Order the 35$ snapper, you’ll get half a fish in non-edible breading. The bones and scales are complimentary with the dish.
The lamb kabob and spread were good. The server made some good recommendations.

Our first visit and was difficult to choose from so many great sounding dishes and not overdue it. We manged to work it out and went with the Anassa chips ( amazing) , octopus and Greek salad as Apps, all so tasty. Not to mention the bread and spread they serve. Then on top the main course, We just missed the last red snapper , mine and our server's favorite, so we went with the black sea bass, was a first for me and was simply prepared with wine n capers (maybe butter - shhhh) , very delicious. Of course we ended with excellent coffee and Baklava (pistachio filling was to-die- for). So many return visits to plan!!!

Fix menu was very inexpensive at $32. The main was very small after the generous appetizer. Thought the fish should have been bigger and not child size.

Corporate feeling eatery with good food and solid drinks. Our service was very efficient and attentive.
Our party really liked the frozen cocktail options. They're well balanced and not a sugar bomb with no alcohol.
The halibut special we got was excellent, the rest we just did family style appetizers and sides.
The fried zucchini and eggplant were delicious. Perfectly salted and the thin cut made them almost like eating chips.
Overall a solid place. Not a ton of ambiance but a good spot for some viddles and libations.
Kid-friendliness: Good for families
Wheelchair accessibility: Seemed very accessible and open

Came here for lunch during restaurant week. The place is deceptively large from looking from the outside. The decor is very traditional Greek coastal vibes, which has always been a favorite aesthetic of mine.
Service was a touch slow, but was also nice not to be rushed. But having had some meetings after lunch, a little more urgency would have been appreciated. That being said, I don't think I've ever had my water glass filled so many times in one meal, which was greatly appreciated. Nonetheless the staff were kind and patient with our party.
Food was good and very fresh. I started with the salmon tartare, which is paired with these very tasty potato chip like crisps to eat it with. For the main meal I got the chicken which was good, but not stunning in any way. The notable points though were the oregano fries on the side and the fresh tomato and dill sauce served on the side are what amped it up more for me. Lastly, was the highest point of the meal was the dessert, we all had the baklava which although just a small little portion, it was just the sweet little bit we wanted to finish off the meal.

Food was great, balanced, had good flavors. Service was okay. Stepped into the bathroom before my food being served and I came back to my food alone at the table and 2 flies were feasting with it. While sitting on the outdoor patio, the table next to me was vaping directly into my table. The bar was very rowdy and distracting.

I am really on the fence in terms of 4 vs 5 stars — this is really squarely 4.5 in my mind, so going with 5 here.
The summary: very good food, some of it authentically Greek and some of it less so. We had the lunch deal, which was great value. We had the avgolemono soup and salmon tartare as appetizers (both very good) and the sea bass main course (excellent). The baklava desert was solid too.
Other times we’ve had more variable experiences with the food here, but this last time made us think we’ll come back soon.
Service was ok but nothing to write home about. Vibe is nice with mostly a lunch business crowd.

Hands down the best tzatsiki I've ever had. They have fresh seafood option that looked amazing as well. Gonna try the snapper next time. Order tap water though. Still water was 10 bucks a bottle.
