Braised lamb is the most tender lamb meat we’ve ever tried. All the party at our table enjoyed the fire flamed savory but sweet saganaki/baked cheese and our individually ordered Greek style meals as well as drinks and desserts. Variety of seafood + pasta options. If you like cheesecake and baklava, their baklava cheesecake is the two pleasure in one. Really great atmosphere for special occasions and our server Maria was so knowledgeable and friendly and made great recommendations. Really grateful for what they offered for the party.

Came here for a birthday party, the restaurant does not disappoint!  We probably have 20ppl, didn’t ask for a private room but they gave us a room and happy birthday on the menu. The price is alright, even a steak only command $48 lol Services was great, they keep coming back to change our plate lol The braised lamb is tender, we enjoyed the fire flamed savory sweet baked cheese, the chicken was good, the pasta was good, the fish was great!

Not up-to our expectations with price tag that's on the menu card. For example the Skordalia was served cold. The Chicken Kabob plate was okay but not something great that you get in other greek restaurants.

Food and service was just okay. The grilled calamari, hummus, and porter house were great but the rest didn’t really stack up. Atmosphere and service felt off not really sure how to explain it.

The food here was excellent. Had the Ocean Pasta that was out of this world. My Wife had the fish on a bed of sautéed spinach that was the best she ever had. Deserts, had the bread pudding and baklava that were as good as it gets 6 stars. And the coffee comes to the table in a French coffee press. This was a true delight. This was truly a great experience, and I plan on coming back very soon.

We have dined in and ordered take out from here a lot! During the pandemic we ordered the family meal for carryout. The food is ALWAYS on point. The staff is friendly and the place has a nice atmosphere. When the weather is nice, you can sit out in the patio for a different vibe. The drinks are good too. It’s hard to find a spot that has flavor in every bite. We’ve ordered the New York strips, salmon, chicken kabobs, lamb shank. You have to have the Greek potatoes with your entree! I attached some of the entrees we have ordered in the past and also the family meals we got to go. You have to try this place out!
