Agapi lives up to the hype!From the delightful and knowledgeable staff to the authentic Greek vibes, they truly nail it. They understand the art of not rushing you out the door, giving you the full Greek experience.The outdoor atmosphere was perfect, complementing the weather perfectly. Now, let's get to the food—oh my, it's a whole other level! The pictures don't do justice to the amazing flavors. We went for the family meza selections and every bite was a delight. The Cervantes Crab stole the show with its rich flavor and generous crab portions. And don't get me started on the Octopus—it was like cutting through butter, tender and perfectly marinated. We're already planning our next visit to explore more of the menu!Thank you, Agapi, for a wonderful dining experience! ?

My partner and I went here as a date night and all we can say is that this place far beyond exceeded our expectations! Chris was our server and made excellent recommendations and descriptions of the food items. His knowledge of the menu was impressive. The April Special Pheasant we ordered as one of our main entrees was outstanding. THIS MUST BE ADDED to the core menu! All the flavors were delicate and precise. Amazing flavor. The appetizer of the Gyro Nachos were an unexpected change from most restaurants and were absolutely delicious, the best I have ever tried! We will be back again. Agapi, please keep up the amazing work you do to provide immaculate flavor to your guests!

Wow! This place is so amazing. Gyro nachos but made with pita bread (my favorite) Calamari fries, char grilled Octopus, elk tenderloin and ceared pheasant. Definitely will be back. If I'm picky I wouldn't order the char octopus because for us we couldn't taste anything but the char. The octopus was also very pricy for 4 peices. The happy hour menu was so delicious and very reasonable on price. Everything was so great no stars needed to be taken away, this was just my opinion on all the food. Amazing and delicious food.

We have been dining in Pensacola for 8+ years and this place was a hidden gem. The food was spectacular. The menu is large and slightly overwhelming, but just ask for what they are known for, and you won’t go wrong. We didn’t have one bad thing. The liquor selection could expand, but overall, it’s a great spot. Note - the restaurant is super small!

Loooove this place. This funky little spot offers so much to the food community of Pensacola. I went here once for my birthday and then again for my anniversary. The waitresses we've had during both visits have been very pleasant and it seems like the staff just really loves to welcome every customer with open arms. The food itself is an experience that's hard to pass up. From the ever changing menus to the wine flights, there's a little bit of everything for everyone. This last time we visited we gave the chef tour a try. The chef was kind and you could tell that he was passionate about the food and dishes he serves. This man is an excellent chef. He asks you if you have any food allergies and what items you may not be the biggest fan of in the food world and shapes your 4 courses to your taste while also offering combinations of flavors that are exciting and innovative. The only complaint I have about the restaurant is the size. The inside room is pretty snug, offering a few arrangements of tables and a singular unisex bathroom. There's outdoor seating that is very nice and more spacious, so you at least have some options. I recommend putting in a reservation -- this place gets packed quick!Very excited to come back. ?Parking: Parking is snug, but not imposssible.

This place has over the top food! We ate in their outside dining area and the experience was more than enjoyable. Our server was extremely skilled and well versed on the establishment. Birthday wishes were actually conveyed on the menu when we sat down at our table. Very thoughtful touch. Highly recommended!!

Run do not walk if you are looking for an AMAZING dining experience! My husband and I went for my Birthday last night and I am so glad we did. We have been before and have always been pleased BUT last night we decided to try the Chef's Blind Tasting menu. All I can say is WOW! Chef Lawrence is a culinary genius! We were skeptical at first as we didn't know what to expect. Chef Lawrence put our mind at ease by asking about our likes/dislikes and expectations. He presented each course with a detailed description but words didn't do justice to the sheer beauty of each plate or the flavor explosion they provided!. We started with the house made bread of the day (which was sunflower) served with tomato garlic butter. Our first course was his version of an African chicken mafe. (This should have a permanent spot on the menu it was that good!). Next came a sausage and swordfish rigatoni in a garlic mushroom sauce. I don't normally order pasta but I would order this again and again. Third course was a dry aged NY strip cooked to perfection served with truffle mash potatoes, broccolini and a Bordelaise sauce. The steak had such a wonderful smoky flavor and the sauce was to die for! Last but not least came dessert. I was served a decadent chocolate mousse with chantilly cream while my husband was served a wonderful flaky baklava with a rose simple syrup! Words and pictures can not explain how truly wonderful this experience was! I know some people may be leary to try the tasting menu because you don't know what you are getting. Trust me, just do it! You will NOT be disappointed! Chef Lawrence is a star and our server Kiley and the rest of the staff made this a night to remember!

A great place to get an interesting, delicious meal. They always have good vegan options for those who are so inclined. The vegan charcuterie blew my mind; asked the waitress several times if she didn’t get me the standard one by mistake.
