It was awesome! Only bummer was my no-carbon diet. Kristie, our waitress, was great; super patient with all my questions - it was our first time there. We sat by the kitchen and saw all the amazing food coming out. My grilled chicken Greek salad was perfect - juicy chicken, feta on top. Best Greek salad ever! It beat my go-to spot in Virginia Beach. Kristie made the evening better with sevice. We're from Long Island and totally going back (diet's off!). Hope we get Kristie again. read more

We decided on Greek tonight, toss of the dice, and here we landed. Wow, just wow. We met our host and bartender, Demetri, at the door, and our server Nino, both very attentive. We are so very impressed. What a quaint little restaurant. Music was great. We ordered froze 16, and honey gin martini and some appetizers, Lemon Ricotta pistachio special and hot honey feta spread. This was so good it could have been its own meal. But we didn't stop there. Got some more spreads to try and entrées. My entrées spinach pie and my husband's chicken soulvaki. We couldn't order dessert because we were stuffed. We will be back! read more

I love the food here, and often order delivery. Just a warm suggestion swap out the iceberg lettuce for romaine (so the dressing permeates nicely). I ordered the souvlaki platter to go, but to my surprise, the salad was made with iceberg. For a $30 price tag, iceberg isn't worth it. read more

Very good food! The place is cute, friendly service and the portions are quite big too! The appetizers (Garlic & Oil spicy shrimp, spanakopita and fried calamari) were delicious! Entrees we got skirt steak in a pita which was a little disappointing because the meat was too well done for our taste. The ladies got two unbelievable Greek salad plates with grilled shrimp skewers seasoned to perfection! We will definitely be coming back to this restaurant. read more

This spot is nearby to me, so I decided to check it out. We decided to start off with the shrimp ajillo as an appetizer. It was a little spicy and came with a side of pita bread to dip in the sauce the shrimp came with. It was delicious! For an entree, I ordered the chicken souvlaki platter, and my boyfriend ordered the chimichurri steak panini. The souvlaki platter portion size was definitely enough for two meals for me. It came with a side salad, a spread (I got the spicy feta which I highly recommend), and an option of Greek fries or grilled vegetables. I have celiac disease, so I went with the grilled vegetables option and they were very good (red peppers, zucchini, and eggplant). The waiter was very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions we had. I would definitely come back here again. read more

Amazing service. Beautiful environment, most importantly food is so good! Calamari for appetizer is highly recommended.

We had reservations for 3 people at 4.00 o'clock on mother's day. We walked in the place was empty except for 3 tables that where eating their main course. We asked to sit near the window where there were tables vacant. They said we're going to be very busy later...? They took a long time to check up on us and get us started and when they came back with our drinks they were served in dirty glasses and when we asked for new ones they kept messing up our order. The smell was funky and the waiters were taking their time and were no where to be found would give 0 stars if possible DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

Unbelievable food rivaled only by the unbelievable service by danielle, dimitry, and frankie. Jorge the chef came out to show thanks for how pleased we were with the meal. Wildly under appreciated place that deserves more recognition read more

PS: I stole some pics from other customers bc we ate all of ours before we could take pics read more

Maybe its because it was a Tuesday night, but I doubt it. The heat was not working and it was bitterly cold. There was no bourbon at the bar even though several of the "specialty" cocktails are bourbon-based. The mussels in the paella had no meat in them. The ladies' room was completely out of toilet paper (and no, there were no paper towels). When the wait staff was informed, they took a half used roll from the mens' room which suggests there was no extra toilet paper. They were out of tea and had no decaf coffee. As a plus, the wait staff was nice and tried very hard to please our group. It appears, however, that management has completely given up on this place. My first time, and my last. read more

Beautiful restaurant! Love the Mediterranean vibes, the staff and waiter were wonderful. Food was delicious and super flavorful, not pictured was the delicious watermelon margarita. Would totally come back, would love to check out their boozy brunch some day read more

If you're searching for exceptional dining, Fava is the spot to visit. This restaurant specializes in Greek and Mediterranean cuisines, offering truly outstanding dishes. Trust me, you won't be let down. To start, their pizzas are some of the best you'll ever have. And don't miss their Greek salad, apple burrata salad, and steak and chicken and shrimp platters--everything, including their pastas, is incredibly delicious. You won't regret your meal here. However, what keeps us returning time and again, every Friday is the outstanding service. Frankie and Christy are simply remarkable; they truly elevate the Fava experience. Their skills ensure you feel right at home, and we love them for it. Fava has a cozy atmosphere that we appreciate, and Christy consistently impresses with her inventive and delightful drink creations--she's truly one of the best. Frankie is the star of the show, as well. His attention to detail, quick on his feet attitude is amazing. You can tell he enjoys what he does and it shows through his service that he extends to all who dine at Fava. I would say Frankie and Christy are the definition of excellency in customer service. Also - their Executive Chef - Jorge - simply phenomenal. Clearly, If you're uncertain about where to dine for lunch or dinner today, head over to Fava. You are going to love it! read more

The restaurant itself is cozy but spacious. Kristy was our server and there aren't enough nice things I could say about her. She went above and beyond, helpful and kind. We got cocktails to start which were all delicious. For the food I got the Mediterranean quinoa salad with grilled shrimp, outstanding. Definitely will be returning and would recommend to try if you haven't already. read more

Went there for lunch today & everything was delicious! I started off with a cucumber spritz to refresh the palate lol. We shared the salad with apples, cranberries, walnuts & balsamic dressing and the Tuscan panini with a side of the Greek French fries! We also had the avocado spread & a kids pizza. All of the portions were huge, including the child's pizza!!! Our waiter was very attentive even though we were the only ones in there bc they just opened! He kept refilling our water glasses...service with a smile! The atmosphere was very cute with all of the flowers. They even have a swing by the bathroom...great IG/Snapchat spot! Highly recommend Fava! Xoxo read more

We came here for a friend's 50th bday and to our surprise, place was wonderful. Food was amazing and the service was great. We were pleasantly surprised at the ambiance, service and food was amazing. Loved the food, was top notch, by far the best food I've had in a long time. They even had a photo zone to take wonderful pics with the flower decor. It was such a quaint, small place, not too crowded and just a wonderful experience. To be honest, I was not expecting much since it was in S.I but we all had a fantastic time and food exceeded our expectation. We will most likely come back, prob more often if it wasn't for the $$$ Verrazano bridge. Props to our friend who randomly picked looking thru yelp. This is a must restaurant to go and enjoy fabulous food, service and experience. read more

Well me and my wife decided on Fava for our date night, we walked in and the restaurant felt very welcoming. The staff was very friendly, our server Nino was very genuine and well spoken, he recommended the baked feta to share which can i say absolutely delicious! For our main dish me and my wife shared shrimp francese and the fritto misto and those were also amazing. I don't usually leave reviews but my wife and I were so impressed with the service and the recommendations that nino gave us , I had to give a good rating and share my experience. I will 110% percent be returning! read more

A cute place with a bright vibrant decor. Spot - on Mediterranean food and great service. My family and I went there for their grand opening yesterday and we had an overall positive experience. First , our server was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. But the star of the show was definitely the food. Can't comment on the drinks because I'm 9 months pregnant. We started off with the spinach pie - my all time favorite Greek dish and it was delicate , crispy & flavorful. Then we had the shrimp alijo , again very flavorful and robust and not overly pungent like some places. I had chose the shrimp skewers with grilled vegetables and Greek salad with a choice of a spread. I really liked it , straight forward and really delicious and I chose the fava dip and it was great almost tasted like a pistachio pesto . My husband got the steak skewers and that was marinated very well and not dry at all. We also had our friend stop in and he got the pasta dish ( money bag pasta) looked amazing . No dessert for the night . I also think it's worth mentioning the owner Chris , we had a 2 year old and he was nice as can be . He brought out a little pizza dough for my kid to play with so we could eat . It worked & she loved it ! Would I recommend this new place ? Yes or course and best of all it's family friendly. read more

The decor and service at this place is very good. All the food was big portions and yummy. Def get the zucchini chips.

Food was excellent, service was not. Ambiance was a touch too loud. Table next us was vacant from previous patron and remained uncleaned for an extended period of time. Music was a bit too loud for a small seating area. My wife had to ask 3 times for a second martini and I never received a 2nd glass of wine. Without asking if we were interested in dessert the waiter just asked if we were all done. We needed to ask for a dessert menu. I had ordered coffee with our dessert order, the coffee never came. The waiter just brought the check. However, the food was excellent but definitely can use more professional waiters and service providers. read more
