We stopped in here on a friday night around eight pm, party of two. We sat at the bar even though half of the restaurant was open with available seating.
We had stopped into another restaurant to have dinner. However, I just didn't feel the vibe. That was not the case here. The moment we walked in, I just adored the place. From the old school sign outside to the warm, friendly atmosphere inside, I was hooked (it may have been the counter full of delicious appearing baked goods that sealed the deal for me).
The bartender was very friendly and attentive. Of course, I ordered a margarita, top-shelf salt rim. The margaritas were great, and we ordered an appetizer of chicken fiesta dip at the same time. Not long after that, this is when a divine intervention took place. I have to mention that while we were waiting on that divine intervention, we were served biscuits that are handmade here. The best i've ever had, and that's not an exaggeration. I was informed that they do sell them frozen for those who want to prepare them later at home. I didn't think it could give any better.
There was a couple sitting to our left, and they had ordered an appetizer around the same time as us. Our bartender mistakenly provided us with the best pizza dip ever ( the appetizer, our neighbors to the left, actually ordered)! She told us we should go ahead and sample that because it was her mistake while we waited on our chicken fiesta dip. Best mistake ever because that pizza dip was out of this world! The chicken dip arrived not long after that, and it was wonderful but didn't hold a candle.
Since we had 2 large bowls of appetizers, we did not order an entree, and I did not get a picture of either of the appetizers because the second I tasted that pizza dip, my world changed.
I did order a praline caramel cheesecake to go, which I shared with my son once. I got home, and holy Toledo, we were both in heaven!
The dessert case looks like heaven on earth..... Everything is made fresh inside this restaurant, and honestly, it couldn't have been any better. I will absolutely be back to try everything on the menu, which will probably take me the next five years.

Love this place. Polynesian chicken wings... incredible. Had a few items from this place. They hit every time
Having ordering carryout and picked it up through the drive-thru window a few times, I have enough experience with them to make a few comments. The large pasta salad I ordered seemed much smaller than in the best. The dressing did not even taste like Greek but rather oil and vinegar, very disappointing as good Greek salad dressing really makes this salad. This restaurant seems to be hit-and-miss, depending on when you go and who is cooking as to whether it will be worth your while. .
The spaghetti with meatballs is the only dish I would not recommend. It was very bland with a rather strong tomato marinara sauce, and no apparent spices or herbs to flavor it, apparently straight out of the box.
I asked the employee who took my phone order if the spaghetti was as good as the pasta salad. She did not answer my query, only commenting that the pasta salad just comes as a side dish.
It comes in two sizes. side dish and a $12.95 one; it's on the menu and I ordered it before. Perhaps she was new and didn't yet know the menu. I also requested a soda with light ice and my drink when I got it was so packed with ice, I could only get 3 gulps out of it; the ice was packed up to the top. For what you charge for the drink, the customer really should get it anyway they request it.

I had the Backyard Grilled Chicken salad and it was great. Zoey has been my server the last 2 times I've been here. She is the greatest. She has the best attitude and customer service. I will definitely be back.....J.J.

Very pet friendly with seating on the patio! 🐶❤️
My Mom and I went here for lunch and received 5✨️ treatment from everyone as they warmly welcomed my Mom's cavapoo Kadee at the outdoor patio seating!
Our waitress Zoey(spelling?) was friendly! All other staff was warm and welcoming, including the owner. 😊
Mom had the lunch Chicken Kabobs, and I had the Gyro Platter that came with the Rice Pilaf, Greek Potatoes, and Greek Salad, which was incredible!
The outdoor seating was enjoyable with the breeze. Going just after 11a was a good time as we were the only ones on the patio. So if you're not big on crowds, that may be a Saturday lunch option. 😁
This is my favorite restaurant in Florence. The menu is varied and everything is delicious. It’s a great option for lunch or dinner. The desserts are fantastic and I’m always sad when I’m too full to order one. My favorite dish there is their crab cake entree. It comes in a lunch or dinner portion. The biscuits they bring you before the meal just make your mouth water because they are so good. If you’re looking for an exceptional meal, you need to visit Starfire Grill.
