Used to be my favorite Greek restaurant. The quality of food has gone down quite a bit very disappointing. One of my favorite things was the grilled octopus. However  last time I had it, It was very salty not well cooked, the quality was not the same , very disappointing. We need to look for another Greek restaurant.

This was our go to place for great Greek food, ambiance and a belly dancer, but unfortunately last night wasn't it. We usually splurge on too many appetizers for us to finish and one thing is better than the next. But this time the food was lacking, service was less than attentive and the belly dancer was off for the night. The shrimp, octopus, calamari and scallops were all overcooked, hard and rubbery. What a disappointment

Felt rushed. Served wine and appetizer at the same time even though waiter said he was "managing our order." Entrees very good; Calamari appetizer poor - not breaded enough and too chewy. Good place if you want to finish a dinner in 45 minutes.

Hadn't been to the restaurant in quite some time. It's a bit expensive, but we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The 3 of us all ordered the bronzino which was fresh and delicious. Two of us asked for capers, and they gave it a little zing. The accompanying greens (Swiss chard) and rice were very good, as was the pita (served warm, sprinkled with rosemary ?) and hummus very tasty. And we had leftovers so I don't have to cook tonight! We'll definitely be back when we feel like splurging.

Taverna Kyma is back on my list of local delicious easy dinner choices. For some time I neglected this Greek house because it was just not the same. Not sure what changed but I can't wait to return; and I did, again this week for more of the Prawns, eggplant and salad. And by the way, their grilled grouper this week put me right back Oceanside in Santorini! So fresh and. perfectly grilled. My friends tried the chicken kebob and were pleased as well. The place is friendly, welcoming, and service is excellent. See you again next week!! CH

Decor pleasant and unchanged for many years. On open table special menu for restaurant included a glass of house wine and choice of soup or salad. The waiter stated that was last year. However that is why we went there, for there are loads of summer specials . This should be addressed by open table. Food especially the octopus was very good. Server was proficient. Will not be going back because felt the restaurant should have addressed the problem during visit.

We enjoyed the food very much. The greek salad is the best. and the zuccini chips are amazing
Richard
Food is always very good and the hummus and pita to start with are outstanding. The music in the background however just comes across as noise and gets in the way of having a conversation and having a much more pleasant experience.

My wife and I went to Kyma for my 85th birthday. We had been there many times and always had good experiences. This time was different and we will not be going back (one bad apple ruins the entire batch).
It was one thing after another:
Upon arrival, our reservation was not noted.
1) The waiter never took drink orders.
2) My wife asked for a glass of ice for her water and had to remind the waiter two or three times.
3) We had to ask two or three times for the complementary humus and pita.
4) The humus and pita arrived but at the same time as our salads.
6) Just as we finished the humus and salad the main courses arrived - we no chance to relax.
7) The food had to be put under heat lamps until we were ready to eat our main course.
We should have asked for the manager, but will not be going back.

Service and food were excellent. Happy Hour had several choices with good size portions. Outside was not as comfortable as inside.
Many times before, when going to Kyma, was frustrating because it was impossible to book for parties smaller than 4, but last night everything was great- from entering, to delicious seafood platter, hummus, friendly staff.
Mona
This wonderful place never disappoints! Love to come here for special occasions. The food is beyond excellent. Not cheap but not unreasonable
Dianne
The complimentary pita was delicious. We enjoyed the large prawn appetizer, the eggplant appetizer and Athenian Shrimp entree which was large enough to share.
Solomon
As always, the food was very good. The service was reasonably attentive. Taverna Kyma is consistently a nice Greek restaurant.
Veronica
Great service. Food was good, but a bit garlicky for our taste. Portions were huge. Feta was amazing. Salad delicious. Glad we were sitting outside as it was so loud inside. Belly dancer was a fun touch, but the music got turned up so loud we couldn't converse. Recommend serving rice or lemon potatoes instead of fries with the chicken kebabs, or offering a choice. We would go back again.
