Our dinner was delicious! We had the beef on wick. One of the Best I have had in Dunkirk and Fredonia. Wings extra crispy medium were really good. We’re not drowning in sauce. The steak souvlaki was also amazing. Our server was really nice and attentive. We had him tell the cook how much we enjoyed our dinner.
How does a Greek restaurant not have hummus?
Waitress never asked if we needed anything, never refilled drinks and we waited 1 hour to get our food and it wasn’t very busy at the time. I would not recommend.
Great food on the deck with a view of Lake Erie - great value for classic Greek food (dolmades were best I ever had) and classic seafood. Service was prompt and efficient.
Usually it’s always been good but recently it’s been a let down this time especially. First my food arrives with a dead fruit fly on the plate, then a hair in my pancakes which were slightly undercooked. Very disappointed since I’ve been going there since I was little.
Went here for the first time since living in Dunkirk with some friends. They said it's a great place. well, of the 4 of us, I had chicken fingers, others a Gyro, beef stroganoff, and a chicken souvlaki. Out of all our food, the chicken fingers were the best of them and also not as expected.
Chicken Fingers- While hot when arriving to the table, the middle of the fingers were warm-ish and not well cooked in 2 of the 4. They were crispy as asked. fries were alright. for the price, i would have expected another finger and double the fries like other places I frequent.
Gyro- Meat looked and felt dry. Like it was frozen and microwaved. arrived warm and was very rubbery. Would not even give it to a dog.
Beef Stroganoff- Idk where to start. I've never seen a Beef Stroganoff with meatballs. It was barely warm when arrived to the table. "Not appetizing at all" is what my friend said.
Chicken Souvlaki- Also not even warm when it came to the table. "Not edible" after she got it back from the kitchen.
Before leaving, 3 of the dishes were taken off the bill. Appreciated given how the food was. Because of that, I will give them another try sometime. (and 3 stars)

Made an order fried chicken and order of chicken tenders. Took bite from fried chicken and a long gray hair was cooked into the breading. Will call to talk to manager. Received call from Shirley about 30 minutes later. She was very rude to me on the phone and was very upset about me posting review. I told her I would speak to Jamie tomorrow because I didn’t like the way she was speaking to me. She claimed she was the owner and Jamie was not. Won’t be returning if this is how they interacted with paying customers.

There are very few dining choices in area. The location is nice as it’s by the lake however the quality of the food is poor. It wasn’t too busy that afternoon. My wife ordered battered fish ( fish and chips) hoping it would be a safe choice and it wasn’t. I ordered the chicken sandwich. Took two bites and it wasn’t cooked in the center and still frozen and white. Obviously they used frozen packaged meats and just tossed it into the fryer. I flagged our waitress and returned it and asked for the beef on a Kaiser roll, the same choice our guest made. My entree arrived after everyone else had finished. Our waitress apologized (not her fault) but clearly the kitchen staff is not very competent or caring. I’d not recommend this place and you might do better at one of the chain restaurants by the Thruway exit, or the few choices in downtown Fredonia.

Views are nice! Would not go back. Hot beef sandwich was tough sliced beef....not homemade as far as I could see. Husband's steak was overcooked. Complained about the hot beef....got 2 sorrys but that was it. Waitress took too long to serve us. She was nice just not on the ball

Great food and massive portions.
Very nice woman waited in me, I ordered a beer and the "broiled salmon special" the one I got seemed past its time, kinda reeked when it came out, never a good sign with fish. I tried it kinda a twang spit it out in a napkin. Mashed potatoes were a gloopy paste didn't have any flavor neither did the green bean wax bean carrot medley. Special was not very special.
