I am sad after stopping in. About 26 minutes total is how long I stayed.
I am a first timer, was seated politely & ordered quickly. I was excited for the soup which came out flavorless, salt and pepper did nothing. They were happy to take it off the bill, something I really appreciated. (Though it was +$4 with my meal and they had it as a separate item for $7.)
My hummus and pita came out-delicious! Glorious. Truly some tasty hummus. The pita was soft and fluffy-it saved the whole mood.
My pita was nothing to write home about, bland chicken in my opinion but maybe that’s how they’re served? Again, I’m a first timer.
I decided to give half the pita a go, but gave up after my water glass sat on the corner of the table while the staff chatted in the back.
There were a total of 2 people who needed attention besides myself at the time. I hope they leave happier than I did. I took my remaining food to hopefully feed a person outside.
Lesson learned.

Very nice lunch at new 5th Street location with long time Eugenians who dined with Poppi in the early days at the 1st taverna. A real delight was the very knowable history the current staff embrace, great training here matches great food!

Poppi’s Taverna was a great meal with great service and very good cocktails! I will be going back for more.

Fantastic restaurant and staff. Looks like they have yet to update the web yet but this location is permanently closed, unfortunately. They're relocating to fifth street market!!!

Hard to put a review. All signs pointed to the place opening on Friday night at 5pm. Wife was all excited. Except it was locked up, chairs on tables, lights off. Please update Google on hours.

Green pea soup was awesome. Gryo was a bit dry and had too much sauce.

Lamb kabob was cold. Servers look like they escaped from a women's prison. Food was over 30 minutes to get to the table. Portions are small and expensive. Drinks are small and over priced. Most the food was tasty, but not worth the hassle.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. I was thoroughly in love with it all. Excellent vegan options, fairly priced appetizer menu, and absolutely delicious cocktails. Thank you so much for being here Poppi's!

First time here just read they are moving to bigger location . Great food friendly staff. Will be going again .
mind it's the first review... as we get around to getting to them at different hours, it should change. first thoughts, AWESOME vegan ability to piece out the menu and get a full meal from it. Servers are absolutely amazing right up until about an hour before closing the they either stick at one table socializing or disappear. which honestly is to be expected, they want to close. the food is amazing. brings one immediately home into a kitchen where a shoe will be thrown and head to be slapped when mispronouncing names... memories of trying to memorize where a syllable is comes to mind. Ouzo on ice, perfectly cloudy, straight...? OMG.

Good was delicious and I was Stuffed after an appetizer and entree.
I love the vibe too. For me it's a mix of Eugene low-key, mom's comfy kitchen table, and fine fancy food.

Cutest leather bound drink menu - detailed list of all the unknown liquors. Massive points as someone with allergies! The Poppi's Pom Collins was so light and refreshing after a long day. My partner got the house brewed Hibiscus Iced Tea that was rich and full of flavor. The atmosphere is so beautiful with a low light and natural color tones in the wood and rich red tones around the decor. Some nice mellow music to wind down a long day. The food was excellent and did not disappoint. They will be going over to Greek food and away from Indian, we got the gyro plate and the vindaloo chicken curry. Great flavors and a great chunk of bone in chicken in the Curry. Absolutely wonderful little place, glad we found it

I thought the food was not that great. Lamb was overcooked and tough shrimp was overcooked and rubbery. Maybe they just were having a bad night. I’m not sure. Would I go back? Definitely not
