“Today we Celebrated at Ambrosia Tavern This Sunday in honor of a graduate A Family Style Menu was predetermined for our Group and 👏🏽it 👏🏽was 👏🏽amazing It all came out right away which worked awesome 🤩 because your not waiting for each order to come out when your group orders individually (🤔think about it) Perfect amount of Food Everything came out Fresh and Hot We were servered Pear Salad Greek Salad Chicken and Waffles Skillet Potatoes Fruit Salmon over Salad If you’re looking for a wonderful place to enjoy with a small group or family I highly recommend going here The staff was very accommodating and our server was Ramon who was so very gracious and kind Took great care of us!!! Sometimes we rotate doing the same restaurant experiences This was truly different I was on the fence about the “family style of eating “ but…. It was Soooo awesome and made the dining more like home style plus it took the guess work out of everyone trying to figure out what to order Sorry not more pictures of food we Were passing them around so quickly lol because the presentation was top tier! Please don’t overlook having an event here Highly recommend going here ❤️ — eating brunch at Ambrosia Taverna.“

“Another awesome restaurant I was introduced to as a child. Needless to say, I've been frequenting Zorbas for years and all their locations. I have had a great experience with the servers and owners! The food is always good and rarely ever tastes different. I usually get the sample platter, Greek salad, calamari, gyro, or solvaki or chicken dinner platter with rice, pita bread, and Greek potatoes. I highly recommend the Greek potato's as they are my favorite. They have 2 large dining areas on opposite sides of the restaurant (one side used to be smoking and the other non-smoking). One side includes a bar, and the other is more of a family dining side! Service is always quick and usually friendly. Definitely recommend it if you want great authentic Greek food!“

“I'd say I'm pretty much a regular at the Summerville location. Unfortunately the last two times I headed in right around 8:45pm I was denied service. I was told that they stop serving at 8:45pm as they close at 9pm. Mind you the entry was open allowing customers to come in. Does anyone know if this is a company policy/ standard to say the stores opens until 9pm but take no more orders past 8:45p? I totally understand their workers aren't happy with their jobs and want to get out just as quickly but please help me to understand.“

“First time visiting this establishment. Decided to drop in and, try a couple of their menu items. I ordered the Shrimp Po Boy which was delicious. I also had the #12 Italy at Greek Boys Pasta which was amazing. The mushrooms, sauce, and chicken all tasted well together, with amazing flavor! The atmosphere, and service was great. Oh and the onion rings are awesome!“

“Delicious catering today! Everything was piping hot and right on time. First time ordering, will definitely order again.“

“My favorite restaurant in town. Great consistent flavors, the most friendly helpful staff and large portions. Not to mention every single dish tastes good. Can't go wrong here.“

“The pimento in the Mediterranean salad was so fresh & deliciously sweet (as well as the entire salad) and my husband's fish sandwich made me want another bite! The one dish I miss is the pimento cheese & chicken salad...hopefully it'll reappear. Your pita chips are the best!“

“The place needs a little remodeling and the parking lot needs to be much bigger for the amount of business. I've been going here for years. I have tried several different things. I love their crab legs and shrimp the most. I don't think I've ever been disappointed.“

“Nick’s NEVER disappoints! Shrimp is the best in town! Friendly service + delicious food = 🥇“

“Asked for pastichio, not available, next asked for mousakka, not available, asked for rice pudding, not available. Did get spanakopita and Greek salad each were good, but wanted the other Greek goodies on the menu Oh well Vey disappointed in the Greek salad with little feta and no onions yet loads of lettuce. Never again thanks but no thanks“

“The “FRIED CATFISH” SPECIAL was absolutely DELICIOUS and the portion serving was awesome…two large filets..Should b on the menu permanently!!“
