The owner was very rude to us. Do not go here. It’s overpriced for what you get. So many better places in Brooklyn.

Delicious. Quality Greek cuisine.

Jerry Ascolese

One of my favorite restaurants in the city. Service is impeccable, drinks are delicious. And the food is truly the best Greek/Mediterranean I’ve ever had. Could not recommend more.

I’m going to be honest here and state the fact that their food is really good. Flavorful and touching all the right notes and everything. However the service is so bad that I was going to get up and leave before the main course showed up.

At one point I was going to go to the bar to get my drinks myself. They are clearly understaffed and the half of the staff they have doesn’t understand the concept of ā€œprioritizing.ā€ I watched my drink, a glass of wine, sat at the bar for more than 10 minutes while the wait staff was serving another table (seated after us) their bottle of wine. Same thing happened with our soft drinks.

I had to ask for the dessert menu after the owner/manager checked on me, (when my partner was in the restroom), to see if we needed anything else. Clearly we had our main course done, it’s only expected to ask for after dinner drinks/dessert. Not here. After our dessert, I asked the check from the owner/manager again, and watched him walk around aimlessly and deliver some other table’s check before ours even though they asked after us. I don’t know if they had something against us as a table or just having a bad night, but the service was simply unacceptable.

Bussers were kind and on point though! So, it’s not a staff issue but rather an issue with the management trying to save money by being understaffed.

My family came here to eat and it was a wonderful experience. I got the lamb and it was so tender it fell right off the bone. The spreads were delicious.The service was great. I forgot the waiters name but he was very personable. Very nice and very knowledgeable of the menu.The restaurant definitely had a family friendly kind of vibe. Mostly adults but it was very pleasant to eat at the restaurant. They offer valet parking.

Great Greek Place. The owner is great. Bartender young woman was lovely, we were here for a doctor's meeting and Niko served our group. Food is great, we had great Greek wines, nice desserts. Appies are amazing, try the grilled octopus, saganaki, greek salad, galamari, and lambshank, lamb chops, or grilled whole fish selections which is fresh, charred on the outside and steamy inside.
