Good, although not excellent food. And the saganaki was a major disappointment. Service was mediocre at best, with poor answers to questions on wine, and tried to talk us out of sitting outside. Value was terrible at over $100/person [which did include a shared bottle of ok wine]

The appetizers were done well. For the entree, some of the seafood was overcooked. The steak was cooked properly but the quality of beef did not align with the price point. We asked for refills of the Napa Cab and the server poured Charles Shaw, very disturbing since they tried to charge $15 per glass. The server removed the wine from the tab upon request. Overall everything was nice but not provide the experience one would expect for the price point.

Let me just say I was extremely skeptical when I first walked in because it was a total ghost town. No music and an empty dining room… I had no idea what was going on.However, once seated our server was extremely friendly and the food was good. He even turned the music on for us and boom! No more awkwardness.You really can’t beat their bottomless brunch deal on Groupon. Gets you drunk. Would recommend.

Excellent Grilled Kalamari, Lentil soup and Spanakopita for appetizers. Sea Bass was amazing and dessert was delicious.

Food was good, but not as good as it was before the pandemic. Remember when there used to be seafood display right by the kitchen entrance. Their dessert now is slim picking. The 3-course brunch seems to be their mainstay and the quality is average at best.Lucas our waiter was very attentive and maneuvered from table to table effortlessly. He was very efficient but there moments that felt like he was putting on a show with the banging of platters. Mimosa was a quick mix and they didn't seem to be putting out strong brew here. Galaktoboureko dessert looked and tasted like it was custard egg roll. Bleh.

Only decent thing about this restaurant is the spinach app, besides that the deal in groupon would be the only reason I go again. Our server was didnt know jack about the dishes or she just didnt try. My date and I came at 9 an hour before closing and the server made it seem like a big inconvience, Granted we were the only people there and i can see why. The entrees and desserts were terribly simple. Save your money and get chinese food or anything but this place. we came on a friday on 03/29/24 at 9PM. any reviews that say otherwise are fake or were treated alot better because it was known they would review afterwards.

Fresh salads and healthy options. Basically Mediterranean or fish options. Stick to salads, chicken souvlaki was okay.

Kellari's happy hour is the best deal in town hands-down eight dollar martinis rail drinks wines super tasty small plates in a very civilized environment. This is not a dive. This is a beautiful restaurant right on K St. right next to Connecticut Avenue at the cross hairs of the business District, I am literally surprised, why there's not more people to this this is not a dive. This is a beautiful place. Highly recommended for happy hour - number one in town right now. Oh and it is 4-9 pm!!
A disappointing experience. Food quality is low. Grilled calamari was undercooked, half raw. Natural chicken was tasting like purchased from a grocery store to go food section. Tzatziki was prepared with garlic powder instead of fresh garlic. Fish was tasteless. A far cry from. Greek cuisine. I won't go again.

This review is only based on happy hour but there's plenty to rave about there. HH every day of the week from 3-9pm!!!! Amazing! I enjoyed a glass of sangria and a very nice apple bourbon cocktail. The food was awesome too. The octopus and grilled calamari were cooked right and well seasoned. The taziki dip is delicious. We also tried the baklava (not on the HH menu) and it was amazing! I am excited to go back!

A hidden gem.The food was excellent! flavorful, simple and fresh. The portions were generous, especially the calamari and seafood linguine. Lamb chops were tender and juicy!The ambiance was warm. Our waitress was knowledgeable, recommended a couple dishes and sweet!We will definitely be returning to try more dishes on the menu!

Food didn't taste particularly good given the price. We got the dinner course, which felt way too overpriced once we tried the food. The food was fine because it tasted like something I could whip up in a time crunch. For the main course, we had the lamb rack and sea bass. Lamb rack was half fat, and the potatoes under it were undercooked and slightly hard. The sea bass seasonal fish was just dry and lacked flavor except for a little drizzle of sauce on it. Pretty disappointing.I will say their greek yogurt dessert was really delicious, so probably the only reason why I'm not giving 1 star and our server was kind.

We used the Groupon for the prix fix dinner and it was excellent. We were told that we could substitute a drink for the dessert and we each got a lovely glass of Sauvignon Blanc. We had grilled calamari and the carrot ginger soup. Both were very good. We shared the lamb chops and spicy shrimp Linguini . The shrimp were large and really good. The sauce and pasta also was excellent. The lamb chops were delicate and very good. I highly recommend this. Groupon .
