Xenia is easily in my top three restaurants! The service is always exceptional, and the staff really goes above and beyond to make sure you're comfortable and well taken care of. The portions are great and the food is consistently amazing. I brought two of my Greek family friends to Xenia for dinner recently and they were ecstatic about the quality and authenticity of their meals (they also especially liked the spanakopita and dolmades). The ambience is great and there is so much attention to detail in the space, and even during a Thursday night happy hour the volume level was very moderate. Highly recommend!
Beautiful restaurant and fantastic food. Excellent service from Nas! It is a special place to bring anyone to celebrate a birthday!
Xenia has become our favorite restaurant in the Columbia area. Everything about them is excellent, from the service to the wine and especially the food which is always phenomenal. I almost always get their fresh fish which I absolutely love, I cannot recommend them highly enough.
We had a fabulous time during our quarterly celebration for our office. We had a delightful server whose name I cannot remember unfortunately but every item we had to eat was top notch. I especially loved the grilled octopus, cocktails, and branzino. The greek doughnut dessert was the perfect end to our delicious meal.
Wonderful spot for an anniversary dinner! They set us up in a curvy booth that was really cozy! Food and service excellent too!
The weather was pleasant and the Restaurant seemed quite noisy so we opted to eat outside, which was lovely. Service is always attentive and the evening very relaxing, we are always there longer than at other restaurants. But it is not because the service is slow, it's just conducive to a more relaxed pace. The food is beautifully presented and always excellent, with a wide variety of choices. I had the Branzini while my husband had the mousaka and my brother had the crabcake, which was huge! All were delicious!  Appetizers were shared, calamari, and one of the Greek ones which was especially delicious. There is no room for dessert, but I have had there pastry balls dipped in, honey in the past and they are wonderful. I highly recommend this restaurant, it is somewhat pricey, but well worth it is especially nice for a special occasion for a date night when you can just relax and enjoy each other's company.
All of the food was delicious, love the ambiance and service was exceptional. Very expensive so look forward to returning but only for very special occasions.
Great food and atmosphere. The bar area has a great authentic vibe to it. The Flaming Cheese is a must try!
The beet salad was excellent as was the chocolate martini. Was disappointed I. The Bronzino. It lacked flavor and was over priced.
Ana was exceptionally accommodating & made the best drinks. ATMOSPHERE stellar 100%. Totally recommend

Wow, I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed Xenia yet! It’s the best place for Mediterranean food in Howard County.
The portions are generous, and the food is fresh and delicious. I’ve tried everything on the menu, including the Shrimp Santorini, Lobster Ravioli, Beet Salad, Dip Sampler, Filet, Crab Cake, Tuna Appetizer, and Moussaka.
The filet is the most tender I’ve ever had! Check my reviews, I’ve had a lot. The drinks are strong! The crab cake was almost all lump with minimal filler.
The service is great too. Any delays were met with sincere apologies from our waiter. The manager or owner even came to each table to check in.
The restaurant is stunning and a great place for a date, family dinner, or evening with friends.
I highly recommend Xenia. It’s pricey, but it’s worth it.
Xenia is a surprisingly nice spot for Columbia—honestly feels more like something you’d expect to find in DC. The vibe inside is great, even though the location is a little off the beaten path.
When I first came in 2021, the service was amazing—super attentive and friendly. Lately, though, it’s felt like that part has slipped a bit. Still, the dinner menu holds up and is consistently good. The lunch specials, on the other hand, are hit or miss.
My go-to is always the pasta and fish (flown in from Greece), and my husband’s is the lamb. A great option if you’re looking for a nicer night out without heading into the city.
The food, service, and atmosphere at Xenia Greek Kouzina is always top tier! The food is always fresh and delicious; I'd recommend any dish with fish, crab meat, and lobster. The wait staff are exceptional and always aim to please. This is one of my favorite restaurants and I'm never disappointed when I dine here.
Great food, great experience. A bit overpriced, but I would still highly recommend
Had a lovely meal at Xenia this evening made even better by our amazing waiter Frank. The food was excellent, as were the cocktails. Frank was the perfect amount of attentive without being overbearing. The olive oil cake... so good. Highly recommended all around.
