I LOVE this restaurant. I started going soon after they opened. Then I found ways to go as they switched from offering lunch to offering dinner. The food is exceptional: fresh, extremely high quality produce, the cuisine is exquisite, the service is fabulous. I brought my grown children this time, and they both loved it. They had not been. I highly recommend it! Wonderful from beginning to end.

The food is always delicious. We started off with the saganaki which was a delicious and well seasoned fried cheese. Next up was an instant favorite, the octopus, flown in from Spain. We moved on to the traditional Greek salad. I don't typically enjoy olives but these were fresh and combined with the capers, tomatoes, onions and olive oil, it made for a nice refreshing dish. We finished off with the lamb chops and fries that were seasoned perfectly and tender. No surprise, baklava was the perfect desert to end our night! Only minor complaint is that the bill ads up quickly here, especially if you get a glass of wine, but you get what you pay for as it's all delicious and goes to an owner/chef that often times greets his guests.

Fillo was a treat. We enjoyed the triple spread, bread and olive medley to start. We took our time and enjoyed the some excellent cocktails and wine. The souvlaki and the calamari were excellent. Amy did a great job with everything and we will return soon.

If you are a big fan of Greek dining then you will not be disappointed. The food was delicious and authentic. We had the fried Feta, which was a bit spicy (red pepper flakes) but the sweet honey did a nice job balancing it out. We also had the Tzatziki with pita and it was delicious. Our entrees were the Moussaka & Kotopoulo Souvlaki. Moussaka was very rich in flavor and it will fill you up. The Kotopoulo (chicken kabob) and the rice was very good. Finally we wrapped it up with the Baklava and it was presented nicely in 3 pieces. It was very good. A very nice evening before heading over to the FCC game!

Tables squeezed in tight. Front door directly opens to seating area. Was cold that night people in and out and of course those standing in the door with it open!! Server slow to get back to table in between events. Table really small could not hold all the plates (2 top table on side of bar) the bar seaters chairs and ailse where tight. NOT a repeat for us.

After visiting Greece a year and a half ago, my husband and I were craving some tasty authentic Greek food. Fillo absolutely satisfied that need. It's a cool space with great service & a welcoming atmosphere. We will certainly return! Madison (unsure of spelling) was a great server!

It was our 4th time there. The food is amazing every time!! However the service was pretty bad for a 1st time. We got interrupted numerous times by our waiter in middle of conversation and got our bill (within 1h of when we got seated) when we just started our main dish. The restaurant wasn't full, they didn't seem to need these seats. We ended up finishing our meal at home. Overall the food is amazing but we felt we couldn't enjoy the food, our conversation or the place. We felt rushed from the moment we stepped in. We arrived at 6:35 and got out at 7:30.

The food was amazing and the service is excellent. The menu is a little small, but everything is done super well. I had the grilled shrimp on pest couscous and it was easily the best shrimp I've had in Cincinnati. It's maybe a tiny bit expensive for value in my opinion, but I'm willing to pay because the food truly is fresh, delicious, and well-done. The little baclava nests are quite possibly the most delicious bites on planet earth.

Overall the food was good, but quantities by dish were inconsistent (the three dips with pita chips had way too few chips, one of the entrees only had 4 shrimp). Service was not what I expected for the price point, particularly when ordering multiple small plates, the server shouldn't have in at the same time when they won't fit reasonably on the table. The dining area still feels like a bakery vs nice restaurant.

This was one of the best meals we've had in quite awhile. We had several appetizers (get any of the cheese options!), Greek salad (without lettuce, which seemed odd till we tried it, delicious), lamb chops were extraordinary. We're coming back here soon!

The food here is delicious and the staff are all wonderful. Unfortunately it took a very long time to get our appetizer and then dinner was immediately after, so the meal wasn't paced out very well. The restaurant is very loud but thats because everyone is having fun and enjoying themselves. Second time there and I will be back.
