We have ordered takeout since March 2020. The food is consistently very good and we love the house salad and bread, too, not to mention the complimentary baklava which has unexpectedly appeared! This is an authentic family restaurant offering great Greek dishes, and we so hope it makes it through Covid because we look forward to dining inside (or outside) soon again.

Went for my wife's birthday and had a wonderful meal. Beautiful outdoor seating and delicious food. Can't wait to eat here again!!!

Sat on the patio under the grape vines. Food was served promptly and everything was delicious. Have eaten there many times and always have a great experience.

Excellent service, food was nothing to write home about. $6 for a Mythos, too much I think.

Yesterday we ventured out for the first time since the pandemic. We visited the Greek Taverna. It was as expected a slow night for them. We were greeted immediately by the person in charge who had a Mask on his face which made us very comfortable. It was a rainy weather so we could not sit outside but social distancing was practiced inside so we were fine. The waitress, who was also wearing a mask, was very friendly and explained the specials for the day. We ordered the following for our appetizers Grape leaves, tasty but a bit sweet for my taste, Haloomy delicious with grilled tomatoes, and Spanakopita fresh, crispy and to die for. We love Greek food so we had a challenge to order, finally decided, with leftover for tomorrow in mind, to order 6 entrees, the waitress was a bit chocked by our order and confirmed a couple of times, understandably. Trout well cooked a bit too lemony, and I love lemon, had a bit of bones, loved it and loved the baked potatoes on the side. As a side sautéed Green Beans, which was the veggie of the day as all entrees got it, well cooked and delicious. Katapoula Agginares Boneless Chicken breast sautéed with artichoke, awesome taste and tasted exactly as described in the menuGarides Nafplian Sautéed Shrimp with tomatoes my wife enjoyed very muchPaidakai Lamb Chops Cooked to perfection Pastitsio a baked layered pasta with ground beef and béchamel sauce. I cook an Egyptian version of this dish and wanted to compare, I am sorry but my version wins, but I still enjoyed a taste of it, and will have the leftover for lunch today. Moussaka well you can’t go to a Greek restaurant and not have Moussaka. Well done, held itself very good the taste was a it sweet to my taste. But will enjoy leftover for lunch today The owner bought us dessert, which was very nice of him. Finally I definitely would recommend The Greek Taverna if you like Greek food but expect a higher than average check, good food cost money. I added some pictures for enjoyment

Excellent Greek food and friendly service! This local McLean restaurant is owned and run by a wonderful family. We’ve been enjoying it for many years - very pleasant outdoor patio when weather is nice too!
No a good option for lunch. it might be better as dinner

Very neat and convenient place. They serve generous portions and for inexpensive rates. I loved the menu a lot and the waiters were very friendly and explanatory. I recommend this place.

Consistently fabulous. I don't know any way to say it better! Elegant without a hint of being pretentious, sophisticated without being fussy. If you want authentic Greek fine dining with a warm and inviting atmosphere, this is the place for you!

We dine at Greek Taverna a few times every year and are never disappointed. Their lamb and fish dishes are great and Taramusalata appetizer reminds us of our trip to Greece.
