    Paloma cocktail

    Very nice addition to the downtown Oconomowoc food scene. My wife and I enjoyed dinner this evening to celebrate our 14th anniversary. Immediately greeted upon entering and a very welcoming reception from the staff. A small plates menu that didn't disappoint. We started with Focaccia and oil & the burrata salad. Oil and bread was a trademark of my wife and I in the early years of dating/marriage This bread was fresh, airy, and well garnished. The oil and vinegar dip complimented it well. As to the salad, we debated on this as all salad options seemed appealing. We landed on burrata and it was a fine choice. The burrata was perfectly warmed and the greens, tomatoes etc were nice pairings too. For our "entree" small plates we landed on the gyros tacos and the peach brie flatbread. We originally wanted the pasta bolognese, but unfortunately this was not available during our visit. The gyros were very tasty. The tzatziki sauce was delish. I couldn't detect if the tacos had feta blended into the tzatziki or not. It wasn't obvious. I think adding a chunk of feta on the plate would be an excellent garnish to this dish. Otherwise, I still would have eaten many more- it was great! The replacement for the bolognese was the peach and brie flatbread. Served warm, it felt like a perfect brunch-like dish. I didn't expect to eat too much of it, but the mouthfeel and balanced sweet/savory taste keeps tempting you for an extra bite. I was pleasantly surprised! Our waitress and support staff were kind, welcoming and attentive to our table. Lastly, we were treated a complimentary dessert for our anniversary and we chose the key lime cheesecake. Every. Crumb. Eaten. 5 stars. The restaurant itself is centered in downtown Oconomowoc. The interior has a nice vibe and the intimate lighting. A variety of groups were in house: couples; ladies having a night out; friends enjoying drinks at the bar. Tunes were playing, but not so loud that we couldn't still have a nice conversation at the table. Nice, modern decor in an older building. My wife and I are already planning our next visit. That obviously means...5 stars here. You should go.

    My friend made a reservation for 4 people at 5:30 PM on a Saturday night. The bar area is super cute, but the restaurant feels sterile. Maybe in the summer when they open the doors it will feel different. It is supposed to be a small plate place. We ordered focacia and oil which was so good. We ordered mushroom ravioli and cheese ravioli which was delicious. We got the peach and Brie flat bread which was horrible- don't order this !! The bolognese was okay. The chicken ceasar salad was normal, nothing spectacular. My biggest problem with this restaurant is the table sizes. The tables are far too small. This is supposed to be a small plate place but there is no room to put anything. With our drinks and plates on the table I felt like I was cramped into an airplane trying to eat. Between the sterile inside feeling and the cramped space, I most likely won't be back. Bill for $220 for 4 people.

    Such a cute new spot in Ocon. Interior is so cute and modern with a low lit intimate vibe. Food was delicious. Will be attempting to remake the peach and brie flatbread at home. Signature drinks were good, but the martinis were just okay. Service was a little slow, but the place is new so i'll give some grace there :) It was loud so it was hard to have intimate conversation at times. Definitely returning!

    The kids loved the hummus trio, the scallop risotto, garlic shrimp, chimichuri sirloin, and the tiramisu

    Food service and ambiance all excellent. Small plate to share and single dinners. Greek Mediterranean flair. It's not cheap but worth it

    We had an absolutely wonderful experience at their Easter brunch buffet. Everything was delicious…read moreand thoughtfully prepared. The cold station had a great variety of hummus and dips served with pita bread--my son loved it so much he ate thirteen pieces of pita! I'm usually not a big fan of raw oysters, but they looked so fresh that I decided to try them... and I couldn't stop eating them. They also had traditional Easter red eggs and egg salad, which was a nice touch. The hot food selection was very impressive as well, including freshly carved prime rib and ham, roasted lamb leg, and sausages. There were also breakfast favorites like French toast and scrambled eggs. Desserts were excellent too--cakes, fresh fruits, and yogurt rounded out the meal perfectly. The setting is just as lovely--the restaurant has an outdoor patio that would be especially enjoyable in the summer, with a great view of the city skyline. It's also a perfect spot for photos. On top of all that, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a perfect dining experience and a memorable Easter celebration.

There is street parking, the business of which can be variable. The staff were all very nice and the servers are prompt, checking on us often.

We also ordered chicken souvlaki- a little chewy but seasoned nicely. Portion sizes were excellent.

Once we decided on what we would like to order, we headed to the kiosk at the front and ordered, then waited for our food to arrive at the table. Our server was very sweet and helped answer any questions we had about the paper menu vs the online menu. The restaurant was decorated nicely and simple. There were sittings by the door, throughout the walk way and booths towards the end of the restaurant. They had the whole menu displayed behind the counter and a few of the desserts as well. We ordered the appetizer platter; which allowed us to choose three apps two try. My friend and I chose the falafel, grape leaves, and baba ghonush (which is served with 8 triangle pieces of pita bread). I got the kofte special wrap and my friend got the beef kebab wrap. Everything we got was amazing! The wrap was also nicely toasted on the outside, which gave it such an amazing texture. The combination of the char-grilled kofta with the vegetables inside was so good! Just thinking of it makes me want to go and grab another one. It was not dry and was honestly pretty filling. Very excited to go back and try other item!

My friend & I went had dinner here before seeing "Hamilton" at the Marcus PC and it was delightful evening all around. The lentil soup was delicious and the wrap very good; I could have just had the soup as portions are very generous. My friend was happy with her Chicken Shawarma plate and she enjoyed everything on it, specially the salad. The service is nice and attentive. Super nice ladies! And the atmosphere is very nice. I liked that they kept the holidays lights. Also the colors on walls enhance the Mediterranean experience. Tip: The business has its own app and a rewards program, as well. Unfortunately, it wasn't mentioned in any of my visits.

I dined in for lunch, and the service was fantastic. My server (Julie) was attentive and delightful, and they had several nice touches included in the experience, as well. I don't think I've ever had a sprinkling of paprika on a gyro before (delicious), which they did, they also used red onions, and the waitress brought me a serving of Greek honey donuts (loukoumades) as a thank you for coming in, as well. Table service patrons even get nice cloth napkins and real flatware. It was a delightful experience that I will be back for, including the upbeat, traditional Greek music. Next time I look forward to trying the chicken kebabs and spanakopita. I haven't had Greek lemon soup in years, either, and I look forward to trying that, as well.

    I finally made it to Gyro House!!! This has been a bucket list place for me since they opened a…read moreyear ago and they're the indirect replacements for Gyros West in the area. When I stopped around 4pm they were still doing a daily special of $5 gyros between 2pm and 5pm. I grabbed two plain gyros and an order of loukoumades (honey and cinnamon donuts) to go. I've eaten at a fair number of gyro places in the Milwaukee area and I hold two in particular up on a pedestal based on their gyros. I think it's fair to say Gyro House can be added to that pedestal. There was a ton of meat on each gyro and it was moist and tender. I'm not sure if they grilled the pita a little in house or if that's how it comes out of the package, but I'm glad that attention was paid to the pita too by someone and it wasn't just dry and bland. The loukoumades came in a cylindrical plastic container, similar to what fried rice comes in from some Chinese restaurants. The honey sauce pooled at the bottom, so those donuts had more of the honey flavor soaked in by the time I got to them. It wasn't hard to tip the container on its side and let some of the honey sauce run towards the top of the container though. Overall, an excellent option for dessert or instead of a side like fries.

We had a longer wait for service however the waitress did make sure to stop by the table to let us know that she is just finishing up with another table. Since it was my first time I didn't mind though it would have been nice to have coffee cups since flavored creme, butter and half and half was in small bowls. Give me time to read the menu and a few of the other yelp reviews while waiting. My sister ordered poached eggs, Canadian bacon, and pancakes. she enjoyed the eggs, and Canadian bacon. But the pancake was so so. The hash browns were cooked very lightly. Sausage gravy was made with sliced pieces of breakfast sausage links nothing spectacular I would have to say that I have had better from a can. The service is fairly good they could improve by checking on coffee levels more frequently. The water pitcher came around regularly. The busers were clearing tables throughout our meal but it was done loudly.

I've been here a number of times and always get the combination plate, at least two meals.

Lots of bang for your buck here. They make their own iced tea here as well though some higher end restaurants don't reach this quality (I'm looking at you, Lowlands Grand Cafes and Restaurants. Also Maria was our waitress and she couldn't be better. I'd like to give them an extra half star but they won't allow it.
