Serving up all the classics, just like your yia yia used to make. While the pastichio was a little cold when I received it, it was still delicious and full of flavor. Good authentic Greek food.

I have never had a bad meal here! House wine, which is only $25 a liter during happy hour (5-7) and house sangria are great.

I had the Arni Kokkinisto, which is lamb braised in tomato sauce with orzo and it was amazing. The lamb was tender and it was the perfect meal to have on a cold winter day. The lamb came with a side of lemon potatoes and was only $23 for a huge portion.

For dessert I highly recommend the Loukoumade-little dough balls...

I've been here several times with friends over the past few years and we come back because of how consistently good the food is. The service is friendly and music is not too loud. There are great food options and pitchers for sharing. I recommend the outdoor seating in the in the warmer months.
