It was a beautiful day, the weather was great! It was a Friday night. Me and my friend went there early, We ordered food. My friend got the baked chicken and potatoes I ordered a sandwich. My friend got her baked chicken after waiting probably 40 minutes for it. I waited over an hour for my sandwich. People that were waiting in line after me got their food. I was still waiting...... Not sure what happened to my sandwich. The poor wait staff tried to help me by asking where my sandwich was. Nobody knew where it was. We spent enough money to not have to wait over an hour for a sandwich!!! And then when they finally made it they acted like it was normal to wait that long! They were more concerned about the people coming in that had ordered food for takeout. Didn't compensate anything for making me wait over an hour either. So I think their customer service was horrible! Normally when you Make someone wait that long You would compensate them with maybe a free dessert or something. But nope.... Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zero. I don't think I'll be going back there anytime soon. I think you just lost my business by putting a bad taste in my mouth by making me wait over an hour just for a simple sandwich. I used to love going there, but not anymore. How very sad. If you're going to take care of your customers you have to take care of EVERYONE! ?

We ordered in; you order at the counter. I presumed that would mean service was so-so, and I was very wrong. It had phenomenal service the whole meal through. The staff stopped at our table no less than 6 times through the meal even though the place was busy! It has a family dinner feel and was very cozy and enjoyable. The food was so tasty!

Their Frittata special was hands down the best I’ve had. Along with a great garlic potato salad. Forgot to say something before we left. My compliments to the chef!

Nice Mediterranean/Greek Cafe in LaGrange Park. The food is fantastic, and I had the vegetarian trio, totally authentic, like in Greece. Also, I got some of the avgolemono soup to take home to my parents. They loved it, the best soup they have had in a long time. Will definitely be coming back to try more dishes on the menu.

Food and atmosphere are spectacular!!!! Reminds me so much of Greece!!!!! But what really sells this place is the INCREDIBLE service. I have a lot of allergies and the staff personally checked in to make sure everything was ok and was beyond kind and accommodating. I can not recommend this place enough

Went in, you have to place your order at the counter and your food is brought to you. I ordered the Trio Plate, it has Dolmades, Pastichio, Spanakopita and rice. I also ordered the chicken with rice and lemon soup. The soup, it had very little rice or chicken and was overly lemony and salty. My main plate arrived quickly and you could tell was warmed up in the microwave. The outer layer had a darkened crust to it that you get when you microwave a plate full of food. The food was kind of crunchy and really hot on the outside and cook on the inside. Everything was overtly salted. I had also ordered a rice pudding to go. I ate that later at home and it was weird in texture but tasted ok. The only other time I had eaten here was a to go order near closing. It was a similar experience but I wanted to try it again to see if maybe since they were closing and it was to go it accounted for how the meal was. I’m not so sure if I will be coming back again.

Really cute place right in La Grange! It feels like we're eating at someone's grandma's house, it's so cozy! The food is absolutely delicious as well. I had a baked fish dish and it was so flavorful with some delicious grains. They also have a very wide selection of wine! The atmosphere is nice, like I'm eating in a small town in Italy. Anyways, I would highly recommend for some mediterranean cuisine. It hit's the spot, and the atmosphere is one-of-a-kind
