“good quality fresh food 🥒🍅“

“Great food and excellent service. John was fantastic. 100% recommend“

“Great place with superb food , friendly staff, and great service. Highly recommended!👍👍👍👍👍“

“Would recommend for a glass of wine and appetizer! Stopped in for dinner and the food was tasty but felt overpriced for the portions. The shrimp dish was good but shrimp were slightly overcooked and felt like a very expensive starter. The hummus was delish! Wine was great and cocktail was less than amazing.“

“Just an incredible restaurant - amazing food out of this world our server was simply impressive with one month on the job - I can't say enough good things about him. I will always be back !!!“

“We love their food!! Everything we've tried, we love.“

“Came here for a girls’ night out and had a wonderful time. Great service. For Tuesdays, bottles of wine are half-price. Yay! Plan on coming back soon!“

“Came for brunch and it was such a pleasant experience. It wasn't super crowded. Service was top tier! The Brunch Mania menu $38/person is FIRE. The table comes with a free bowl of feta & herb hush puppies w/ a harissa butter spread that had justtt the right kick to it. You get to choose 1 plate from 3 different lists, and order your lower priced adult beverages. My go to was their mimosa...It was definitely more champagne than OJ 😁 25cents a glass!“

“Food is amazing ! I just got back from Athens and this is exactly as it is back there! So good !!!“

“First time going to this restaurant. Monday night so pretty empty only like 6 people eating. The 2 waitresses luse and Sophia were awesome very attentive and quick. Food was great and with the music it felt like I was in Greece. Would recommend for those who want to try Greek food.“

“The Hercules Burger is really good“

“Su atención con los clientes“

“The food is amazing and the staff is so friendly.“

“We just had a wonderful meal at Mylos. There were 6 of us and 2 children. We all had great meals and service was excellent. They accommodated our request to modify and make 2 of us lamb souvlaki and it was really good. Very nice cozy atmosphere.“

“outstanding. Absolutely delicious. So fresh.Great value. Wonderful addition for Hagerstown. A ++++“

“We ate here during a week of house-hunting from out of town. This place is exactly the type of neighborhood restaurant we enjoy: good food, relaxed attitude. We had lamb shish kabob and trout stuffed with spinach and both were perfectly done. We ate on the patio at 8 pm and had no issues with mosquitoes mentioned in another review. The place was full and lively but not too loud and we had no wait. Just felt right in every sense. We ended up buying a house a few blocks away and expect to be regulars here.“

“Absolutely amazing food, atmosphere, and service! My new favorite restaurant in DC. Food is tasty and authentic. Staff is friendly, responsive, and timely. And the restaurant is clean, nicely decorated, and spacious with plenty of seating inside and out. The Adana Lebab, Turkish tea, and Backlava are must-tries. A+++“

“One of my favorite lunch spots in the downtown area - the gyro is absolutely to die for. I do wish prices were slightly lower (gyros start at $16), but I also understand it’s an independent restaurant in a high-rent area of DC. The owners are super sweet as well“

“Their signature thing The Gyro is spot on copious gyro meat balanced well with tomatoes, onions and tzatki. The side Greek Salad was tasty but heavy on the greens and a real Greek salad is cucumbers, tomatoes, feta, green peppers. I ordered way too much as the Gyro is a lot. Enjoy! Opa!!
PS Dolmades are cooked fresh when you order and are hot which was me to me, but also spot on. A really good side if you like Dolmades.“

“In recent years there seems to be a proliferation of small-plate Mediterranean restaurants. But Yayla remains as one of the best, reasonably priced originals in northern Virginia. There is a pleasing range of mezzes, salads, entrees hot and cold, flat breads, spreads, etc . I had a Yayla mule, 3 spreads, lemony rice soup and superb shrimp. Friends chose a range of other dishes. I can guarantee whatever you choose, you won’t be disappointed. Everything is flavorful, fresh and beautifully presented. Wait staff and servers are friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and not obtrusive. Don’t miss the nice selection of creative cocktails, wine variety and desserts. Continued success and best wishes for this popular bistro!“

“Good food good staff. Will come Again.“

“The food is excellent! The service is average, but they are always willing to accommodate if you are allergic to something. The atmosphere is not the greatest in terms of dining in but the staff is very friendly! Just keep in mind the food is good and tasty. FYI the best item on the menu is the Greek Special Fish 🐟 - Branzino is absolutely amazing and full of flavor once you squeeze the lemon on it! 😋“

“the best chicken gyro platter. everything is fresh and made to order the staff are very friendly ask for mike super nice guy. if he's not available his son and daughter in law should be they will take care of you!!“

“Good food,great service.Love going there.“

“Greco is, without a doubt, the best Greek food I’ve ever tasted. The dishes are incredibly flavorful, with every bite transporting me straight to what I experienced when I visited Greece. I make it a point to visit this restaurant whenever I’m in the Georgetown area, as it never fails to impress.

What truly elevates the experience is the exceptional service. Mezker, in particular, is a standout. He greets me with a warm, welcoming smile every time and goes above and beyond to ensure I have a fantastic dining experience. His kindness, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality make each visit even more special. I’d give him a well-deserved 5 stars for his impeccable service. Greco has become a must-visit spot for me, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking authentic and delicious Greek cuisine.“

“Delicious Greek food! Really good dips and toppings to add on bowls, best tzatziki and hummus I have had. The chicken is very tasty. Great variety of Greek desserts. Perfect location with parking and close to metro. Good food / good price. Nice and welcoming staff. 😀“

“Fantastic food, great atmosphere. The branzino was delicious. The lambs chops were perfectly cooked and well seasoned. The lamb shanks were tender and yummy. The best part was our server. He was friendly and fun. He never missed a beat. Will definitely be back.“

“Outstanding in dining experience. I then had Mazi prepare a platter of meatballs for a House Parry that was a major hit ! A new go to restaurant in DC“

“Highly recommend the McLean Family Special. They season the chicken amazingly and our it with fresh veggies and real mashed potatoes. The staff are very nice as well!“

“Greatest food place in Maryland with the best vibes!! George & Maria, you are the greatest! Keep up the good work!“

“I stop in here from time to time for late breakfast or lunch while at work and each time I leave with exactly what I ordered. Very consistent and affordable spot that used to take only cash and now takes card - which is nice. Some limited outside seating is available but this place is mainly a takeout location. Menu has all the standard breakfast items and they are available all day. The biscuits and gravy are basic but hit that homestyle taste for a bargain. I've never ventured outside of their breakfast food but I have no reason to doubt it's quality. If you need a quick and affordable breakfast/lunch this is your spot just south of DuPont Circle and by the Farragut Red Line Metro.“

“Absolutely phenomenal! Get the rice pudding for dessert, I swear you will love it! Light orange flavor that accents the thick milky rice pudding, definitely not your Grandmother’s rice pudding!
Everything we ordered was amazing but I am going to have dreams of that rice pudding until the day I die it was so amazing.“

“Hidden gem of a shop, literally as you have to navigate through an office building to get there. The presumably owner was wonderful and very helpful, he also emphasized his use of extra virgin olive oil for health. I don’t think the Chicken Msakhen I got was on the online menu, but so so tasty.

More of a takeout shop than a date night vibe, but it does have free WiFi! Please consider giving them your business, it’s so worth it“

“Supergezellige vibe. Er was een wijn promo (50% korting per fles!) en ze hebben lekker Belgisch bier. We hebben er niet gegeten, maar ik zou er zeker voor terugkomen. Er was op het moment dat wij er waren een jazzbandje dat speelde. Dit was een beetje luid, maar als je wilt babbelen kan je dat doen op het ruime terras“

“The owner is very nice he’s a local. Yes pictures of old Arlington up. The food is very good I got a steak and cheese sandwich. Very good.“

“Ate here on a Saturday night with friends. Reservations would be recommended as it's a small cozy place. Had delicious (warm but not hot) moussaka, tiramisu, and a Cabernet. Enjoyed the food and wine very much. Service was decent, not great. They obliged us with separate checks. Slight discount for paying in cash. Bill came to $35. Plenty of parking in the rear. Would go back again.“

“Ordered burgers, fries & pizza. Burger was raw, bun falling apart. Had to throw burger in trash. Pizza (original) was ok“

“I was working late and was sooo hungry this was one of the few places I was able to find and eat just before 2 am. I was very pleased with the way the staff still chose to take my order even though they were closing in less than 10 minutes. They didn't offer anything old and didn't complain when I decided to order a fresh small pizza ??“
