Walker Bro's was closed so on a whim, I changed the cuisine to Greek and was recommended Taverna Naxos; a hop, skip and a jump away. Walked in blind to any expectations and immediately was stunned by the ambiance, esthetics and cleanliness of the restaurant! I was the only patron and confused if they were even open. Michael, assured me that they were and gave me carte blanche on seating. The chef personally handed me a plate of bread and hummus and the flavor profile knocked my world off balance! When the Tzatziki & Kedfeh (Greek meatballs) arrived, my world stopped spinning in orbit. Each ingredient tasted as if it was hand selected earlier in the day!

The bathrooms were immaculate. The menu & specials looked as if they had just been taken out for their maiden voyage! This has got to be a date night hot spot, if it's not, do it!

I'm curious if they bring the ruckus under pressure of a full house but by look of it, they mean serious Greek business! Thank you, Michael, Head Chef & Taverna Naxos staff for altering my mood with the experience!

The food is outstanding. One of the best Greek restaurants I have ever been to. Some of the dishes that we all ordered-grouper, grilled octopus, saganaki, stuffed peppers, pork slouvaki. The food was so pure and fresh.
The service was perfect. Our waiter was so nice and helpful. The outdoor area was beautiful. We will definitely be returning. Thank you.

The food here is absolutely fantastic! We just returned from Greece, and the food here is just as good. Highly recommend! The service is excellent as well. We look forward to returning.

We had the dips, spanakopita, beets salad, octopus, scallops, and grouper. All of them were amazing!

I was very disappointed in the lamb chops. Some of the chops I was served were just bones with hardly any meat. I wish I would have taken photos. I was expecting more from this place especially since they had good reviews.

This spot has indoor and outdoor seating. Clean and cute nautical atmosphere with nods to Greece. Food portions are very generous, well seasoned, and yummy. Looking forward to going back. My favorite part is they designed with the intention that you can hear the conversation at your table. Few resturants bother with good acoustic.

As someone from Gujarat, I was excited to try their take on Gujarati food — the khatti-meethi dal and sabzi reminded me of Navratri thalis back home.

We visited this place yesterday for the first time. Made reservations and listed dining room as my preferred option after carefully reading reviews and seeing pictures online. We were celebrating a birthday and were excited to visit Taverna Naxos. When we showed up, the dining room looked lively with a great atmosphere but we were taken to the second floor as the only party (4ppl), dead place, no staff, no other guests, for 1.5 hours we were the only party in the second floor, while food was good, the atmosphere was a complete opposite. Waiter checked on us regularly but, we did not get the attention we were expecting. It was extremely awkward as we were completely alone in the second floor. Will not be returning.

Solid Greek restaurant experience with friendly service and decent food. For apps we had the Greek salad which was nothing unique, Saganaki for which I would say the same, and octopus which was superb but more expensive than my entree. My entree was the baked chicken which was just average. The room was full and loud.
Though I enjoyed the experience of dining with good friends, there are other Greek restaurants in the vicinity with tastier food for less money. I will likely not return soon.
