This Greek stop provides a good menus selection and brings some of the best service I've seen in years.

Barba Yianni did a fantastic job with our dishes and sent us into the evening very happy.
August 2025
One of my all time favorite restaurants, 20+ years going strong, with Greek taverna classics. Can’t beat the outdoor patio in the summer, and great vibe indoors as well. Standouts include grilled octopus, kolokithakia, spaghetti, charbroiled chicken and perhaps the best lamb chops (pictured) I have had in the US.
