Sadly, the restaurant burned down along with Sauce, next door. Will miss their delicious food and friendly staff.

Great menu, experiential bar. Reasonable prices given the high quality of the meal. My wife and I will be back again!

Brunch was great, and the bartender Laina is a delight.

Really nice new place in town. Food is very solid (a tad oversalted to my taste, but I like less salt in general), bartender is VERY good, able to mix drinks off the menu and not only make them tasty, but come up with original creative designs.

Wow! Superb dining experience all around. Absolutely delicious food, jam-packed with flavor. We had the octopus, shrimp, and hummus appetizers, swordfish, short rib, and pork pasta entrees, with perfectly paired drinks and amazing desserts. Truly exceptional. Definitely will visit again soon!

Went for brunch. It's very dark so on a sunny day not really a fun atmosphere. The brunch menu was a confusing mix of american/southern/Mediterranean options.As a foodie I was confused. Walking into a greek Cafe I expect frappe, amita juice, crepe sweet and savory, loukoumades and some type of Nutella concoction. Instead we got pulled pork, chicken and waffles and a burger.The service was excellent! I cannot stress enough how friendly and attentive. Prices aren't the first thing I look at when ordering. I'm looking for different, I'm looking for something I wouldn't make at home and going to a Greek Cafe- I'm looking for Greek. I ordered a side of avacado with my burger and got 3 thin slices arranged from large to small for $5. I know prices have gone up but when choosing between a gallon of gas or 3 slices of avacado....that's ridiculous . The food was tasty it's just not greek.

Not sure why there are not more reviews on here but this place is soooo good. Went for dinner with a friend tonight and the drinks, dinner, and apps were all outstanding. The octopus was so good and is a must try! It's great to have a new restaurant in town that is not the same exact food as all of the normal go to places.

What a fantastic addition to the somewhat monotonous Andover dining scene. Great food, interesting cocktails and a phenomenal staff. Tables are nice but sitting at the bar is fun.

Love the new look and Greek menu. The food is approachable and delicious. Andover needed a new restaurant that is top quality and affordable for any night of the week.

Had dinner here for the first time tonight. What a great spot! My whiskey sour was fresh and expertly made. For entrees we had the swordfish (perfectly cooked) and the roast chicken which was tender, juicy and included chunks of focaccia bread that was soaked in the pan sauce and absolutely delicious. Topped off with a light and creamy creme brûlée. Our server, Dan, was attentive and professional and our meals were served promptly. We will definitely be back!

Came to Daxi expecting Greek Cuisine. It’s way too expensive and the food is not good and not authentic. I got the shrimp saganaki appetizer and it’s not saganaki. My wife and I got two gyros - $48 for 2 gyros with fries. The gyro meat wasn’t good, the tzatziki was tahini. The fries were under a heat lamp and not crispy. Honest to god, a good gyro might be $12 maybe $14, but $24 here and not good. Kids pasta only came with butter, no sauce so they got chicken tenders and fries - they didn’t touch it after the first bite. I bit the chicken and it tasted bad. Can’t imagine this place will last without significant improvements. Too bad too, I’d like an authentic Greek restaurant in the neighborhood

Could not have been more pleased with my experience at this new restaurant. The waiter was very helpful with selection of a lamb entree, in preference over another, and a glass of excellent Cabernet Sauvignon over another, more expensive choice. The lamb entree was one of the tastiest dishes in memory,with a blend of meat, vegetables and a sprinkling of feta. The field greens salad was similarly outstanding. Its ingredients were fresh and had a piquancy of their own, which complemented the dressing. The creme brulee dessert was good. I look forward to return visits at this soon to be discovered neighborhood gem.

A wonderful array of equisitely prepared greek isle/Mediterranean fair. The bar had a great ambience of chocolate wood and dim lights. Shareable appetizers such as the grilled octopus, tabbouleh salad, shrimp saganaki, and a flat bread pizza with a runny egg, all delicious. The mains were also well crafted, pan seared salmon with black lentil and pork souvlaki. Well worth the visit and a great addition to the downtown Andover esting scene!!
