Hearing that sentiment I was intrigued because I never thought about a fish gyro. So when it came out the staff asked what would I like one it. I'm not gonna lie the fish was cooked to perfection. Golden brown and looking like your favorite uncle made it. I asked for the works and as he struggled to close the sandwich I had a bit of excitement on my face, because I was ready for my 2009 chipotle wrapped gyro (not sure if they still fill them like that). And the first bite I felt like an influencer who got paid to give there opinion. Making one of those OMG I can't believe this food taste so good faces willing to throw anything around (I threw my napkin across the table for the effect). But seriously the gyro was really good, it was satisfying, light and immensely flavorful. The restaurant was clean and tidy. Its worth a trip if your in the area and your welcome for the gem!

The hostess was good, she wanted to seat us in an enclosed section, saying it was warmer. The waitress returned to our table often and met all of our needs. The food was yummy and fresh. I enjoyed bringing some home to eat the next day. This restaurant should have 3 dollar signs because 95% of the entrees are over $30. One star is lost for atmosphere. No matter how nice the decor was, needing my coat and scarf to eat indoors was ridiculous. You see the reason we weren't seated in the warmer section (the hostess's words) was because the owner told her to seat us elsewhere. We learned that he was the owner when our waitress gave us rice pudding from Rudy. We didn't complain and that pudding almost earned the star back. UNTIL my husband stopped at a room heater that was positioned away from our table. Ugh

One thing I noticed about the customer service was that I was asking a lot of questions because of an allergy, but the server kept looking at and speaking to the other person at the table. Fortunately the server appeared to be knowledgeable and helped me eliminate some dishes. The unsweetened iced tea came without any sugar packets and mostly ice. Tea quality was very good. The baba ghanoush was fine. More tahini, less salt and smoky flavor than preferred or used to. The trouble started with the entrees. Besides the hidden pita, the food was unseasoned and the Doner meat was neither crispy nor tender. The lamb shish kebab was very tender. The rice was very buttery but was undercooked and inedible. It was the most seasoned food that day. When we were finally to bring the seasoning and rice issues up, we did not get great solutions. We asked for but never received grilled onions. For example, we asked for another (starchy) side besides rice but got more rice. We were offered sautéed vegetables, which were frozen except for some red peppers. When I discovered I was allergic to the entree despite asking and explaining, the server cut me off and wanted to leave before I finished talking. Even after the food allergy debacle, it was almost another forty minutes to get the bill and get the payment back. I never got the rice pudding that came with my meal special. Went somewhere else down the way after over two hours for a late lunch since all I had was some of the baba ghanoush with veggies and side salad. The food was not seasoned well despite being mostly fresh; the service was dour and inattentive after the first interaction; and it was unhelpfully slow despite being one of three small tables at its busiest.

And don't even get me started on dessert The presentation was so cute with the "Happy Birthday" chocolate and candle--super thoughtful and beautifully plated. Everything looked just as good as it tasted. From the appetizers to the main course to dessert, the food was top tier. If you're looking for elevated Greek cuisine with a luxe feel, Xenia is definitely a must-visit. Perfect for date night, birthdays, or just treating yourself to a really good meal.

The restaurant is casual with a decent amount of seating, but a lot of people were getting to go orders. I'll only review what I got. The fried cauliflower is a must have! I love cauliflower and roast it regularly, so I'm strict when it comes to restaurant cauliflower. I wish we had ordered two of these! The cauliflower was the perfect texture and the chipotle sauce had the perfect amount of heat. For my meal, I got the veggies platter and it is an ABUNDANCE of food for only $14!! The pumpkin and chickpeas were chef's kiss! But the spinach?? I'm not a big fan of spinach, so I don't know what they did to make it taste so good! Sautéd with onion and garlic to perfection! They messed one thing up with our order. We ordered the mezze sampler, but they gave us a falafel platter instead. The hummus was good, so we didn't complain or call back. I definitely recommend this place! The portions are generous and the food is flavorful!

Off the bat I knew the bread was going to be amazing just by how hot and airy it was. The beef kabob was so flavorful and tender. The chicken wasn't quite as good in my opinion but it was cooked absolutely perfectly. I wish it had a little spice or punch to the flavor. The sauce that came with both dishes was also very good. The star of the meal was the mantu. It's hard to describe to someone who hasn't had it but it's a dumpling with a bunch of seasoning and sauce on top. I wasn't a huge fan of the consistency of the pumpkin, I wish it was more a mashed potato fluffiness. Overall, I'd say this place is my new go-to for beef kabobs.

It is worth walking around the restaurant to view all the pretty decorations. The menus are media pads that don't get wiped off (gross). I don't understand how a restaurant that has technology (and a robot busser) can't sort out separate checks. Groups of six or more are charged a 20% service charge. Large groups are charged a $25 fee for using a credit card. My suggestion is stop handing out the pretty bags for leftovers and get rid of the credit card fee. We have a group of eight that meets once a month. We won't be back as a group. It might be fun to return sometime with less people and watch belly dancing. The menu is extensive (a bit confusing on the media pad) and has vegan and vegetarian options. The portions are decent. The items are flavorful and most are pricey. Guests who split a dish with someone are charged $15 for not ordering an entree. The watermelon margarita was pretty. I appreciated pitchers of water at the table. The cold hummus trio was tiny and tasty. The red lentil soup was nicely seasoned and barely warm. The sweet potatoes were nicely presented, flavorful and not filling. The red sauce wasn't too spicy but ketchup tasted better. The lamb moussak eggplant dish was large. The Doneri Iskender lamb dish was $10 more with bread and sauce. The vegetable kebab had zucchini & squash. My friend didn't want the rice & bread so she substituted a salad. $40 for a skewer & small salad seemed excessive. The salad with chicken was large. Everyone enjoyed the lamb. The desserts were large enough to share. The noodle breaded dessert was interesting. I enjoyed seeing the dishes. The Chocolate cake was yummy. The baklava was sweet and good. They only had the green flavor. The server was mostly locked into our needs. The manager gave everyone a pretty to go bag. You can see the menu on your phone & can avoid the over used media pad.
