Decent enough food for the price but nothing earth shattering. A lot more visually appealing then most restraunts.

I want to send a shout out to Olympia Café today, my husband Kevin & John Faulkner’s tradition was to go to Olympia Café on their birthday October 19th to have calamari. Today, my husband and I had lunch there and because our friend John Faukner is under hospice care he could not attend, but we thought we would take calamari to him. When I shared this story with the amazing man that was making the meal which come to find out was Nick‘s son. He insisted that this calamari was on the house!!!What a beautiful thing to do for our sweet friend John Faukner, so thank you again Olympia Café for being an amazing family restaurant and we are thankful to have you in Savannah for all the years that you’ve been here.
John said that the calamari was even better this year !!

I absolutely love Greek food My fiancé and I eat here regularly and we have never had a bad meal. The food is always amazing and authentic. No matter who has waited on us they have always been kind, courteous and very knowledgeable about the menu. My two favorite things are the saganaki and the Avgolemono soup I get them every time I go. I also love their lemon chicken my fiancé always gets their gyro as says they are the best.

10/8/25 Has a rustic charm. Went at 2 on a Wednesday. No problem getting seated. Great service.

I had the lamb chops. Ok... pricey... but so good. Medium-well done. Perfect. Marinated. Asked for no additional seasoning. Very good. Sides were a lemon rice/pea dish. Creamy but not dairy. Good.. but the lemon was a bit much after several bites. Red potatoes with lemon flavor. Too much lemon flavor on the plate for me. Husband enjoyed the rice and potatoes from me! Good bread. Husband had the chicken kabobs dinner, so without the wrap. He said it was very good. Served with crinkle fries which were good. I want to go back and try the gyro and baklava. Definitely will go back.

This is the only restaurant we eat at whenever we are in Savannah. We have been coming here for decades, the food, the Service in the ambience are authentic Greek.
The appetizers ,kebabs, salads, the seafood, the Greek specialties, and the desserts are perfectly Prepared and presented.
Mr. Vasili Make sure that every customer feels like they are special almost like you’re eating in someone’s home.
The staff, especially Charms and Katie, Go out of their way to give you that special individualized kind of service that you only receive at the best restaurants.
we noticed over the years that the large majority of clientele are local citizens, which always indicates to us a great place to eat.

The falafel appetizer was seriously good—crispy, flavorful, and probably my favorite thing on the menu. We also tried the lemon chicken and the kabob dinner, and both were delicious. Everything was well-seasoned and cooked just right.
The vibe of the place is great too—really welcoming with a nice atmosphere that makes you want to hang out a bit longer. And bonus: there’s a gelato and ice cream spot right next door, which is perfect if you’re in the mood for something sweet after your meal. Definitely a place worth checking out.

I recently dined at this fantastic Greek restaurant, and I can't recommend it enough! The highlight was the red snapper, which was absolutely delicious. Everyone at the table raved about the perfectly cooked potatoes; they were a definite standout.

For the main courses, the moussaka and pastitsio were both incredible; each bite was packed with flavor. We also tried the grilled feta appetizer, and it was a true fire show—an impressive and tasty start to our meal.

Erin was our server and really went about and beyond to make the meal great. Owner stopped by to our table of 8 making us feel the love.

If you're in the mood for authentic Greek cuisine, this place is a must-visit!

Food is super fresh and it is some of the best Greek food I have had! Had the Gyro dinner with a Greek salad. Everything was very well seasoned without being overly greasy and salty. If you are on River Street, I definitely recommend it!

The best traditional Greek food ever. We went twice in 1 week, it is that good. Hannah (or Anna?) was our Server and she was great: she listened and was attentive and kind. The Owner, Vasilis, came to our table both times to check on us. He is very kind and genuinely cares about his Patrons. The first time we went, we ordered Tarama and the Greek Village Salad. The Tarama is the best we have ever had. It's creamy, whipped, light and flavorful. The Greek Village salad was delicious and full of flavor. The second time we went, we got the Tarama and Greek Village again, because it was that good. We also got the Branzino. It was amazing. It was flaky and perfectly cooked. Both meals felt like we were at a restaurant in Greece, cooked by a Greek chef or Grandma.

My friend and I are visiting from San Diego and were recommended this place by our tour guide.

WHAT AN ABSOLUTE WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. Like many others have said in reviews you can feel the local atmosphere and they make you feel apart of the family. The whole place feels so moody and authentic, everyone around you plays into the fun. The owner was so attentive and assured that we’d leave with a big smile, full tummy, and a story to tell. We had the pleasure of sitting next to Patty and Denis who seemed to be local celebs at the restaurant lol. They were the most interesting people I’d met and shared local lore and gave us advice on what to order on the menu. I felt so at home and they graciously shared parts of their meal out of excitement for us trying out one of their favorite spots. We could’ve stayed all night just soaking in the vibes. Our server Richard did a fantastic job at making us feel comfortable and maintain the playfulness of the restaurant.This is where the heart of the city lives and you’d be making a mistake not visiting this Gem and the city would be making a mistake not renewing their lease.

I got the Greek salad with gyro meat and it was delicious!!! My partner had never had authentic Greek before and he's sold because of this place. Our server was attentive and so sweet. Great place to stop and eat.
