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...

The Greek music and atmosphere were classic and welcoming. The service was attentive and helpful. The grouper was the best grouper I've ever had. The saganaki was fine, but not set aflame at the table, so I missed the drama. The scordalia was potato-based, a bit olive-oily, and very mild. It was fresh and well-made, but not my preferred style. The fasolakia were fresher tasting, less well cooked, or maybe not cooked in as much oil, as is traditional. I liked them anyway.

Love the menu and the food at this place. This is the second time we've been here and I LOVE their stuffed squid. The service was a bit slow this time but we weren't in a rush. One major drawback is that there's NO changing table in either bathroom, and there is no countertop so changing a baby is impossible.
