Wonderful friendly service and great food and wine list. Prices are very reasonable too and parking is easy. Will come back for patio seating when the weather warms!

When food looks good, it tastes good. Presentation is everything, and the presentation was bright and colorful. I had the gyro with vegetables on the side. The gyro was served open-faced with slices of tomato. The white onions were thinly sliced.The side vegetables were blanched and quick sautéed to maintain appearance, texture, crispness, and taste. Very well presented. The potatoes were cooked in chicken stock, which gave them a warm yellow appearance and a delicious flavor.My SO had the dolmades lunch. The handmade and cooked in tomato sauce. Served with the same side vegetables as the gyro. She also had the lentil soup when she consumed completely and did not share even a taste.Almost forgot, we shared the combination appetizer platter. It came with feta cheese, olives, skordalia, hummus, pita, and something else, the name of which I can not remember. All done very colorful and very tasty.The service was very good. The waiter was polite, and the service was quick. They even gave us an extra pita for our appetizer.All in all I wouldvery much recommend this restaurant. One thing to add, we went after lunch rush and before dinner. If you go during peak times of the day, they do get busy.

So bad, all the food was slimey and way over cooked. The “fresh” food (tomatoes, etc.) were mushy and old tasting. I asked them about it and the basically told me to pound sand.

The food was OK but the service was very bad. Did not give the table any attention but then demanded a 22% tip saying it is included but we had no idea prior. The place had a bad smell too and the waiter/manager/owner had a bad vibe about him.

Had the Dionysus Combo here. I like sampling several different items when eating Greek. Glad they have several different platters.Place was busy and it looked like the host was jack of all trades. He did an excellent job.

Got the veggie platter here with dolma, spanakopita and other items, and I hate to say it but it kind of awful. I couldn’t even finish it. I’m sure their meat options are better.

Incredible food. We got the vegetarian dinner platter and everything was to die for. We got takeout, which was ready quickly. Majid was polite and answered all our questions. The atmosphere looks nice, though I didn't eat in. Plenty of parking nearby. I will be back!
