    This came highly recommended to us and we were very satisfied! Food was excellent! Service was phenomenal too. Great stop if you're craving Greek food. We ordered the appetizer- OPA Cheese Saganaki, the Chicken Souvlaki and the Pork Souvlaki.

    Best lamb chops in SWFL!

    Our first visit to Greektown Taverna was delightful. First the staff was friendly, welcoming and attentive to our needs. The ambiance is casual and comfortable. They have Greek artifacts on the wall to enhance the ambiance. One of my friends informed me that they have music on some week night. We went on a Thursday night but no live music tonight! We have Chicken Kebob and Lamb chops. Both dishes were well seasoned with olive oil, herbs, garlic and well grilled. Wife loves her Chicken Kebob and the best lamb chops in SWFL! The roasted Greek potatoes, rice pilaf, broccoli and mixed vegetables are fresh and tasty! Our next table's Moussaka, Pastichio, Santorini Shrimps looking very inviting! They lighted the Saganaki Cheese on fire. We did not have dessert but as we leave baklava, galaktobureko, and rice pudding in the showcase are smiling at us!

    Greek salad with gyro meet- cost $17

    I love Mediterranean food and always looking for a good new spot to try. This venue is clean, service was impeccable, I literally had to ask for nothing because they had every attention to detail. Before I could even ask for the server she was already at my table with a glass of water with . Portion sizes are large, the Greek salad with gyro meet was very good. I wasn't crazy about the house dressing for the salad but it was still good. The atmosphere is very casual, more family style so it's not a first date type of place. Definitely a place to try though and it looks like they have great lunch specials too.

    Uncleared table from previous night

    This photo was taken a few minutes before they opened today. Finished my grocery shopping after they opened, lights on with staff inside by then, table still not cleared. Draw your own conclusions ...

    We had a group of 21 girls and guys from our water aerobic class attend lunch here. Food was excellent, prices were fair and service by Patricia C could not have been better. I think those who ordered the Greek salad or the "bowls" were Extremely happy.

    Greek gyro with chicken.

    We noticed this restaurant a few times and decided to stop in for lunch. It's in a good location, but kind of hidden from the street. We both ordered the traditional gyros, which came with fries and a Greek salad. The salad was crisp and very fresh. The gyros were large and filled with meat, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers and tzatziki. I had the chicken gyro with fries, Alan had a beef gyro with rice. Alan gave his lunch a 5 star rating. He likes Greek food although Greek restaurants can be hard to find. This restaurant is spacious and has live music a couple of times a week. They have a varied menu and the food we ordered was well made and arrived quickly. The restaurant was clean and the service was good. This is a great restaurant when you're craving Greek food and the prices are reasonable too.

    So called Keftedes. Basically hamburger meat. Raw in the middle.

    We stopped in to grab a bite at what we thought was authentic Greek food. Key word, 'thought'. Firstly, the interior is sad for a Greek restaurant. Old brown sitting as if you were still at the old previous breakfast place. We ordered the beef Keftedes (Greek Meatballs) and they were absolutely horrible. The meat was literally soaked in oil and drizzled with more oil. It had a weird taste, and when it was broken apart, (literally fell apart) it was pink inside, so it obviously was not cooked thoroughly and it was basically a ground beef patty thrown in a pan of oil. If you've ever eaten authentic Keftedes, they are supposed to first of all bind, not fall apart, have savory spices, garlic, mint... none of these ingredients were in them. Plainly a hamburger with nothing on it, but shaped like they were to resemble something they are not. Off-putting. Furthermore; The ingredients on the menu did not match what was put out on the plate. We both ordered the gyro platter thinking that if a restaurant can't cook an authentic, simple gyro, then we're not coming back. It was unimpressive. The Gyro pieces were oily and very thick. The french fries - you could tell were frozen as they had no taste to them, no seasoning. The pita bread was cut in little pieces. It had a weird smell to it, and again you could tell it was frozen, not fresh. The tomato slices and cucumbers were huge, with no taste. Probably GMO vegetables. Even the tszadziki sauce was obviously from a jar or package, very thick no aromatic smell of dill as authentic Greek sauce should. This entire experience was gross, uninviting with outdated interiors, oily meat, and unappetizing. We could just tell that not one single thing was made fresh, not even the bread that was brought out in the beginning with the dipping oil, the bread was crumbling and it tasted like it was a day or two old. We will never be coming back. This was DEFINITELY NOT authentic Greek Cuisine. Check out my other reviews of amazing Greek places we have visited.

    Grouper

    This place was busy on a Wednesday night but our party of seven had reservations and were seated immediately. The waiter gave us water glasses and carafes of water for the table. I ordered a peach martini -- very good and reasonably priced. Husband enjoyed his old-fashioned. Big menu -- hard to decide what to order! I went with the Athenian shrimp. They had a good flavor and were served with a basic rice pilaf and veggies. I wished the tails were not on them, though. My sons loved their chicken Alfredo and chicken gyro platter which were good sized. Husband was a bit disappointed at the size of his grouper. The live music lent a nice atmosphere.

    Pastitsio!!!

I love their paintings on the wall. We started off with a small portion of tzatziki and fresh warm pita bread wrapped with a blue napkin. Wife ordered a Pastitsio or a Greek lasagna. It is flavorful! The portion is huge, she took half portion home! I have a "low tide", scallops, shrimps, mussels over pasta. It was so good I slurped in less than 5 minutes! The Greek salads were superb. Two tables over, they have the lamb chops, chicken liver and Soupa Avgolemono or egg-lemon soup. Very nice and authentic Greek food served here! We were so full and skipped our favorite Baklava, chopped walnuts and pistachios with filo dough and serve with honey. With the heavy rain late in the afternoon, only a few tables were occupied. In season, this place is packed. The service is impeccable and the price is reasonable. A great place for Greek food!

We came on a random weekday for lunch and it was busy. We ordered a gyro and a veggie pita, I thought they were both delish. I loved that it came with feta. As a side I ordered some falafels, they were perfect. It's the first time I'd seen them in this shape but I didn't mind. The flavors of our meals wee great and tasted fresh. The service was fantastic. Would come back.
