    Quiet little place in a great part of town. Great Greek salad. The lamb was fresh and flavorful, would recommend. Service was great.

    Denise A.

    This was our first visit and we loved the interior and set up of this casual dining space that felt like being in Greece but in a homey and relaxed atmosphere. Very welcoming. Our server was enthusiastic, accommodating and very attentive which only enhanced the experience. The Mykonos beer was the perfect cool temp and went down easy. A great reommendation and my new favorite beer. The 3 dips and pita triangles we had as an appetizer were very good, and would have loved to see a few more olives included. The Mousakka and Pastchio main dishes were both tasty and we enjoyed the side of green beans with tomatoes. I was hoping the Mousakka would knock my socks off, and while good, I did expect a bit more flavor and freshness. The portion size was generous. Service was fantastic. The entire establiment was clean, including the restrooms, and we would love to return and try some other menu items. On street parking and outside dining option.

    In downtown Fairfield, the Greek America Salad was awesome and the Frappe Martini was very good, albeit extremely sweet. The service was friendly and it had a busy, energetic ambiance.

    Beautiful decor and ambiance. Music, nice mix of Greek and English. Very friendly staff. Excellent food. Authentic. The octopus didn't make it long enough to be photographed Now if someone can just read my coffee cup just like my grandmother did.

    Zucchini chips and Tzatziki Greek Dip

    Still pondering the oddest dinner experience in a long time. My husband is rarely home on Saturdays given his schedule. So we opted to try this Greek restaurant for our date. While pretty and busy at 7:30pm, they had a few open tables. We walked in and were left waiting behind the hostess station with 2 people doing take out food. No one for almost 10 minutes even acknowledged we were there. A mature lady never looked up from the hostess stand. She proceeded to only chat with a man awaiting his take out order. A man at the bar acknowledged 2 women standing closer to the bar that he would have a table for them, but also never came over to us or the couple behind us. No one made eye contact or even gave us a nod. Ready to leave - and wish we had - we were finally seated outside at a table with a dirty under cloth that they came back an put a paper liner on it. Then the same mature woman put dirty dishes at the edge of our table to talk to us. A harried waitress came over apologized how busy they were, and this was after another 10 minutes wait. We had no water nor menus, but she wanted our appetizer order. She quipped they were too busy hence the lack of menus. As I gazed around the restaurant, people were eating or drinking. I didn't see a plethora of menus at every table so they were not all handed out. I said we can't order without menus. Finally we order and now as I worked with the Greek Tourist Board and have been to Greece many times plus love Greek food, i was anticipating authentic Greek food - well seasoned and prepared correctly. Had heard the owners created this taverna to be authentic The menu that sounded amazing led us astray. An order of zucchini chips and Tzatziki arrived. They were not greasy as the waitress promised but so paper thin, not sure the word zucchini should not be on the menu. The Tzatziki lacked all flavor - no tart from the yogurt no spice. A plate of pita bread toast points (not many) was not warm nor crisp. The taramasalata (fish roe dip) was just a pale mush on a plate and flavorless vs. very pink and pungent. Not seeing our waitress for a very long time, I went in from outside and asked if we could have water (no one had ever asked us if we wanted anything to drink - even a Greek soda). I had to beg for sliced lemon for our water (water had an unpleasant mineral like taste). The woman at the hostess stand proceeded to to tell me we "had the most attention of any table there." Wow. That's saying even less for this place. All we wanted was water - and I got a lecture how ungrateful we are. In the meantime- that doesn't say much for others dining if a waitress we never saw was giving us so much attention. We asked for lemon with the water. We received 2 tiny very thinly, sliced pieces of lemon. They looked sad on the plate. Greek food is known to use lemons - but it looked like they didn't want to provide us with lemons. We did see a waiter going back and forth - and wished he was our server. Fast forward the main dish, which the waitress told us to share - came out with rice when ordered Greek potatoes. No one came back to check on us so again we had to ask the hostess for a correction - which she did not promise to help. So we asked the waiter, who surprisingly brought out the food promptly. The entree consisted of 2 tiny rounds of pounded chicken breasts - super thin - with a slice of tomato and a drop of spinach and feta - definitely left us hungry. The potatoes were warm but mushy and salty. Nothing had herbs or garlic. We next received two vegetarian sides to take home for a family member visiting from grad school. The Gigantes - large beans in sauce - warm and just salty. Grape leaves were fine. The waitress came back with a check finally. She apologized how badly the meal was and being spread so thin and that the place was so busy the kitchen couldn't handle the orders. It turned out the man behind the counter was the owner. The hostess was his sister. I told our server that she should not be apologizing, but the owner should come out. She said that was unlikely to happen. So we left unhappy. It's a pretty place. The outside seating is lovely actually. This is the only positive part of the night despite being brought to a table with a soiled tablecloth initially.. I just don't understand how another over priced restaurant near us runs itself without care or quality or serves bland food without spices. I really don't. What a waste of time and money on a rare Saturday date night too. We went to the bakery next door, who thankfully had delicious vegan cupcakes to take home.

    Mykonos martini - sweet and tastes like smarties.
    Sergio P.

    This place is new to Fairfield- the staff are learning as we go. Very friendly and honest. We sat at the high tops in front of the bar and the two bartenders were our servers. They were both great. The menu has most of the traditional Greek favorites. We started with the Saganaki (not flaming here) and the single portion of the kasseri cheese and these were served with some grilled pita slices. So yummy. The Mykonos martini is too sweet on its own, but with food it was a good compliment. The Lamb shank was a nice dish with deep flavor that comes from a slow cook. I forgot to take a picture of my Pesticho which was good but doesn't compare to my friend's yaya.

The quacamole is excellent though expensive ($20, 5/5). I want the recipe. The chicken sandwich was very good, but the "side salad" was shredded iceberg lettuce with halved tomatoes (3/5). If you're going to call it a side salad put some effort into it. The foccacia bread was tasty but too large for the sandwich creating a ratio of bread:chicken error. The birria tacos were disgusting (my son loves birria tacos and he gagged on his first bite and almost vomited) (1/5). He ate literally 1 bite and the server did not even ask what the issue was, which is very poor service. the chicken wings were excellent (5/5) but also very expensive for 6 wings ($20). Overall I'd give the food a 3.5/5, ambience 4/5, and service 3.5/5. It barely got rounded up to 4 stars. I'd recommend going for a drink and some guacamole, but skip the tacos and entrees.

We were meeting friends from Norwalk so decided to go closer to them and try Fairfield which was a totally different experience. Tableside guac was solid to start. Burrito was good, but my yucca fries had no seasoning and should have had a better dipping sauce than ketchup. One of our favorite things last time was the smoked black salt rim on the Tropicale margarita. Our first round had regular salt. Second round we asked for the black salt which they did but it wasn't smoked. Fried ice cream wasn't fresh, it had been fried in advance, so the outside wasn't warm or crispy. Ultimately we ate it all. It was good but for the price (with tax and tip over $400) I'd expect something with higher execution.

First off-the owners are so FRIENDLY and kind--you can talk to them about anything and they are happy to answer questions about any of the food and/or drinks. You can tell they love owning this place and meeting customers. I have heard so much about the Pub and went for the first time yesterday with two friends. We had one of their rotating cask beers and one of their bitter regular casks which is a staple of the establishment-each beer was delicious and tasty! I had the vegan curry dish which was very tasty with veggies, rice and great spice. My friends had a dish similar to Shepherd's Pie but slightly different and cooked with more like steak stewed meat rather than lamb and we all licked our plates clean LOL. We also shared two of the desserts which were vanilla ice cream with some type of coconut cookie in it and the other was vanilla ice cream with a yummy type of strawberry sauce I think. The atmosphere is so laid back as well-like traditional British Pubs you order your drinks and food at the bar and they deliver your food to your table with a number. You are able to sit wherever you would like and I hear it gets very packed for European football games. I can't wait until I get a chance to go again-there aren't a ton of food options being that I don't eat red meat-but I was able to find the curry and could also try the Fish and Chips which looked amazing and I have heard it is great. If you are in the area-stop by for a drink or two and you will not be disappointed-you feel like you are transported to England with these type of pub.
