Yesterday I visited this establishment for the first time and was very pleasantly surprised. Upon entry I was struck by the bright and crisp decor. The place is immaculate and very inviting. Greek music is playing in the background. The large bar looks like a fun place to hang for happy hour. Our server, Maria, was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and genuine. The menu is outstanding. There are many fish selections. The lunch menu has entrees that come with soup or salad. The lentil soup is full of fresh vegetables and very tasty. I had the filet of sole which was outstanding. My wife had the grilled seabass which was very good although a bit plainer (healthier) choice. The portions were good size for lunch. All this for only $20 per person. We are looking forward to returning for lunch soon.

Great Food, Great Service - Krista treated my wife and I like family. She was nice, and efficient, accommodating and could not do enough for us. We enjoyed ourselves and look forward to our next visit.

There was not really anything good about or experience tonight.
Service was ok. It was not the waitress to blame, it was the kitchen. Two meals come out first than 20 minutes later the other two come out. The couple we were there with were finished when we got our meals. I got Leg of Lamb, tonally over cooked, and it looked like the they had no intention of serving it. Little scraps on a plate. Did they run out and give me the pieces from the carving board. It was mostly fat and totally over cooked.
I should have sent it back but all I really wanted to do was get out of there.
Sorry to report that it was so bad.
Took 1/2 hour to get our check. Just sloppy.

My friend and I have eaten here on several occasions after our golf game. Just love the food selection, portions are generous, service is fantastic and love sitting outside in the warm weather. They have luncheon specials as well which are very good! Highly recommend and we are tough food critics.

I recently visited this AMAZING family-run GREEK restaurant, and it was hands-down the BEST GREEK FOOD I’ve ever had! After returning from a trip to GREECE, I was craving AUTHENTIC flavors, and this place EXCEEDED all expectations. I ordered the FETA wrapped in PHYLLO with HONEY, a CHICKEN SOUVLAKI GYRO, and BAKLAVA (shown in the photo), and every bite was INCREDIBLE. Honestly, this FOOD was even BETTER than what I had in GREECE!

To top it off, the OWNER came out to greet us personally—a GENUINELY KIND man who clearly takes pride in his restaurant. The whole experience felt like being welcomed into someone’s home. If you’re looking for EXCEPTIONAL GREEK FOOD, this place is a MUST-VISIT!

We wandered in on a random Tuesday night, food was excellent and the service was even better. Happy to have a new spot.

Finally, Fairfield town got an authentic Greek taverna.
Came here for lunch and definitely come again for their delicious dishes. Can’t wait to try their others dishes.
The chef really nail the dishes, great value as you can find them at “Plaka”, even better…I am no kidding. I am half Greek judging it.
“Taramasalata” was on point with additional olive and red caviar add on, much better than in “Omonia square”taverna.
Their “Mousaka” just like what I used to eat them at “Kalitheia” where I once stayed.
The “Aufgolemono soupa”(lemon chicken soup) tastes really flavourful and intense on the sourness of the fresh lemon.
Lastly, the “keftaki meat ball” comes with fresh made tsaziki with the original Greek yogurt, the meat was smokey and taste 10/10, just made me feel like home in Glyfada @ the “George steak house”….!
Keep up the good work, thank you so much to Maria on serving us, will come back for sure.

PS:- my suggestion if allowed, provide the “best” virgin olive oil for the table and fresh “choriatiko psomi”

Delicious Greek restaurant with a lovely outdoor seating area.

Parking: Street parking can be limited at dinner time

Kid-friendliness: Fairly kid friendly. Food is very accessible for kids but the outdoor seating isn't the best for small children. Staff is very nice though

Definitely a highlight in Fairfield! Service was excellent — everyone was nice, attentive, and knowledgeable. Felt treated like family! Food was delicious and serving size was very generous. We especially loved the hummus and gigantes, and I really appreciated having a delicious gluten free pita option. Already looking forward to coming back!

Dietary restrictions: So many delicious gluten free options and substitutes available!

Absolutely amazing, some of the best food I've ever had in my life. I had the braised lamb shank, and just about disassociated taking the first bite.
