I recently celebrated my birthday at Pappa’s and it was a great experience. The ambiance set the perfect tone for the evening. My friends and I were standing on our chairs and dancing all night. They handed out sparklers to everyone which was super fun & we also got a bottle with a sign! Apollo, the director, went out of his way to make sure everything was flawless, checking in to ensure I was having the best experience. Our server, Ardit, was fantastic as well. He was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making great recommendations that enhanced the meal. Every dish was fantastic from the appetizers to the entrees. If you’re looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion or just want an outstanding meal, Pappa’s is a must!

I recently went here to celebrate a friend’s birthday and it was absolutely wonderful especially for large groups. The director Apollo was very accommodating and our server, Ardit catered to all of our needs. The service was beautiful and it had dancers and points in the night where sparklers were given to everyone in the place. The place seems small but there is a lot of tables which is good. People were standing on their chairs and having a great time. The drinks were flowing and we even got a bottle with a sign. It was a lot of fun and everyone had a great time. All appetizers were really good we ordered 5 for a group if 11 which was plenty. The entrees were wonderful as well, the lobster pasta was huge! The only downside was we did have to wait 40 minutes since we had a large party on a Saturday but it all worked out. Thank you to all the staff who made my friend’s birthday a hit!

Second time here and I’m disappointed. The food is pretty good , the service can improve , definitely can use more staff on a Saturday night to ensure tables get clean plates and utensils before the food! They definitely need to improve on seating and tables especially for large party’s we had a party of 10 and we barely had space which was uncomfortable! Also putting a 2 hour limit on large parties is absurd especially because it is not stated on their website . All it say is they try to accommodate everyone no specification on 2 hour limits . If someone is celebrating an occasion and has a large party it will most certainly take longer . Between being seated and figuring out drinks and food and enjoying the actual drinks and food and entertainment 2 hours is ridiculous and should definitely be reconsidered especially for large parties ! Being rushed when you are celebrating and spending thousands of dollars is not welcoming or professional ! If you can’t accommodate large parties without rushing them , it should be clearly addressed and stated on your site and to the customers before hand ! Highly embarrassed and disappointed! Definitely will not come back for a big occasion!

OMG where should I start.. we came to celebrate my friend birthday. There was a line to check in so by the time we were sitting it was half an hour past our reservation. They put us all the way in the back in a small table for 5 people so if we wanted to share food it was almost impossible.. we ask for a new table but they said they are booked.. we order drinks and food. Appetizers came first and drinks came about 1/2 an hour after they took the order (and after food). It was impossible to get any waiter Even if we wanted just water! They told us to swing our napkins and dance as the belly dancer and photographer are coming.. (do I work for this place? ) and later on they gave us bottle sparklers so we can light it together when the perfect song is on (again-I’m not working for you!) you can imagine what happened when ALL tables light their bottle sparklers! The whole place was smoking! People put their Napkins over their faces ! It was choking! We couldn’t breathe! My eyes were tearing. We ask to open the windows or AC immediately!. Other than that… food was ok minus, The dessert we wanted they didn’t have. The one that we did got was very hard and Cappuccino was cold! We wanted to leave but of course it took a while to track the waiter. I would never go back! This place is ALL about music and social media!

Worst ever!
I chose Pappas to celebrate my daughter’s special birthday because I lwantrd something memorable and this restaurant lived up to all expectations!! We were a large group so our host Apollo made sure everything ran smoothly and was just perfect. The food and service by our waiter Evangelos were excellent. It is such a fun experience. The DJ played great music and the belly dancer entertained us throughout the night. We all danced and had a great time. I would highly recommmed Pappas to celebrate a special event.

Great night at Papas! Our server Norik was extremely attentive and kind. My old friend Apollo was a great host. We had so much fun and can’t wait to go back. 10/10 food too!!!

Came here on Halloween, it was a surprise reservation from my partner since it’s been on my list of places to dine.
? first thing first , I’m Eastern European and Mediterranean food is my favorite. I’m a very big critique and very honest.
? ambience and atmosphere are divine, love how they made it like some cities in Greece
? the waiter was nice, but we had to keep asking for water and they kept forgetting…forgetful staff..
? espresso martini was very simple, but good, I was expecting some twist in this restaurant, at least the evil eye or something ,but a simple espresso martini.
?saganaki - it was very heavy and drenched (usually I love saganaki but it was like a heartburn after the 2nd bite)
? Greek spreads: please put more pita, not enough. But the tzatziki was good (I’ve had better) but good, spicy feta was good, the hummus…I was very disappointed…so flavorless, lacked love .
-chef needs to improvise these dishes, especially appetizers which are the best dishes in majority of Mediterranean restaurants
? the lavraki was delicious - definitely recommend.
.
.
So on Halloween they were supposed to have a show…but the dancers never came…we asked w as waiter/owner he said they are not coming…it was very disappointing…especially dive we came for that experience or we would’ve gone elsewhere for Halloween dining experience…very disappointed .
? they did do the grand finale with the sparklers . So that was very fun !
?DJ was amazing! Loved all the music , wish there was a dance floor.
Overall I do recommend

Pappas from beginning to end was amazing. Apollo (director) took care of us the second we walked in the door making sure that while we waited for our party to arrive we were in good hands. They gave us a great table for our friends birthday where it was perfect placement for us to talk and chat but also be apart of the action when it turned into a supper club with a DJ and sparklers. Our waiter Jurgen was on point and made sure that we ordered all the best food like the octopus, zucchini chips, and dips. The portion sizes were big and food was incredible. Definitely recommend for a birthday, dinner, or large group event who wants to have fun!
