First time there and below average. Was surprised since I’ve enjoyed the Hen House (sister restaurant)very much. Meat in uvetsi dish was tough, don’t understand how they called it “filet.” Sauce average and too much orzo. No accompaniments, no bread or crackers on table Be prepared to change your clothes as soon as you get home, ours were imbued with food smells even though we weren’t sitting by kitchen.

Another great family night at Molos. Service was fantastic as usual. Bob is a great server. He made good recommendations. Appetizers and dinner were spaced out nicely. Lamb burger always good as was the gyros flight. My husband had the chicken Ala feta and said it was fantastic. Big portions. We ordered baklava cheesecake to go. Always good.

One of our group didn't feel well when we arrived and the staff quickly took care of her. It was very much appreciated! We love to take friends to Molos because it's always a fantastic experience and the food is delicious! I highly recommend Molos!

Thank you Molos for a wonderful evening. We hosted a small birthday celebration with 20 people. The room was cozy and private and since we had dined before we knew the food would be awesome. We did appetizers of course. The Baked Feta was a huge hit as well as the Saganaki of course. We ordered Greek Salad for each table and our guests ordered off the menu. I’m sure it was a challenge for the kitchen but they handled it very well and everyone enjoyed their meal. We had one server, who’s name I did not get, (may fault). She was awesome! In the end the entire night could not have gone better and even with drinks, wine, and desserts, ordered as our guests desired, the price was very reasonable. We all highly recommend Molos!!

Imagine it’s dinner time. You enter the restaurant and see plenty of open tables. But instead you get whisked thru a labyrinth of hallways, thru the kitchen (you heard me) and finally seated in the adjoining room they use for breakfast. No Greek theme, no Greek music playing like in the main rooms, no Greek ambiance of any kind - unless you feel like wolfing down some biscuits and gravy - and yup… we got attitude. Now don’t you think in times like this these restaurant owners would be trying to win you over? Will not be back.

Service was really bad . A water bottle was practically “dropped “ off at the table with two glasses stacked on each other and the person delivering this barely acknowledged us . The Server clearly didn't want to be there either and didn't greet us nor ask if we wanted to place a drink order ... just said: “what do you want “?. Food was okay but bland. Not like other Greek food we've had. Huge disappointment .

Absolutely delicious Greek food! The best saganaki I have ever tasted. The restaurant was busy, and the waitstaff was very courteous, although we did have to ask for some things more than twice. But I'm chalking that up to the busy night they had. I've been there other times when it wasn't so busy and received exemplary service.

Bobby, our server, is very personable. He knows the menu and makes fantastic suggestions. The ambiance is great, I feel like I'm in Santorini when I go there! The food is excellent! You have to check it out!

Had a reservation for a Saturday night for my wife's birthday. We arrived a little early which was not a problem because they had open tables. They wanted to sit us by the door but I asked for a different table. Tables for 2 are very small!We were greeted by our server Bob who was very nice but seemed rushed. We told him it was our first time and he asked if we were celebrating anything. We told him a birthday.We started with a bottle of their Greek red wine which was amazing except he spilled some on our appetizer plates and never brought back new ones.Since my wife is Gluten free,they have many good items to choose from which is a plus.Started with the cold appetizer tasting plate Pikilia. We had the Taramosalta which consisted of whipped Greek cod and potatoes ( Our favorite) ,Tirokafteri which was whipped Spicey feta and Skordalia which was whipped potatoes and garlic. (Our least favorite)Came with gluten free pita .Our main entrees were Souvlaki with chicken and pork. It comes with fries but we asked to substitute the fries for their Molos Greek potatoes. I think the server got confused because we got both and paid extra.Also had the Greek pork chops with roasted potatoes. Very good but could have had a dipping sauce as they were slightly dry.Would have loved to give them 5 stars as the food is amazing but service is lacking. Empty plates are not cleaned in a timely manner and since they close at 9pm you feel rushed. Plus they never acknowledged my wife's birthday when other patrons received a free dessert.We will definitely be back ,maybe in the summer when they have outdoor seating to try a few more of their authentic homemade Greek dishes.

My group picked this new place based on excellent recommendations. Sadly, that was not our experience. All three meats, lamb, pork, and chicken were overcooked. Service was very slow.
