    The real ones know Neo as one of Worcester's best kept secrets. Strong drinks, a free buffet every night, and a great crowd of locals. The owner is one of the kindest people I've ever met. He feeds the local homeless people of the city and feeds everyone who comes into his bar free of charge. He's a no nonsense kind of guy that takes care of the bar largely himself, which turns some people away. I've been coming here since my college days and I've never seen him act unkind towards anyone. The bouncer has also helped my friends and I out with a few drunk men who became too handsy and unfriendly. If you're looking for a safe place to enjoy some food and drinks, Neo's your spot

    I like the atmosphere. The place is clean and new. Service is great. We had special drink that bar tender made for us. It's a good place to watch sports games.

    Best drinks in Worcester!!! The owner was super nice and was very creative in the drinks he was making for us. We really enjoyed the vibes and the drinks here. Awesome spot in Worcester! Definitely a hidden gem.

    First time here last night and definitely returning. Great drinks, great people! Huge karaoke selection, and everyone is so uplifting. Bar tender was hilarious! Highly recommended if you're looking to have a great night out with girlfriends, or even your partner. Great music selection as well. Loved the dj!

    Place is tight, would recommend to locals, visitors, and students. Incredible vibes, look for Megan Myers on the mic. Girl puts the kar in karaoke.

    Best mojito in the Woo!

    Small spot on Shrewsbury St. Inside decor was nice despite the somewhat small space. We had…read morereservations for 5 before a show. The entire restaurant was empty aside from 2 tables when we arrived. They crammed us literally 6 inches away from 1 of the 2 tables filled. I initially was taken aback but the two ladies sitting next to us kindly slid their table over a tad to give us more space (we were beside a wall to the other side near the door). Honestly - I'm glad I didn't say anything because by 5:30 the entire restaurant was filled and it was nice to have nobody on one side of us. They served bread drizzled with olive oil with some olives to start. There was nothing particularly wrong with the bread, however, being a Greek restaurant, it may have made a lot more sense to serve fresh warm pita as the starter bread course. We ordered the Feta Saganaki to start. That was absolutely the star of the entire show! Very crispy on the outside with a hot gooey feta cheese on the inside, drizzled with ample amounts of honey, and sprinkled with sesame seeds. Absolutely to die for. I started with the Greek sangria - it was fine, but nothing special. My husband got one of the three espresso martini options and he really enjoyed his drink. The restaurant got busy very quickly and it didn't seem they had enough waitstaff on. Everyone was sort of running around with their heads cut off, and service was slow and inattentive at times. For dinner, I had the moussaka. It was very salty and the béchamel sauce on top was sort of gelatinous. It didn't taste bad, but it was a very odd consistency. My husband got the kebab plate with steak and chicken. It was served over a bed of rice with a small side salad. Nobody came back to the table to ask how our meals were after serving us. We really needed salt and pepper, which was not on the table and my husband wanted to order another drink. We had to ask two different servers before we got the drink, but never got the salt or pepper. We took a piece of baklava home to enjoy after the show. It was delicious! We are not in the area and it's unlikely that we would be back to this restaurant in the future. We are foodies at heart and had this been a delicious meal - we likely would have driven all the way back to Worcester just for dinner. It unfortunately sort of missed the mark.

Well I've eaten at a lot of Greek restaurants here and in Greece and this is one of the best places I've ever been to, to have a good sit down Greek meal. Where I live there are great restaurants for any type of cuisine you can imagine and a great Greek restaurant but the one near me is more like the best fast food in Greece. (A gyro wrap is the most traditional Greek fast food you can get). If people every ask me where to go to try other great Greek dishes, I will tell them to go there, 10 minutes from where I live and and on the eat home come by and drop off their left overs. They accommodated us for a table of 7 and although it can be a bit loud, you can still talk to anyone in your party. But i would recommend getting a reservation so you don't have to rely on luck like we did. The prices might be a little higher than some of your typical sit down restaurants, but worth every penny.

Since I live an hour away, I…read morewanted to grab dinner at a reasonable time, and Kosmos turned out to be the perfect choice. My rookie mistake was not making a reservation on a Saturday night, but luckily, there were seats at the bar. The decor is simple yet stylish, but the vibe really stands out. IT was warm, lively and inviting. Every single staff member was welcoming and even the customers were friendly. This has been one of the best dining experiences I have experienced since moving to MA. The food was so good that I actually made the drive back and yes, I drove an hour there to eat (2 hours round trip).It's one of the best Greek food I've had in a long time, it is comparable to what I enjoyed when I visited Greece. For salads, the Horiatiki salad is a must. Appetizers, Kataifi shrimp was perfectly fried with a sauce that is sweet with a hint of spice. But, the grilled octopus, this is a must. You have to order it. I have not found a spot that cooks grilled octopus this good anywhere in NYC or here. This dish has brought me back to Greece. If you are dining with a large group, go for the Giovetsi Thalassinon. One of my absolute favorite dishes at Kosmos. The pasta grains are cooked perfectly, and the generous portion of seafood make it worth every penny. My wife and I like to call it a Greek paella. For meat lovers, the Poikia Keaton is also really good with different grilled meats on the dish. If they have any specials that night or day, you must try one of them. Overall, Kosmos delivers on everything; great food and warm hospitality which makes the drive worth it. This is hands down my favorite restaurant up here at MA.

This time, I took advantage of their vegetarian signatures section which was very much appreciated for my dietary preferences. Ain't nobody got time to wade through an entire menu to find something they can eat. I ultimately settled on the grilled veggie pocket and requested, IN ALL CAPS FOR EMPHASIS, no onions and mushrooms PLEASE. We also ordered their mac and cheese to share. I'll start with the good. The mac and cheese was DELICIOUS. It's covered in breadcrumbs and croutons, which is an interesting addition. The sauce is creamy and the noodles were a touch al dente. It was just as good when we warmed up the leftovers the following day. Unfortunately they completely disregarded my request for no onions or mushrooms. If they were unable to do that because the mix is pre-made, which is actually kinda gross as I imagine refrigeration is required and this defeats the purpose of "grilled", they could have done what other places have done which is CALL ME. What if I had an anaphylactic allergy? Fortunately, I don't, but was faced with the decision point of either just not having anything to eat other than a shared portion of mac and cheese or ripping through the pita and sifting through each of the vegetables individually to remove the onions and mushrooms which was EXCRUCIATING to do because the onions were tiny strips. Sigh. There was also no other component besides grilled veggies in a sauce in a pita and the bottom of the pita was soggy. Fuck this place. I will never order from here again.

It was definitely full of whimsy and love. Our table was ready right on time. The spanakopita was an unexpected large bubble of dough vs traditional, so if you want traditional, heads up. It was fine, though. They had a decent Valentine's Day themed drink menu too. I'd guess it was their normal drinks with cute names for the day, but as a first timer I could be way off here. The short ribs were large, meaty and tender. Quite delicious. The mashed potatoes were cold but at least if you had a bite with the meat you couldn't tell as much.

Neither the signs nor the decor have changed, only the menu and the staff. We should have known this was going to be a disaster. No one was around to greet us. We selected a table, and within minutes were handed menus without a greeting. We quickly decided on our entrees, only to be advised by our waiter that most of the items on the menu were not available. No stuffed peppers, no moussaka, no pastitsio. nothing. So, we opted for one tilapia with grilled green peppers, and one baked halibut dinner . Greek salads arrived after 10 minutes. They were okay--- fresh but uninspired. After another 15 minutes, we both received grilled tilapia. The presentation was terrible ... a piece of unattractive fish with 5 or 6 tiny pepper slices, lightly marinated with Greek salad dressing. It was accompanied by buttered rice. Tasteless. I can forgive many things, but poor service is unacceptable. Our waiter was bad tempered and unable to communicate effectively. I suspect this is the first time these folks have ever run a restaurant. Our bill arrived, we were charged for two vegetable kabobs, an item that wasn't even on the menu. The tilapia was listed on the menu at $10.99; the kabobs $12.99. We paid the bill provided and left a very minimal tip. We couldn't wait to get out. I doubt arguing with the waiter would have been productive. It is very simple -- don't go to Acropolis. The food is poor and the service is terrible. There are so many choices in West Boylston, there is no reason to come here.
