One of the best Greek food in town. Great quality, a bit pricy but we'll worth it.

Salted fish and lamb chops were excellent. Would not recommend the steak or lobster pasta. Great dips, salads and shrimp appetizer.

Philoxenia is easily one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, it feels like you’ve stepped into a family kitchen in Greece. The grilled octopus was perfectly tender, the moussaka was rich and comforting, and the baklava was amazing!!
What sets this place apart is the atmosphere. It’s welcoming without being rushed, and the staff treat you like family. They take the time to explain dishes and even offer recommendations that hit the mark every time. Whether you’re familiar with Greek cuisine or trying it for the first time, this restaurant is an absolute gem.

Philoxenia is now my go-to spot for Greek food. Everything tastes so fresh, like it was just made at home. I ordered the veggie moussaka and it was incredible, honestly the best I’ve ever had.
Service was quick and friendly, and you can tell the staff really care about making sure everyone has a great time. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel comfortable, and you leave already planning your next visit. If you love Greek food (or even if you just love good food), you need to eat here. Five stars, no question!

Had a lovely time at philoxenia the fish and lobster was fantastic. You can’t skip out on the loukomades for dessert. Wait staff and management was very attentive to dietary restrictions. Will be coming back again :)

We used to love this restaurant, but were disappointed during our last visit: bread was stale and tasteless. It took us by surprise. My lamb was ordered as medium well, but it was charred and completely overcooked. Definitely not medium well. Appetizers and dessert were good. But overall, not the quality we expected.

Portion sizes were very good. The food itself was excellent, I’d recommend trying the fish baked in salt and the spreads. Both were very tasty.

We had a great experience at Philonexia last night. Delicious food, courteous staff and a great atmosphere. We had a pleasure of meeting the owner Helen. She hand picked the right items for the taste of our family including my teenage son and my parents.
Thank you for the hospitality and the great service.

Philoxenia Greek Cuisine offers an outstanding dining experience. We enjoyed several dishes, including the Greek Sea Salt Baked Fish, which was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The owner personally welcomed us, and the entire staff was incredibly warm and attentive. Fresh ingredients, authentic Greek flavors, and genuine hospitality made the evening truly memorable. Highly recommend!

Great experience, went there for a date night with my partner, the food is amazingly fresh and tasty the staff are friendly and very welcoming from the moment you walk in, high end atmosphere, the lady owner attends to every table and makes sure you are enjoying the meal and if there is anything missing, they accommodate your needs, I needed some change to my salad and they brought me exactly what I asked for, the wine selection is amazing. This restaurant will be the one I go to often from now on. Thank you for the great experience, keep up the good job.
