    Mediterranean ambience
    Melissa R.

    This was our second time visiting Maris. The first time they were newly opened, and we absolutely loved our food. This time we had the same relaxing experience and an attentive server, but our food was not the same quality. We started with the three spreads and pita again which were all good. However, my grilled octopus was a lot smaller and had very few capers. (I would have included a photo but didn't want the original photos to be deleted.) My husband said the same about his food. He ordered the same dish as last time, and he said the kabobs had a lot more peppers and less meat. We're hoping this was a one time thing as we really wanted to like this restaurant. Please bring back the same food quality and quantity.

    We came here before a show. Candlelight orchestra at media theater. Planned this a month ago and I wanted to get reservations at a place right around the corner before the show. So I saw this place and you guys know I'm a seafood junkie. Also my nutritionist said the Mediterranean diet is the best diet for me. The space is nice. Especially since it was almost 70 and they had the garage door fully open. Very nice breeze. One of the restrooms doesn't lock well. Servers were great. Not sure if they are normally light during this time frame but they only had two people on for the whole restaurant and no food runners. So these two are making drinks, taking orders and serving. They did an amazing job. Especially given how many people were there. Mocktails were great. I got the mule and my wife got the fig one. I got the grilled octopus and it was delicious. Very different than others. It came in a sauce with pickled onions and capers. We got the zucchini chips. Fried, breaded with a light batter. Those were decent. The sauce was good. She got the crab cake that she kept to herself. She wasn't overly impressed with that. I got the garden salad with grilled chicken. That was pretty good. Chicken had a great charcoaled taste. Only bad part about the salad, I don't think the tomatoes were very fresh. If you eat tomatoes a lot you can tell when they are fresh cut and when they've been sitting. We did The Who share appetizers thing because everything was À la carte. I don't like when they do that. I think the chef should pick what goes together side and main dish. Not me. Places like that you're always paying the price of a meal for your fish and then any add ons are at least $10. The tea selection was a little disappointing. Obviously not something they invested a lot of time into. Overall good spot to try. We live about an hour away so I wouldn't travel specifically for it.

    The tyri-tini and the Goddess Tonic
    Natalie S.

    This new restaurant in Media is definitely worth a visit! We decided to make a reservation for a Friday afternoon to get a chance to try their happy hour and dinner menus. We sat in the bar at a high top table. The room is nicely decorated with ambient lighting and an adorable bar. Further back, there is a larger room that I assume is used for larger parties. For drinks, we tried the Goddess Tonic and the Tyri-tini. If you're a savory drink person, the Tyri-tini is a MUST have! It was SO GOOD. It's been a few days since our meal and we're still raving and reminiscing about it. The Goddess Tonic was also good, but we will definitely be re-ordering the martini next time. For apps, we got the buck-a-shuck oysters, grilled octopus, and calamari. All were delicious, my favorite being the grilled octopus. The texture was a little chewy for my preference, but the flavor made up for that. For the mains, we had the salmon and beef/lamb skewers. While I did enjoy my salmon, and knew I would only be getting the salmon since the fish/seafood portion of the menu is à la carte, I would like to see full seafood entrees on their menu next time. Accompanied by a grain and a vegetable, it would've been a great, well-rounded meal. I did order the fried potatoes with kefalograviera, which were very good and I definitely recommend trying, but it would've been nice if they came together as a meal. All in all, we really enjoyed our time at Maris and will definitely return soon!

    Caesar salad
    Colin P.

    Our second time here. The "Maris chips" were too thinly sliced this time and probably left in the fryer too long, resulting in a rather dry flavor (though not burnt). I think they need to triple the amount of cucumber in the tzatziki. The first time we'd had them they were amazing: thicker, soft and sweet inside, with delicate, crispy batter barely coating the slices. Salad was very enjoyable. We ordered the branzino again (last time was very good), and it was even better this time because it was cooked a little less, I think. The lamb and beef skewers were a disappointment (too much salt, meat very tough, overcooked). The baklava was really bad (skimped on the phyllo layers, everything a bit soggy) but at least the nuts weren't rancid; we took a few bites and left the rest. I don't think I've ever abandoned a baklava. Probably won't go again. Same problem with salt and consistency that Belle Époque has (same owner). People seemed happy at the bar. I think cocktails might be the focus here.

    Lamb chops
    Jeff F.

    First time dining at Maris. Started at the happy hour - buck a shuck oysters (a dozen nice medium size with a tangy cocktail sauce and mignonette) and the hummus and tzatziki sips with a flavored grilled pita and veggies (also really good). Moved to dinner and tried the Saganaki (fun and delicious), the branzino (whole dish - served helped in head and tail and debone - excellent) and the lamb chops (also amazing). The service by Ashley was attentive, helpful and well done. Prices were appropriate (maybe even a *little* lower than I expected). Will definitely go again!

    Aegean burger (came with lovely fries)
    J P.

    We arrived with a reservation for 6 but we had 7 guests. The table we had was an oval and we easily could fit an extra chair without crowding. I don't think there are many tables for large parties there tho! We had dined there recently when it was called 214 West I believe. They didn't change the footprint but they zhuzhed up the decor. From the name I didn't realize it was a Greek restaurant, but when I looked at the menu, I realized this was perfect because we were discussing a book on Greek mythology! I had the Aegean burger (lamb and beef with tzatziki, feta and a side a lovely thick fries. Very good although way too large for me. Took half home. My dining companions all enjoyed their meals too. We shared spanakopita, lightly fried eggplant and zucchini, olives as apps. All were excellent. The drinks were amazing! Persephone's Potion was a Greek cosmo (pomegranate instead of cranberry) and the Hades Hellfire was gorgeous and spicy with tasty spicy salted rim. We were too for dessert so we must return to try more dishes! Our waitress Lexi was great and worked great with us- even splitting the checks!

    Yes for pub atmosphere, yes for Irish feelings, yes for huge portions. Maybe for comfort…read more We came in right before valentines day and loved how over decorated the place was. We got seated right behind the live music and I'm so glad we asked to move since we got the cozy fireplace table and there's no way we could have heard eachother otherwise. The chairs were weirdly uncomfortable and seemed a mix of styles. When everything else called to be cozy that was an odd misstep in a cold winter night. They were out of a handful of things but they did have a super extra special menu to try. We had to sample the mashed potato balls but honestly they were dense and dry without a lot of flavor. If you mixed with the sauce they were ok but don't really recommend. The stews were amazing, and the shepherds pie will absolutely take you back to the island, and huge portions. The yak burger really tasted great but it was one of those "too huge to fit" type of burgers so be aware. The desserts really weren't inspiring so we skipped. This is very popular and the bar area was totally packed when we headed out. I'd say worth going but ask for where you want to sit and be prepared to just take awhile.

    We got to the restaurant and were seated promptly, given that we had a reservation. We walked…read morethrough the front room, which was setup like a typical bar, and into the dining area in the next room. A live guitarist was setting up for the evening in the space between the two rooms. He started playing just after we were seated, and it was a bit loud from the proximity, but a member of our party asked if we could move. After checking with the hostess, we were whisked away to a cozier table by the room's fireplace. Given the cold weather, it was quite nice. That table also had some more comfortable seats, so I'm glad they could accommodate the switch. Our server was quite personable, and took good care of us as we ordered drinks and waited for the rest of our group. She did need to check on some menu items and they had some sold our dishes, but there were plenty of options still. When the food came, one of our entrees had a small mix up, but it was resolved before the rest of our food made it out. My shepherd's pie filling was deliciously rich. The mashed potatoes on top were broiled to crispy perfection. I didn't love the bread on the side, but I had more than enough pie to fill me up. Overall, I'd love to go back and try some other menu options.

    I suppose a restaurant almost has a disadvantage when one has heard endlessly about how fantastic…read moreit is, thus setting one's expectations quite high when making one's reservation. A friend and I came by for a quiet supper to catch up and hopefully have an enjoyable dining experience. To start off, the Caesar salad and focaccia were indeed quite tasty. After being talked into trying the tasting menu, I was disheartened upon taking my first bite of the chicken Parmigiana and accompanying pasta. Both seemed as if they had been sitting for a while and then were unevenly reheated. The pasta, in particular, was lackluster and worse than anything I might have hurriedly boiled at eleven at night upon arriving home after a long trip and finding only packaged pasta and canned tomato sauce in the cupboard. But I could have lived with all of this had it not been for the service. Clearly my friend and I were the afterthought of all afterthoughts to our disinterested waitress. After hounding us to order before we had properly reviewed the menu, she promptly put us on the pay-no-mind list, as dirty dish after dirty dish accumulated at the table from the tasting menu she had so strongly urged me to try. I also abhor cheapness on the part of restaurants. Would it have killed Rosemary to offer us a second piece of focaccia, given that there were two of us and the portion was a better fit for just one? Lest anyone accuse me of having expected the waitstaff to read my mind, I indeed asked. It's not like we weren't spending a pretty penny there. The business could have well afforded to allow each of us a reasonable portion of its much-touted starter. After we finally managed to flag down our waitress amid the plethora of dirty dishes still sporting some of the mediocre food, I paid in cash on account of the restaurant informing me on the bill that a surcharge would be applied to a credit card transaction. Another joy! When the waitress took the note, she said, "Thank you," and that was that. I decided against calling after her to request change since it was one of those borderline instances where the note was close enough to twenty percent that it is a bit awkward to request someone return with change. So she walked off with a 26% or so tip after having left us on the dining equivalent of "read" the entire night. And then there's the issue of price: While not outrageous, everything is 15-20% more expensive than it should be, and after one pauses to think about it, the tasting menu offers barely any deal at all. If one orders the chicken like I did, it is no cheaper than ordering the starter, entrée, and dessert à la carte. If Rosemary had also offered, say, a soup, then it would be a deal. But clearly generosity is not in its owner's purview. The tiramisu, I will say, was excellent, and my friend and I enjoyed every morsel, and for that reason, along with the Caesar salad, I can muster three stars. Had I not walked through the door having heard so many people rave about Rosemary, perhaps I would have found it to be a restaurant with a pleasant ambiance, a good appetizer, and fine dessert despite a thoroughly middling entrée. But a Delco gem it is not.

    I, like other reviewers, received a solid block of inedible meat instead of the short rib I…read moreordered. Fortunately, I was served a different dish after I demonstrated I couldn't cut into the short rib with the knife I was given.

That wasn't the case this time. Also, we had to ask twice for utensils and napkins which were not on our outdoor table ahead of time.

Four Humours is the place I'd take a date (in fact, I did bring my husband last night), a girlfriend, a group getting ready to hit the town, OR for a night cap. it's so versatile - it can be whatever you need it to be. Like the Room of Requirement, only boozier. The crew gets SO creative with their cocktails - we've sipped on ones featuring pho-infused agave, chicken schmaltz-washed bourbon, carrot and pineapple foam, pandan - and they're always switching it up seasonally and I can not WAIT to find out what's coming this fall. Cocktails range from $15-20, pretty similar to most of the neighborhood, but they are STRONG. I started buzzing after 2 the last time I went. I love this for the jump-off to a night out or, as a mother of 3 who's hustling home for the babysitter, a one-stop shop. Added bonus: you can order food delivered to the bar! Pro-tip, if you get pizza share with the bartenders. If you order South Sichuan you just might melt from the SPICE level. No matter what you're doing with the night, you're gonna have a great time AND a few great bevs!
