Spot on service and very polite, friendly and fast! The decor is tranquil like your sitting outside at a table enjoying a meal home cooked by YiaYia! The kids menu was perfect even though we didn't order from it. We were there for lunch and the appetizers are enough for two people. The olive oil is so fragrant, the bread is fresh baked and amazing. I wish I would've tried the stuffed pepper soup, but Avgolemono is my favorite. I just wish they had a generous bowl of Youvetzi that was flavored with lamb shank!!! It's my go to Greek comfort food - My YiaYia's was the best! I will have to return to sample their desserts! I hope my favorite is on the menu... Galaktoboureko!

This is going to be a mixed review because my husband loved it and I thought it was "OK"…read moreThe staff is very pleasant and courteous and the place is very clean. The floor was very slippery around our table and for someone unsure of their step, this made me very nervous. Started with saganaki and lemon soup. My husband thought they were both delicious, unfortunately I thought the cheese was lacking and the soup was not think enough. There were huge pieces of chicken in it though. I had the special - Youvarelakia - which are the herbed meatballs in lemon sauce. The meat was "very herb-y" to the point of almost overwhelming the meat taste. Once again, the sauce was too think for my liking. Husband had the Youvetsi and thought it was delicious. We both brought leftovers home

BEST Greek food in Chicago. Smokes Greek Island (both locations)…read more.. The octopus was 10/10. Juicy, flavorful, and the texture was perfect.. crispy, on the edges but soft on the inside. The dolmades were amazinggg. The Avgolemono lemon soup was fireee. The star of the show was the bougatsa with ice cream.. OMG. Best Greek dessert I've had. I wish their custard had a little more kick to it.. but was incredible none the less.

Greek salads were fresh and authentic. Grilled calamari was tasty but could have been better plated/ presented possibly on crisp spinach(?) Noticed most plates passing by weren't too well finished. Bread served either wasn't fresh or just very bland. 5 layer carrot cake was very tasty. Baklava though large, was just so-so. Though the room we sat in was only 1/2 full the noise level was disturbing. Needs fabric on walls, cloth drapes, sound baffles. Or carpeted floors. At this price point I did expect more.

Wow what a travesty. I had a chicken Caesar salad. The grilled chicken plopped on top was dry and…read moretasted "okay." The salad dressing was a weird sweet type of dressing that didn't resemble Caesar at all. The croutons were ridiculous. They were the bagged cubed kind you buy at the store.. The lettuce was limp soggy green stuff. The only thing I could stomach was the chicken. The hostess and waitress were fine. The ambiance was typical "Greek restaurant " type of atmosphere. If they fix the food they can turn this place around. Until then I cannot recommend them. For now don't waste your time or money.

The former JD's Que and Brew has been transformed into a lovely fast casual Greek restaurant with…read morecounter service. There is even a bar are with counter seating and three - five tables (two standard height and three counter height. There is a monstrous screen behind the bar for sports, but they mostly show videos of Greece, but they are mesmerizing videos of a beautiful country. It's a cleaner version of Dengeo's. And, dare I say, better version. Except for their avgolemeno soup. Such a weak travesty. Please fix this. It's just a watery mess. However, everything else is delicious. I ordered the Greek Chicken with their lemon-butter rice. They debone the chicken and serve atop a mountain of their rice. If also had their potatoes (which are good) but the rice is magical. The first time we went, they had a serve yourself soda fountain and they since got rid of it and sell soda in bottles and cans. They do still have a self-serve water station. Once you order, staff will bring to your table, so please tip when you order or leave on the table as they do come by and clear your table as well. It is first come first served and you grab your own tables. I've been there on weekends and weeknights and they get pretty packed. The food is flavorful and quite tasty. The portions are huge so you're definitely going to bring something home. Nostimo is now in our rotation of places to go in a pinch and they do have an outdoor seating area, too.

Actually has a drive thru so how classy can it be. The restaurant has options for families and groups. Coming in here it looked like a regular casual restaurant where you order at the counter. It's one of those places you get the food brought out. There's also a bar area you can get beer and wine. For certain it's not the average fast casual. It's about $8 for a glass. Best we had was the Roditis, which is a rosé from Corinthia. It's about $8 for the Hummus. Comes with lots of pita bread. The rest of the menu is meaty. Great place located on Rand at Chestnut. It's closed Mondays. There's the hummus for vegetarians.

Our waiter, Nick was very patient in answering all our questions and very personable. We started with the spread sampler which was plentiful. My wife had read how their steak was "amazing" so we went with the Mprizola (a 16 oz steak) that was served perfectly and was an excellent cut of meat. Paired with the steak we shared the grilled vegetables which were also excellent. Knowing we were heading for a wedding and probably "too much" food, we passed on any dessert. Thought about stopping in on the return trip, but ended up taking a different route. Next time though...

Okay, that's a disappointment. He went with the non-Tenderloin souvlaki, and I had their gyros platter. The gyros was good. The regular souvlaki was okay. The general theme of the restaurant is the same - that Greek Isle ambiance. The service was the same. Just the best item on the menu - GONE. Along with my return business apparently.
