Beautiful Resturant with AMAZING FOOD! The waitress was so kind! We left with full bellies & big smiles & we didn’t put a dent in our wallet!
This is gonna be my new “must stop” when I come to Helena!

I worked under Ersun, a horrible boss and selfish person who isn't grateful for his workers. Ersun stole 100 dollars of my tips and he even tried the same thing the week before. the pay is garbage compared to other wages compared to similar work places. the staff is alright but have to walk around like they are walking on glass because of his rude and immature behaviors. jealous and creepy, I rate the food pretty good but the management and owner is the worst I've came across in any work environment. plus the owner lies! Can't trust Ersun, that's not even his name, he'd risk his business over 100 plus dollars in tips.

Came here with a friend. Definitely don’t plan on coming to eat here if you have a show to catch it or are on a tighter schedule. Not sure if they’re short staffed but wow was the service slow. It shouldn’t take over two hours to dine in for soup and an entree. Hardly ever saw the waitress. And it wasn’t busy. Chose to get dessert at another place because we would’ve probably been stuck there another hour. Food wasn’t bad.

I was so excited to go to lunch here today, I'd heard this place talked up for years. I was disappointed. The falafel was actually gummy, I could make better falafel from a box mix! The flatbread was blah and the toppings on the sandwich were sparse. The baklava was pretty good though, so that's something. It was definitely not worth the the $30+ I paid.

My husband and I typically love this place for dinner. However last weekend we had extremely slow service. The waitress was pleasant, but very slow and didn't check in enough. We ran out of drinks and it was nearly 20 minutes before she came back so see if we wanted another. Plus it was way too warm inside. Usually great, I'm sure we will be back. Hopefully the service will be back to what we usually expect from MG.

I really wanted to like this place…but I didn’t. I struggled with sending this review, but I didn’t want others to have an experience like we did.
This place has an unofficial dress code, dress nice or a step above everyday wear. The food is good, but it takes a while. This place is like those places that takes a while intentionally. They want you to relax and when you order it takes longer than 30 min.
Their dessert is good, their Mediterranean food is probably the best in town. But if you are used to cities…honestly it’s okay not great. And for the price it’s not worth it in my opinion.

A gem in Helena. Great food representing a variety of countries around the Mediterranean. Fabulous culinary skills perfecting dishes that would take a lifetime to taste yet alone cook well. And the desserts were off the chart delicious. The teremasou, baklava, and best cheese cake ever. Yes, best cheese cake ever had - the phenomenal doesn't do justice describing the cheesecake. A must try in Helena.

Warm and cozy restaurant that tries to look like a bistro in Italy. We started with a Caesar salad which had a homemade dressing that was light and not heavily creamy. Then my hubby and I ordered a lasagna. I got a delicious chicken one that was perfectly cooked with lots of sauce and cheese. My husband’s meat one came burnt and inedible. The server took quite a while to come to our table to ask how our food was tasting. His lasagna was removed from our bill and the staff made it right. It shouldn’t have been brought out to us in the first place. I also got some baklava and my food was wonderful. I’m guessing his overcooked dish was abnormal for this place.

Wonderful place for lunch. Lentil soup was fantastic.
Best lasagna I’ve had since leaving Brooklyn. Wine list a bit pricy but overall I’d be back in a heartbeat,

If you are vegan and/or have dairy allergies do NOT eat here. I explained to the server that I couldn’t have any dairy. I spoke with her in detail about the ingredients in the dishes that she offered as vegan options. I ordered a bowl of the lentil soup. I ate one spoon full, followed by a second spoonful. After two spoon fulls, i automatically knew that something was wrong. I got ill immediately. I regurgitated outside for several minutes. I was gone so long until my husband came to find me. My husband paid the bill. I walked back into the restaurant as he was walking out. After I got the food that I ingested out of my stomach, we went back in to explain what happened. However, the manager or chef approached us, we aren’t sure who he was, but he was the person who greeted us when we returned. He denied responsibility. We even told him that we were not asking for our money back. We just wanted him to know that what they served to me wasn’t dairy free or was somehow cross contaminated. Needless to say he was not kind about it and insisted that it was nothing that they served that cause me to become ill. I know that it had to be, because I was fine when I walked in.

Food is great but the service is the worst I have ever experienced. They litterly ignore you when you try to call them over. I believe that your money would be better spent where they treat their customers with respect.

I am local. We've tried it several times. Food not cooked properly (cold or overcooked). Staffing and managing the proper timing of seating tables for proper service is lacking.
