    Great breakfast every time. So many great options and the staff is always friendly. Soft music plays in the background.

    Interesting spot! We're from out of town and have enjoyed a handful of restaurants in Saugus. We tend to stop here when flying in and out of Boston. We tried Ithaki without doing much research, and to our surprise it ended up being a bit fancier than we expected (the other places we've tried nearby are definitely more casual). The staff was warm, accommodating, and kind. They didn't have any availability (which actually surprised us) but offered seats at the bar for dinner. The bar ended up being a great experience, and we didn't feel out of place at all. The food itself was really good. My husband ordered the moussaka, one of his favorite Greek dishes, and he kept saying it was the best he's had in New England. My chicken dish was tasty and absolutely massive; I took half home. It came with these delicious carrots, though the sauce was a bit on the greasier side. We also split a halloumi salad that was good, but not the best salad I've ever had by any means. We'd definitely return, especially now that we know it's a solid date-night spot. The food was great and fairly priced, the staff was nice, and overall we really enjoyed our meal.

    LOVE Ithaki. Food is always excellent. I've been there multiple times and the quality and taste of the food is always is authentic and above average.

    Outstanding Experience at Ithaki in Peabody! Quickly became a favorite. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm, attentive service and an inviting, elegant atmosphere. The Mediterranean-inspired menu is packed with fresh, vibrant flavors--everything is beautifully prepared and thoughtfully presented with upmost finesse. Ithaki delivered an amazing dining experience for our long overdue date night. Baked Feta An absolute must try dish. Served warm, the feta is perfectly creamy on the inside with a golden, slightly crisp top wrapped in phyllo, sprinkled with pistachio crumbs & drizzled with honey. The contrast of the warm cheese with the honey & the tangy pomegranate is perfection. Falafel a la Petros Crispy on the outside, soft and perfectly spiced on the inside--every bite is packed with fresh herbs and bold Mediterranean flavor. It's served beautifully with a delicious house made hummus and pita. Moroccan Crusted Tuna Cooked perfectly with a wonderful sear on the tuna. Packed with an abundance of Mediterranean flavor served with Harissa hummus puree, lentils with spinach & finocio. Youvetsi Braised lamb that just melts-in-your-mouth tender, perfectly seasoned, and served over orzo in a tomato-wine sauce that's both comforting and deeply flavorful.

    A lovely, busy Greek restaurant. I started my meal with a nice expresso martini; my friend enjoyed the Persephone. I needed a light meal, so I chose the egg lemon soup and mussels. The waiter was right, there was enough for two. My friend had the cod. My only disappointments were the afterdinner masticha drink - a very light and aromatic drink. I think I did not care for their brand. Also the galatoboreko was over saturated with overly sweet syrup and needed more custard. Otherwise, a wonderful meal.

    chicken souvlaki
    Em B.

    We came here on a Friday night and everything was so good! If you'd like a booth, you may want to make a reservation but otherwise, we were seated right away. Jenny is a 5 star server, super attentive and went above and beyond our entire visit. I really appreciate her hospitality. We started with the souvlaki, the scallops and the octopus. The souvlaki is tender and flavorful. The scallops with the mushrooms, asparagus, whipped potatoes and cranberry were some of the best I've ever tried, and I would absolutely get the meal next time. The octopus was cooked to perfection and the fava with the garlic aioli + arugula is delicious. Their Broken Rake drink was amazing, as well as the desserts. The chocolate cake is extremely decadent and I especially loved the galactobouriko! broken rake 5/5 souvlaki 4.5/5 octopus 5/5 scallops 5/5 galactobouriko 5/5 choc cake 4/5 (if you're a choc lover it would be a 5) I highly recommend checking out Ithaki for their amazing food + service, and they're great for groups! I'll be trying everything on their menu. ambiance: 5/5 drinks: 5/5 food: 5/5 service: 5/5 Ithaki: 5/5

    We came here on Father's Day to celebrate the wonderful hubs. We were a bit early for our reservation, but they gladly sat us. The place is very large and open but elegantly designed and laid out. It would be very fitting for a large group gathering. We also noticed they had a function room tucked back behind the bathrooms. Ana was our server for the evening and did an exemplary job. She was always around when we needed her, made wine recommendations, and even gave me a tasting or two. Her smile was contagious! For starters, they offered complimentary bread and a tomato dip consisting of tomato, feta, garlic, and olive oil. The bread was soft, chewy, and warm. The dip was cold and refreshing, with a nice bite to it! Cocktails soon arrived. Hubs had their version of a mojito, which he thought was super yummy and refreshing. I opted for the hot and dirty, and it delivered! The appetizers were the layered hummus--divine! It hit all the taste notes and had lots of different textures! Keftedes were lamb and pork fritters with a nice tzatziki sauce. For dinner, I chose the blackened salmon over rice pilaf and a carrot ginger puree. This was a flavor bomb in my mouth--so delicious. Hubs had the lamb skewers with potato puffs. He noted that it was cooked perfectly and nicely seasoned. He loved the char on the vegetables, too. Who can pass up dessert when you are celebrating? Hubs chose the limoncello cake, which he absolutely loved! It was a bit too sweet for me, but that is okay! In chatting with a neighboring table, they loved their meal as well and wanted me to snap a pic of their dessert, lava cake, which was thoroughly enjoyed! I ended the night with Espresso Martinis, and oh my my! So yummy and my goodness those glasses! So cute! We will be back. Even that night, sitting there, we were debating who to invite on our next Ithaki adventure!

It's not a true hidden speakeasy since the sister restaurant upstairs, the Dire Wolf Tavern, has signage on the street for it, but I didn't care - the drinks just looked beautiful, and the moody decor was so on trend for Salem without hitting you over the head in a touristy way. We walked down some pretty steep steps after having dinner at the DWT - not sure if there's another entrance or not, but seems a little accessibility challenged. We sat in some of the low down, trendy looking, cushy chairs, and had to order drinks at the bar. Table service would have been nicer, especially for what they're charging for a cocktail. I asked for a pretty drink I'd seen online in a coupe glass with foam and purple and yellow almost flower shapes in the foam, but was told it was from an old menu. No big deal, I figured as such since it was an older photo online. I ordered the Midsommar cocktail without egg white (was very excited to see Creme de Violette on a menu, but the flavor was more mild than I hoped). It was pretty good, and quite strong. I wasn't over the moon in love with it - I actually liked the drink options upstairs better lol - but it was quite good and made quickly. This spot would be great for a photoshoot, I'm dying to get a spot at the unique lit up circular bar they have. It started getting busier and louder later into the night, but when we first arrived it was nice and calm and relatively quiet. I'd go back to try more specialty cocktails, but for $20 including tip for 1 drink that was honestly quite small, it feels a bit like an overpriced tourist spot. Very fun to visit but not great if you want to be having multiple drinks. I'm glad we went and would try it out again for sure.
