I come from a Greek restaurant background and this is one of the rare occasions that the Greek food was authentic. 5 stars in my book, the Saganaki was very tasty, everything is 100%!

We have wanted to find a Greek restaurant in downtown, and it was quite hard until a neighbor told us about this place. This restaurant is outstanding!! Rosalie is very pleasant, makes amazing cocktails and knows everyone. Authentic Greek food and apps is why we continue to come back to this place.

Our server was great , so thank you server. I'm Greek and I've eaten Greek food countless times both in Greece as well as many other countries, so I know not to judge Greek food in England or US like the food in Greece. I also cook a ton. But this some of the worst, fakest "Greek" food I've had. Everything except the moussaka (which was acceptable, 3/5) was terribly prepared and flavored, some were even warmed with microwaves. Ambiance was minimal and lacking in culture. Sorry to say... :(

I always wanted to try greek food, coming to San Diego from Toronto for a visit, so, I went to this restaurant with my husband and our daughter. It was super yummy food. Mary the owner and all the employees are sooo friendly and nice. Very authentic place with family atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant for a nice homemade Greek food. It's incredible. It was a very pleasant experience ☺️.

The place is more old-fashioned than characteristic, but overall quite well kept. Greek cuisine, excellent quality of the raw materials, the dishes are presented well despite the fact that they are family-run. Even too much so in some respects: as a rule, you don't interrupt diners' conversations with a nod on the shoulder to serve the wine: it also gives the idea of ​​being in a hurry to close the place which is not particularly crowded. The dessert was actually samples (however good) of baklava and soft dried fruit biscuits.

This is such a special place. I've probably been 8 times and every time I leave, I think why don't I come more often. The food is amazing, the portions are immense, the space is charming, staff is attentive and friendly and have been there forever. Owner is often there working herself.If you like octopus, do the octopus appetizer. It's the best I've had in the US.
