    We were a little worried because the people at the front desk were not very friendly or welcoming when we arrived. We went on Halloween around 6:30pm. It wasn't very busy, it just seemed as if they didn't want to be bothered. We almost walked out. Thankfully, we decided to stay and try it out. Our waiter was a different story. He was friendly and warm. We're pretty picky when it comes to Greek food, we grew up with Greek family members, so we're pretty familiar with the cuisine. Everything we had was great! We would definitely be back for the food. We still have our favorite in the city, but it's nice to have a spot close to home to get taramousalata from when we've got a craving.

    I came here for my work friend's birthday lunch. We were a big group and we got seated on a nice table. It felt quite busy as lots of people were visiting this place after their church service. Our food was very good - great selection of drinks as well.

    Amazingggg Spot for Greek food!!!!! We usually order the saganaki for appetizers and chicken kebab with veggies/rice for main course. So flavorful and yum! Wonderful service by the waiter!! Ambience reminds me of my visit to Greece :)

    Number one attraction: the tableside flaming saganaki cheese! Very rarely do you get to see this down tableside anymore, but it is so fun and truly adds to the flavor and texture when it's freshly flamed. You can tell that our server had a blast with this as well haha! Overall we love the food here, my parents and I often went to location in Greek Town while I was a student at UIC, so it's nice to have a more accessible location to us out here in the suburbs. The food is just as good as the Greek Town location! I love the gyros here, one of my favorites of the main Greek restaurants in the city. We also enjoyed the spanikopita, hummus, and chicken souvlaki (skewers). It's a true homey Greek restaurant with the expected decor and style, but I wouldn't have it any other way!

    Amazing. Absolutely amazing. I've been wanting to try this place for a while and was in the area on a Saturday night when the time finally came. When we pulled into the parking lot, the place was packed. We parked pretty far away and when we walked inside there were people everywhere, but somehow when we reached the hostess there was only a 5-15 minute wait. There is a lot of space inside and it seemed like the perfect fit for everyone - families with young kids, older couples, larger get together, etc. The menu is huge and was a bit intimidating to decide. We started with the flaming saganaki cheese and hot lima beans appetizers which were both so good! The flaming saganaki was definitely a crowd favorite with the presentation. Those two appetizers (along with the complimentary bread) actually filled us up pretty well so we split an entree. We chose something of the special menu which was chunks of lamb mixed with orzo inside a clay pot. It was so good and the lamb was the most tender thing I've ever had. Lots of delicious food. Great staff. Very decent prices. Highly recommend!

    I have been to the city location but why have I not been to this one that's closer to home?! So glad I was finally able to check out this location! It was what seemed like a pretty busy Saturday night. They do not take reservations and it is first come first serve basis. We didn't wait long, we were told 30 minute wait for 3 people. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves at their table. Everyone was chill, no one seemed like they were in a rush. My friends and I all shared everything. I ordered a avgolemono soup because I'm notorious for ordering soup everywhere. We got grilled octopus, spinach cheese pie, Mediterranean chicken breast, beef tenderloin shishkabob. It came with rice, potato, and vegetables. Everything was delicious! We were so full, but of course, there's always room for dessert. We decided on tiramisu.... And finished it. Guess the only complaint that we had was that our drink was way too sweet. We had to keep adding water to it. Although, I'm already looking forward to my next visit!!

    I have never had a bad meal here, no matter what day of the week or what time of the year. In fact, this place always shines. Everything, from the relaxing and warm interior, the top-notch service, and the extensive, authentic menu and generous portions all make for an experience that never disappoints. My favorites are the Roditi wine, saganaki, and greek chicken. They have a nice wine list as well. I always enjoy lunch or dinner here when I can. Opa!

    Do they take reservations for a Sunday night or in general?

    Only for "larger" parties. Phone first to clarify.

    Anyone know if restaurant is still open? Have been calling repeatedly Sunday evening 5/17, but no answer, no recording. Hmmm.

    Yes they are open. Patio seating $ carryout only due to Covid 19.

I ordered The Ellen, their plant-based burger, and it was fantastic. It's a Beyond Burger patty topped with vegan cheddar, guacamole, lettuce, tomato, and raw onion, all served on a soft pretzel bun. For a side, I had to try the poutine fries, and they were a total game-changer. They come out in a skillet and are absolutely loaded with gravy, cheese curds, bacon, and a dollop of sour cream. Super indulgent and the perfect comfort food. They charged extra for a dollop of mayonnaise! The service was very attentive. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area.

(full disclosure, we stopped in on a Monday night so that could be the cause for some of the experience....) We, a group of four, walked into a complete ghost town. There was barely a soul in the place. It didn't seem to affect anything with the food or service it just felt weird given the size of the bar and dining room area. Which, if you have a big group, this is a great spot to host a large gathering! Our waitress was very friendly and gave us ample attention, taking our orders quickly and delivering food that was hot and fresh. We had burgers (both were great but my Cartel was INCREDIBLE), a salad (tasty) and chicken fingers (yum!). Their burger menu has some fun options and covers a wide array of everything. The one thing that gave me pause, however, was that they only have pretzel buns (aside from gluten free). However, they were not dry at all and tasted delicious! The way a pretzel bun should! We left full and satisfied. I don't know how quickly we'll be back because there are so many other options for burgers out there but I'll certainly keep this spot in mind for the future!

A great place to golf no matter the weather and something fun to do in oakbrook. If you aren't super into golfing I highly recommend to book a bay where you can do the golf arcade games.

We'll grab coffee next door and maybe a couple of drinks from the bar. They tend to have a deal like buckets or bloody mary's. I've tried the food and not blown away but for having the option while you're there... not bad. As far as golfing, I think the simulator is great. The leveling platform is a fun element. It's fairly intuitive as far as tee height, changing your putt lineup, etc. I'm a beginner and have felt comfortable golfing horribly here. The putting green is a nice way to end the day on the way out or if you're not able to be seated immediately- take the chance to practice! Their staff is often busy but I would say reasonably so considering they're serving and helping with the simulators. Super kind and have seem them go the extra mile a few times now. Order early and I'm sure you'll get your fill Unless you're Joe, the guy who left that review sucks.
