Horrible dining experience. The server poured water all over our table with no apology. There were flies everywhere, even on our food. To make matters worse, the server mixed up our order and brought us food from the table next to us. Clearly our guy was just standing there waiting for us to figure things out by ourselves. After the meal, we requested to-go boxes and paper bags, but the server said he'd be right back and then just disappeared somewhere in the universe.

We made a reservation for a 630 Sunday evening dinner. Service was very slow. They were very busy and obviously understaffed. Food quality was good, but not great.

I’ve been to Kipos multiple times and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. However, tonight was much different. I picked Kipos to celebrate a job offer, but my experience tonight certainly soured the experience. Upon arrival, my partner and I were sat a very small table right next to the wall, with the three other tables surrounding us (with minimal distance between us) also having diners as well. This contributed to a very cramped feeling. When asked to be moved outside, we waited 15 minutes before being notified they were unable to accommodate us. While we were waiting, I noticed the candle on our table was empty and burnt out while the surrounding tables had lit candles. When the waitress first visited our table, she did not go over the specials or let us know which specials were out for the night. As such, when it came time to order, the special I’d had my eye on was out for the night. After we placed our order, a live musician began to play, and it turns out our table was right next to the speaker. Had we not already placed our orders, I would have left at this point. However, because we had I ended up asking for our orders to-go because the atmosphere and service were so abysmal. To top it all off, the lamb was quite overcooked (particularly compared to when I’ve had it in the past). Overall, I’m extremely displeased with my experience and it is questionable whether I will return. It was especially disappointing that this was supposed to be a celebratory experience that was stained by the service and atmosphere.

I went for dinner with a reservation and sat outside. The service was very professional and friendly. The Greek salad and dessert; chocolate mousse were delicious. However, I didn’t like the main courses, I don’t recommend them and wouldn’t order them again. The atmosphere was beautiful, and that day, there was live music.

I had a nice server who was new but very nice. The atmosphere was fine. It's tucked in the corner of Eastgate, so getting turned in and parking can be a nightmare.

The food and wine were not good. I got moussaka that was undercooked with potatoes lining the bottom that were nearly raw. I should have sent it back, but my friend was treating and on a schedule. I did tell the server to tell the kitchen. I ended up being sick that night, though I tried to eat what seemed done.

The wine might just have not been good, but it was very vinegary as if the bottle had been open too long.

Food was amazing! Disappointingly long wait given we had reservations. Server was fun, but slow. Outside dining area was nice.

You’re better off getting some groceries at the Aldi next door. This is not it, guys and gals. Service was nonexistent, there was attitude from the bar staff when they forgot to fire off our order, no accountability for the poor experience. I hate typing this up, but it had to be done.

If you can pretend you are by the beach, then the prices make sense. You are in an ally between Aldi and Dollar Tree. Stop with market price salmon. I came here for the second time and all the prices were 4-6 dollars more expensive. The chicken was dry. Decor was great. Always filled with old people. Deserts were stale and expensive. Google needs to investigate these reviews. 60$ for sangria pitcher.
