My wife and are old school so we were not sure what to expect. Met my daughter and her boyfriend there for her birthday, she loves the place. My wife and I were not expecting to find anything we would like. I let my daughter order, I could have been satisfied with the tomato salad, the chicken was delicious and the pita breads were delicious. We will be back. Toughest part is parking.

You don't go to Bar Vlaha for clichés. There's no Santorini-blue decor or tourist-friendly platters. This place reaches deeper. Past the postcard islands into the forests and hills of Northern Greece, where Vlach shepherds turned necessity into the roots of Greek cooking. The room is alive. Not loud, not forced. Just humming. Art lines the walls with the ease of a place that knows who it is. You half expect someone's grandmother to walk out of the kitchen, towel...

Staff was knowledgeable and accommodating. They sat us inside rather than waiting for an outdoor table that we had reserved. Food was well prepared despite the lamb leg being cooked a little more than I would have liked.
