The lamb chops are succulent, the hummus is INCREDIBLE and there's just a burst of flavors in their dishes. If you want to take your food to go then order inside.

The Greek decor was cool, felt like I steeped back in time for a bit. The food is not cheap but the quality is superb! My wife and I both got the lamb chops with green beans , a greek side salad and a chicken lemon soup. Where do I start, ALL of what we ordered was sensational. I don't know exactly know how they prepare and cook the lamb chop but they were so amazingly tasty, not to mention the green bean blend. The chicken lemon soup was zesty and full of flavor also. Highly recommend!!!

The owner is a great guy and gave us amazing recommendations. You can tell he is passionate about the food. All of the food is pretty much "home-made" by the owner who was the only employee there. We tried out three plates and all the sides with it too. It was delicious and came with a lot of pita bread. Overall, this is a great restaurant and the owner/chef makes the ambiance fun. Everyone should give it a try!

After the long drive from Joshua Tree National Park to Ventura, plus a completely unnecessary but…read moreemotionally necessary detour through U.S. Route 66, we arrived tired, hungry, and operating mostly on fumes and determination. We checked into our harbor hotel and ordered takeout from The Greek Mediterranean Steak and Seafood, which turned out to be an excellent life decision. First challenge: surviving the parking lot. I don't know who designed that little maze, but I emerged victorious eventually. Once inside, though, the place had a great energy. A dance floor, a DJ spinning genuinely good tunes, and massive windows overlooking the harbor like the restaurant knew exactly what kind of mood we needed. Service was fantastic. Our order was ready on time, and they also made me a dangerously good Negroni to go. Honestly, if someone hands you a well-crafted Negroni after a desert road trip, that's practically an act of community care. Back at the hotel, we spread everything out on our balcony overlooking the harbor while the sun set, and suddenly life felt very cinematic. We ordered the Sampler for Two, which included lamb chops, falafel, loukaniko sausages, spanakopita, dolmades with avgolemono sauce, tzatziki, hummus, hot pita wedges, and a Greek salad. Basically, a feast disguised as takeout. Everything was delicious. The lamb chops were flavorful, the falafel crisp, the spanakopita flaky and rich, and the whole spread felt generous and thoughtfully prepared. Portions were large enough that we saved the hummus and tzatziki for the next day, where they heroically returned as cocktail snacks. A true encore performance. This meal didn't just feed us, it restored us a little. Good food, great atmosphere, harbor sunset, Negroni in hand. Sometimes a travel day ends exactly the way it should.

GETTING HERE:…read more Located inside the liquor store next to Popeye's, on the corner of Gonzales and Ventura Road. Don't blink or you'll miss it! REVIEW: All the hidden gems are gifts from Yelp! And, from a co-worker! Didn't know this place existed, but so glad it's on my radar now. First-timer, so I was totally green as to what to order. My chicken and rice (I don't recall the official name) was delicious. And, the soup is incredible too! The service was excellent, and while she probably laughed at my naiveté, she was gracious and helpful. There are few tables inside the liquor store to eat, but I feel this set-up is conducive to delivery service or pick up your order, to-go. I really do recommend The Green Olive. Very tasty food!

I've passed by this place many times and thought it was a Mexican food restaurant. Eden says, hey it's Mediterranean food! Perfect. I love that cuisine and Luna Grill did not disappoint!

The prices were reasonable, the selection and variety quite impressive and the waiting time for even grilled dishes was short. Delicious meal enjoyed outside under a covered patio, with ample seating inside. I always feel healthier after enjoying this cuisine. Looking forward to going back to try some of their delicious offerings! One small gripe: the baklava was kept in a refrigerated case. Baklava is best served at room temp with hot mint tea. Next time I'll order it with the meal and let dessert warm up a bit! It was delicious nonetheless.
