The food and the ambience in the back patio definitely surprised us!! Everything was amazing but the highlights are definitely the spicy feta dip, the chicken skewers, and the grilled squid. The iced tea was also perfect and so refreshing for a hot day! The back patio is so calm and vibey. I'd definitely come for food and bring a book to read or hang out. Such a beautiful and welcoming environment. Can't say enough good things about this place. So impressed!!

We were having an absolutely incredible night here--the atmosphere on Abbot Kinney is great, and…read morethe overall experience was fantastic until the bill arrived. Without any warning or clear disclosure on the menu, a 4.7% service charge was tacked onto our final check. Under California law (SB 1524), restaurants are required to clearly and conspicuously disclose these types of fees before you order. Sneaking it in at the very end feels completely deceptive and instantly put a damper on what should have been a great memory. I'd love to come back for the food, but I won't support businesses that rely on sneaky billing traps. Check your receipts closely before you pay!

We were seated on the patio right against the edge over looking the amazing view and beach. Food and drinks were amazing. The service was great. Park downstairs in the building, valet is $10 and convenient! The valet guys are so sweet as is the staff in the lobby greeting you to come in. Love the music they play there and standing in the elevator the music starts off the vibe to a great experience. Make sure you make reservations. We got in since it was still early in the day but it is a new place and will get busy!

Pretty little bar with an amazing view over the whole westside…read more As expected it was fairly pricey for small drinks and small portions. Location, location, location right....!?! Food was fresh and delicious. Greek fries could have been crunchier, but were seasoned well. Watermelon salad was fresh and delightful. The asparagus was bland. Everything in the appetizer size. The service was friendly and attentive. I called to reserve a booth with view towards the water. She couldn't promise me one. When I was there, there were reserved signs on those tables. Kids had to sit on high chairs on a high table...

Phenomenal. Instantly transported to the Plaka in Athens by this meal…read more Cool, airy atmosphere with sidewalk seating. An open concept for seating but still feels intimate. Service is prompt and without fuss. Pricing is fair, considering the gigantic portions. The dishes are easily shareable (if you are inclined to do so). One of the great things about going in a group is you can try a variety. Here's the scoop. Keftedes- nicely cooked. Grilled veggies - was supposed to be a mixture of eggplant, zucchini, onions, and peppers. This was predominately eggplant (which suited me just fine). Have a feeling it's how it's scooped on the plate when serving. Solid flavor and a huge portion. Souvlaki - asked for one pork and one chicken skewer to try them both. Both winners. Nicely grilled exterior and still juicy. The tzatziki was bright, creamy and lightly garlicky. Chopped onions, tomatoes, lettuce, and lemon wedges are also provided with pita if you feel like making little sandwiches. I prefer to use the pita to sop up the sauces. Bifteki- this was THE dish, hands down. The bifteki were cooked perfectly- grilled outside, tender and juicy inside. Seasoning was simple but flawless. I substituted the fries (which were good - I nabbed some from another plate) but the lemon potatoes stole the show. Incredible flavor. I did not want this dish to end, and will probably order it every time I visit. (If only I could convince someone to order the octopus and the moussaka. I have to try them but this portion is already huge.) Another thing I will order next time is a bottle of Malamatina. This retsina is so difficult to find in the US but is mind blowing when served icy cold. Yes. I said next time. This restaurant will be on permanent rotation when I'm in town.

We've been here many times and would say this is one of our favorite Greek restaurants in the area…read more The service is hit or miss though, so 3 stars it is. You can't go wrong with the chicken souvlaki plate or the chicken pita wrap. Both come with generous portions of chicken, pita, dip, and veggies. The souvlaki is quite large as it comes with two skewers and I always take half of it to go - two meals in one! I tried the chicken pita wrap today and it came with tons of french fries, nice and crispy and well-seasoned. I would have preferred to not have the fries in the pita as it made the pita a bit hard to navigate. We also ordered the garlic dip with crudites and when I asked the waiter if the dip was garlicky, he replied "it's garlic dip." I thought maybe he misunderstood, so I asked again for clarification and he repeated the exact response a second time. It came across as unnecessarily rude ad dismissive. The dish itself was not that garlicky as it was made with breadcrumbs which he could have just described when asked about it the first time. The food was good overall, but the service interaction left a bad impression. We've had other waiters who were super friendly and helpful before, so this was hopefully a one-off. Parking is plentiful in the area, take your pick from meters or neighborhood parking.

I had the pork belly gyro plate that comes with fries or rice, pita bread, tzatziki and a salad. It's a great deal for the amount of food you get. I also tried their new side dish, spanakopita, and it was pretty good. They also have Greek desserts like loukoumades and baklava. There are a few tables inside but most of the orders are to go. Free parking is available at the front of the store.

It was my first time at Nick the Greek and I absolutely loved it!…read more Parking in the plaza was limited but easy to find that day (despite being on the weekend), right in front of the restaurant. I was looking to find something quick to take out and enjoy on a beautiful day and The Mediterranean Bowl + small drink were perfect. The bowl offered a great balance of flavors and was of good size. Basmati rice, Kale/greens, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Basmati rice, Chickpeas, Pickled Onions, Lamb. It was so delicious! Service was pleasant and the wait time minimal. I'll definitely try the other items on the menu and I'm glad to know of the multiple locations.

We had their Lentil soup and it was some of the best with just the right amount of spice. We also loved their salmon and they have great rice and salad. The Chicken shawarma wrap has so much chicken and it is so flavorful and not at all dry like some wraps at other places. The steak kebabs are cooked perfectly and so tender. It is all great.

The hostess was very kind…read morewith a warm greet at the entrance which is stunning, floral, vibrant with lights and well lit tables. Our server was attentive and present all through the evening. All of the appetizers were rather small portioned for the price. Nonetheless very tasty just a little small for my liking and a dinner table of 5 guests. - The Street Style corn was 3/5 it almost tasted artificially sweet, it came with the smallest serving of pita bread. It took two additional orders of the bread to actually enjoy the appetizer. - The Wagyu hummus was 4/5, tasty but I feel you're mainly paying the sticker price of $35 for the smallest pieces of the meat. - Skirt steak was 4/5 its rather hard to mess up a skirt steak but it could've used extra seasoning. Potatoes on the side seemed to just be thrown next to cuts of asparagus. - Lasagnette Bolognese 4/5 seemed pretty traditional aside from the noodles, it was like uncut lasagna sheets which was a nice twist on the dish but a pretty standard sauce. - Chicken Parm 5/5, the parm was rather large, about two palms together in size. The plate seemed to be slightly spiced which was savory. - Chocolate Souffle was 3/5, nothing too special about the dish, for $18 I was hoping for something a little more savory then a brownie bite sized loaf that may have been baked for a few minutes served next to a very small portion of their 'house made ice cream'. Thank you for the memories, not entirely sure I would be back. My bill of just under $500 did not really seem to be worth it.

I could say that much. My cousin enjoyed his alcohol of choice, and together we shared some pretty good chicken tenders. All in all a pretty solid experience given the expected noise, chaos, and anything else that goes along with a Super Bowl halftime show, much less the game itself.
