It was our first visit to this restaurant. The hostess greeted us all promptly along with the chef/owner! Our waiter Robert explained the special and answered our menu questions. The soup, falafel and delicious dinners were fabulous. Also delivered to our table along with the chef. Nice, personal touch. We were all very pleased with our meals and agreed we will be back. Thank you for a lovely evening of dining.

"I love the relaxed feel of this place – like a comfortable dining room in a friends home. I definitely would return to try more dishes. Everyone loved the appetizers. Service was well-timed and friendly, wines were affordable." The Baklava was so delicious.

Excellent meal in small venue. Attentive waiter. Great recommendations from the waiter. Save room for the baklava!

This is a place that you must try. The food and service were outstanding. Everything we ordered was "5" star. The only issue was the noise level. Difficult at times to carry on a conversation. To be fair, we were there when the restaurant was full (and it is a fairly small space). We definitely will go back when we have guests in town!!

Food, service, wine selection are super. Only small negative is the ceiling light over the tables is quite bright, not exactly romantic!

Waiter was very personable, friendly, helpful, Greek salad very good, but it was an entree size, too much and too expensive to have with an entree, the swordfish was excellent also, but pricey.

I was pleasantly surprised by the fine dining experience at this small restaurant! The food was absolutely fantastic, and the service was top-notch. I'm already planning to return next time.

Great place to have a good meal. Service was outstanding. We had a wonderful time. I tried for the first time, Baba ghanoush & tapenade, both were delicious.

The best Mediterranean food in the area, so delicious. The service was superbly done by the owner. The place is super clean and cozy but not too small. The menu offers a good selection of red and white wines as well as beers. I highly recommend the mix grilled as the entree dish.

What a great restaurant. Can you park at a strip mall and you walk in and it's like you're in a whole different world. Very nicely decorated very classy. Excellent menu food is fantastic and the service was just as good. Highly recommend it.

My best friend and I stopped here for lunch because we heard they had an octopus dish and were intrigued. We were not disappointed in the least!! The octopus is an amazing plate that looks just as wonderful as it tastes, with an incredible grilled flavor and buttery taste, plus a lemony sauce which pairs beautifully. We also shared the sample mezze and chose tzatziki, baba ganoush, shakshouka and dolmadaki, all of which came with a plate of warm pita cut into triangles. What a sampler! The flavors of everything were on a whole other level of exquisite. To finish we had the limoncello gelato with a blueberry compote that ended the meal perfectly, with a fresh lemon flavor that cleansed the palate nicely. Our waiter was attentive without being pushy and we were able to relax and enjoy the meal at a leisurely pace. It was a lovely experience in a delightful place staffed by the most caring people. We will definitely be back to try more!!

We went to dinner here after seeing a movie on Saturday night. The food was delicious. The seafood special was really awesome. Love this place. Great for date night.
