt passive-aggressive and seemed more concerned with how we were affecting other diners than with making us feel welcome. It felt like we were being rushed out, which was disappointing. This place may cater well to certain customers, but they were neither kid-friendly nor accommodating to our needs. Sadly, we won't be returning

+ The lamb shank was satisfactory. Their tzatziki was great. - The hummus & pita bread were okay. The half plate was not properly cleaned. I felt a bit hot. They could turn on the air conditioner.
We came here for lunch and ordered the lamb chops and chicken skewers which were both delicious. The server was amazing, I have celiac and he made sure to let the chef know. I tested the food for gluten and it came back all clear :)

No real Greek dishes. This place pretending to be a Greek restaurant is a joke. There’s nothing authentic here—just a messy mix of Italian and Middle Eastern food that’s poorly made. The pita and desserts are store-bought. The food wasn’t fresh—we got stomach aches after eating. The atmosphere is dead, and the prices are a rip-off. Total waste of time and money. If you want real Greek food, go to Evvia in Palo Alto. I’ll never come back.

Small portions, expensive and not really greek food. Greek salad is with lettuce and paprika, that is not the real greek salad. They say they have original greek food but the reality is they have fusion of greek and Turkish cuisine.
