Wow!! Fantastic and highly recommended!
Pricey, for sure, but the food is delicious. The salmon and steak were both a bit overcooked, however. Great ambiance and wonderful patio dining overlooking the street. Service was top notch. I can not remember what it is called, but the flaming shrimp and cheese appetizer was fantastic!

Great food and phenomenal service! Highly recommend the meatballs, Greek salad, saganaki or lamb shanks. Everyone was so kind and inviting. Cute shaded patio/deck area.

Had tried a couple times to get there and hadn't made it. Totally worth the wait. Can't wait to go back and try more dishes. Makes me want to plan a trip to Greece. Great food. Great service.

Simply exceptional, first class home cooked food, excellent servers, and I could not fault it. Only problem is, I don't live in CO, business trip!

We came in on Father’s Day, and the experience was truly memorable. Our server made our dad feel incredibly special—she was so friendly, sweet, and attentive. She went above and beyond, constantly checking in to make sure everything was perfect.

We ordered the souvlaki and grilled lamb, and they were honestly some of the most tender meats I’ve ever tasted. My dad had a tooth pulled just a few days before and normally struggles to chew, but he finished his entire plate of lamb without any trouble.

Overall, we loved the warm atmosphere and the kindness of every staff member. The location was great, and the food brought back wonderful memories of my time in Greece.

The food is truly incredible. Highly recommend the brizola (pork chop). The atmosphere is such that you could not even eat and still be very glad you went. Great people and cuisine! We’ll be back.

Friendly staff, great service...however I feel like they missed the mark with their approach to greek food. They don't make traditional Gyros with shredded beef/lamb, but just have dishes where they serve "Gyro meat," yet there is nothing Greek about the way the Lamb or Beef is served, other than how it's spiced maybe?

The Dolmades are massive and not in a good way and they are made with more beef than rice, and are not very tart and the spanikopita doesn't have that much feta in it...

Not recommended.

We have been here several times and tonight we were disappointed with the waiter. I did not get my coffee refilled, our waters were empty and not refilled, he rushed us out, he did not check on us once, when he brought out dinner he completely ignored me asking for a drink, and ignored direct eye contact when I needed something. Overall, we were disappointed and will avoid him when we return. Being a former waitstaff myself, I was disappointed in the service. We have never had a poor experience with the female waitstaff. The food was wonderful as always.

Service is fairly slow and food is just all right. Maybe I have high standards from visiting Greece, but I’ve also had far better Greek salads and gyros in the US. Wasn’t a bad experience and the staff were all very nice but I don’t think I’ll visit again.

Delicious, wow! Some of the best Greek food I've had anywhere. The feta cheese that was served with our Greek salad was incredible. The Salmon entree was also very good. The owner/manager was present and checked in on us at least once. Only negative was that the server was a bit cold and pushy, seemed like they really wanted to upsell.

The food was good but I'm kind of a picky eater and this authentic Greek food just wasn't for me. This restaurant also comes across as more upscale.

I will say tho it was very fresh and well plated.

The servers were amazing and when I left my sweatshirt they hung it on the rack for me by the door.

Kid-friendliness: This place is kind of fancy, I personally wouldn't bring a toddler here.

Wheelchair accessibility: We had to walk up a flight of stairs to get to the restaurant and I didn’t see an elevator.
