Authentic and delicious Greek/Cretan cuisine! Lamb is cooked perfectly. Orzo instead of rice is a great feature. Great staff and nice atmosphere. Dined with a person a Crete descent… she loved it!
Delicious, authentic Moussaka, the best I’ve had since Crete. A flavorful, perfectly prepared Branzino filet. And a light Xinomavro red wine from Northern Greece that paired well with them both. Friendly service and a dark but cozy atmosphere, though pretty loud when the tables all filled. On that topic, don’t take a chance—make a reservation.
Great Greek food at an affordable price. Haven't been here in a year and a half and don't know why except we live in Newberg. We'll be back soon.
