I really enjoyed my visit here. I ordered the house salad and the “flaming cheese” which was a very fun experience but you definitely need people to share with you. It’s literally a steak of cheese 🧀 The avocado on the salad was delicious and the chicken was moist and not dry which I loved. I’d be happy to visit again soon!

Disappointed with the food, unfortunately. The Poseidon pasta was watery (far from rich lobster broth that was described). The calamari and clam chowder were OK. But the biggest disappointment was the mix souvlaki. The meat needs more seasoning and was overcooked (it was dry and tough). Tzatziki sauce was just ok.

Food was amazing. The pita bread and meat on our sandwich was amazing. The service was incredible; the man at the register was very nice and kind and very respectful. Highly recommend👍

The owner Mikey is absolutely wonderful! His staff are very attentive and professional. The food is the best Greek food on this side of the Mississippi. We frequent here at least once a week and absolutely love it. They will always be the best restaurant for us and our family. You will not be disappointed.

Wow! No regrets! I had the wrapped done in lettuce so I could eat the yummy sour dough bread. The bread was served hot and was delicious. The lamb and beef was soooo good. The fries were fresh and fried to perfection. Eat now thank me later!!!!

Second time we went and it was mid afternoon, not so busy on this Friday (early September). Service was bad/slow (nice server though). We ordered the meat sampler and 4 dips. Hummus and tarama no, not at all tasty! Tzatziki eh so-so and the tabouli um.. no, it was there on the plate. The meat was very badly seasoned and cooked. Shockingly bad! I do not write bad reviews but had to this time, best part was the beer, pita and the view. Will not return 😔

My friend and I had lunch here today, and we left with full bellies and smiles. We loved that the restaurant was right on the marina and had a wonderful open and airy concept. The portion sizes of food were really good. My all time favorite dish was the flaming cheese with some pita bread. By the time we ate the bread, cheese, pita bread, and chicken soup we were too full to eat our main courses. There was plenty of parking, the servers were exceptional, and attentive. I love that the restaurant has outdoor heaters because it can get a little brisk by the marina. All in all it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend trying it out.

Never eaten here. Of course I don’t live in California. Just watched the show with Chef Ramsay. I am so glad to see that they’re still going strong. They seem like a beautiful family 💗. If i ever come to Cali I will definitely make this place my first visit 💗. I have worked for Greeks and they’re some of the greatest people to work for. They will always treat you like family 💗
