Its Greek To Me Taverna E Parea

I worked in LynLake for almost 5 years and I never tried this place, which is such a shame because now that I have, I can't wait to go back. Such lovely service and not a single bad bite. I'm going to be dreaming about the baklava for years.

Finally got around to trying this place and man, let me tell you, it exceeded all expectations. You wouldn’t expect the glamorous, immersive, and cozy interior ambience you get from its plain exterior. Walking in, you’ll find arched entryways, bright murals, and Greek artifacts tastefuly adorning the walls. I felt transported. Service was very friendly and we felt well taken care of. The food is authentic and oh so flavorful. I highly recommend the rich htipiti appetizer, the juicy sovlaki chicken kebabs, and decadent walnut-filled baklava. The menu is trulu awesome. I wanted to try everything. You can’t go wrong! Easy 5 stars. İ hope to be back soon.

We went into this building thinking it was a different restaurant and decided to stay anyways. The staff was amazing and the food was delicious. The atmosphere was great and I really enjoyed the food there. We were even given a complimentary dish in the middle of our service which was also delicious. Will definitely be visiting again.

Restaurant week review - We enjoyed our visit quite a bit. Kudos to them for having a very robust restaurant week menu. Some other places we've tried seem to be a tad on the skimpy side. Not here - I felt their intent was to give a good overview of their menu and leave you feeling satiated. We tried 3 apps - all tasty, loved the Htipiti perhaps the best, but the other 2 were delicious as well.Of the 2 entrees offered, we tried both. The chops, albeit a bit small, were cooked perfectly with a pink center. The braised lamb was so tender and flavorful. The meals came with a side, spinach pie and pita bread. A filling meal.The desserts were very good and the traditional choices. Love baklava, a small piece but probably for the best!The restaurant is comfortable, service was great and the chef even stopped by to get our feedback. We felt welcome and hope to return!I believe there is street parking but we did the inexpensive pay lot in the back which is convenient.

Amazing Greek food and great service!Well done guys. I'll see you again when I'm back in town.

Great gyros, wonderful staff, and a selection of Greek spirits you won't find anywhere else in the city. Can be spendy (you'll get what you pay for!) but also doesn't have to be. Love having this as one of my neighborhood spots. A Minneapolis institution.

I wish I liked the food here more because the patio and service are great. The dishes I had were all a bit bland. Not bad at all but not great. This place could be fantastic if they’d just go a bit harder with the seasoning.

I used to go there all the time, then they closed. They used to carry this amazing soap. Yes.....soap. My first time back was a few days ago. I'm not sure that my waiter was sober, he was nice, but forgetful, clumsy, lentil soup wasn't as good, but the Greek salad was good. Amazing before, just so so now

It's Greek to me is the best! It's been my family favorite since the 1990's. We enjoyed the Spanakopita, Greek salad, Tzatziki, Paidakia, Chicken Gyro, Beef & Lamb Gyro. The staff is superb and the patio is amazing!It's a great date spot too! I can't wait to return

I went here for a celebration, and we had a variety of dishes served to us with appetizers, salads, and main dishes. I loved everything that was put in front of me. There was not one dish that was a flop. The people were also very friendly and helpful. If you like Greek food, then you should absolutely try this place out.

This was one of our go-to places when we lived in the Twin cities, so we were super excited to visit. The menu is scaled down and unfortunately our favorite dishes were not available. We split the eggplant appetizer and a large village salad. The village salad was good, but missing the green peppers (so simply onions and tomatoes in vinaigrette). My giro sandwich was good and my better half was satisfied with his giro platter, but underwhelmed by the sides. Service was good, but the prices were high for the food and service. The neighborhood has really declined. If I had to recommend a good Greek restaurant, I'd suggest The Naughty Greek instead.

The octopus appetizer was incredibly tender and tasty, I didn't know octopus could taste like that. Warm, soft pita bread. The lamb portion was small but was stellar. The moussaka was also delicious. The ouzo was great quality, it turned very cloudy when added to ice like it's supposed to and it had a great taste. I would come back, this is a great unpretentious spot in uptown with good food.

This is the best food in the area. Additionally they don’t over charge unlike side chick or Moto-i.Also this is locally owned by a nice family.Summer time in their patio area is nice as well.

Love this place! Had a great lunch with friends there on Sunday, before the show at the Jungle Theater. I ordered the shrimp Santorini and it was just delicious. All the food was good, and the service was quick and courteous. We'll go back again.

Great food and good service!! Nice menu options. They have a few drink specials. Very satisfied with our food selections. Lots of seating. Good location. Fun spot to watch the goings on of Lake and Lyndale in Uptown. Good spot for great Greek food.
