Dined at Myrtos for the first time tonight and enjoyed a delicious meal, nice atmosphere and super staff. Will definitely be going back.

We were pleasantly surprised. A fine dining experience here in Downingtown. The food is scratch made. Exquisitely seasoned authentic Greek entree, grilled octopus, salads, fish, beef, lamb, chicken, pork and vegetarian options. BYOB or enjoy with a variety of exciting mocktail offerings. My family can't wait to go back again! read more

I had the occasion the Sunday before Easter Sunday to meet someone here for a first date. We were greeted promptly and seated comfortably. The place was not busy at all since it was kind of late lunch territory in terms of time. Our meals were delicious, and we split the desert. Since it was a first date occasion, I didn't take pictures as I wanted to focus on her. I had the Chilean Sea Bass and my date had the Atlantic Salmon. Both were cooked to perfection and were a modest portion size which suited us both. We split desert of Baklava, which was a perfect blench of sweet and nutty and flaky. My only issue was what was happening after dinner. Since it was a first date, we were lingering at our table longer than typical to take advantage of quiet conversation. My back was to the kitchen, so I couldn't see what was going on, but my date was definitely getting the stink eye from the waitress wondering when were going to turn over the table. The restaurant was not crowded, so we were confused what the issue could have been. We wound up cutting the date shorter than we would have liked. read more

I decided to order from Myrtos after seeing their offer to help SNAP beneficiaries during the Republican shut down. I love Greek food and wanted to try them, but this sealed the deal. I ordered the grilled platter with the chicken and pork souvlaki and lamb gyro meat. It came with lemon potatoes (ugh a fave so good) and delicious zucchini chips. More than enough food for three people! I also got a side of pita and some tzatziki. Fresh, delicious, and hearty. The restaurant itself is beautiful and clean. Plenty of staff and everyone was incredibly friendly. I will be returning. Thank you, Myrtos, for being a bright light in our community. read more

My wife and I made a reservations for 6pm. We arrived promptly at 5:57. They recognized our name immediately and sat us right away. Server was personal and informative about the menu. We picked apps and our entrees and were served within a reasonable amount of time. The app was delicious. Entrees came out after a little wait (perfect timing for chit chat). The entrees were perfect. A cornucopia of flavor and textures. So good! Oh so good!! Desserts are a must! Between the excellent service, food and ambiance......all were perfect! To add on to this the owner met with us to ensure we were satisfied. Definitely returning and recommending this restaurant to everyone!! Make the reservations, they are a hit and will be busy for a long time to come. read more

We came here for our book club dinner. The food was all excellent, the service was great, and they let us sit for almost three hours while we talked book club. Great service, great food, quiet ambience--dark room, little table lights, cloth tablecloths, very nice. Wish I had a photo of the Myrtos zucchini chips appetizer--also delicious! read more

Finally got to experience MYRTOS and sorry we waited so long! Friends gave us a gift card for this delightful restaurant for Christmas and we loved it. Truly authentic and delicious (and I have been to Greece), we enjoyed everything we ordered for flavor and freshness. I especially liked the Tzatziki, Hummus and Moussaka. Friendly and attentive staff, Greek music and atmosphere and the owner stopped by our table to say "Yassou" as we were gathering our leftovers - since the portions are plentiful! Enough for 2 meals. A must try. We will be back SOON! read more

Service friendly and attentive. Food , good variety and tasty. Atmosphere was comfortable. Will return soon and tell others.

Refreshing new to me restaurant! Clean, classy and well thought out! Menu has lots of choices and options for most everyone, including kids choices. Server was professional and attentive, timing was right on.. Calamari appetizer was delicious! Main course looked fantastic, but both of our dinners were lukewarm and my broccolini was cold They did heat it up without a problem, but then my shrimp was a little rubbery.. tasty all the same and I would return. Gelato dessert was creamy and delicious, Nutella dessert was sensational! Check came with 2 little surprises: $5 corkage fee.. for a BYOB? Credit card surcharge of 3%+.. Overall good experience read more

I didn't have any expectations going in--honestly, I'm a pretty picky eater--so when my husband suggested we try this restaurant, I was hesitant. But I was pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere was okay--not exactly my style, but it was clean and the staff were super friendly and welcoming. I ordered the salmon, and it was hands down the best I've ever had in my life. My husband got a pasta dish and really enjoyed his meal as well. We'll definitely be back again soon! read more

The food was excellent and proportions were average. The service was great but when customers use it as a reunion spot to chat and catch up on a Friday night when people with registrations are waiting, not the spot. As all new restaurants, the tables are too close together in some spots. Prices seemed reasonable. Plan to return. read more

We tried the lamb chops (more like lollipop for $42 lol) and the scallop pasta. Yeah safe to say, save your money. I literally had lamb lollipops from a sushi restaurant last week that below these out of the water. Each lollipop here was cooked to a different doneness level. The lemon potatoes were just so underwhelming and almost stale feeling, not a good texture. The broccolini was just okay. Scallop pasta was not that great which might've been expected from a Greek restaurant, so our fault but the waiter recommended everything we ordered. Go across the street if you want some good pasta and seafood. Hate to say that the service was not great. Sat with no water for the majority of my meal and obviously the recommendations weren't good. They got a great tip for not checking up on us more than once. The price was the craziest thing. 1 appetizer, 2 subpar entrees for $130 with tip. I'd expect an excellent entree for 40 bucks a pop and was greatly disappointed. The only thing I'd really be willing to come back and try is MAYBE a gyro for lunch to go but even that seems overpriced. I've had much much better Greek food at casual restaurants. read more

Delightful experience! Friendly, engaging staff, tasteful decor, and delicious food. My friends and I went to lunch and nearly had the place to ourselves. We had the Greek fries for an appetizer. I ordered the lunchtime soup and salad which consists of avgolemeno soup and Greek salad although I subbed for a beet salad at no additional cost. A simple and delicious lunch for $15. Very reasonable. We will definitely be returning to explore more of the menu. read more

My friends and I had such a great experience here! The food was amazing from start to finish. I ordered the lamb gyro and it was perfectly seasoned, tender, and full of flavor. We shared several appetizers and desserts, and every single one was delicious. The owner and staff were super pleasant and very attentive, which made the night even better. Great food, great service, and the perfect spot for a night out! read more

So I have a high standard for Greek food having grown up with it. I also understand that Greek cuisine can be very regional so people can have very different views on what makes something authentically Greek or delicious Greek food. Having disposed of the disclaimers.... I ordered on line for takeout. We were interested in the gyro since it is the one thing I don't make at home. We all ordered the authentic gyro. The menu does not specify the meat used, lamb or some combo with pork and or beef, so if you have dietary restrictions, ask. It was a good sandwich and for $15, also a good value. Plenty of meat, thick and flavorful tzatziki, fresh veggies. We also ordered the Greek fries and the calamari appetizers. The calamari was overdone (a bit chewy) and I did not recognize the spicing here to be Greek. There were hints of Old Bay in the dredge. We ordered it with the lemon aioli (not marinara) and found that either the squid or aioli was spicy. The flavor was not to our liking and that could be just a difference in personal preference. The Greek fries were $12.50 and topped with oregano and "feta" cheese. The disappointment here was the amount of feta, the type of feta and the amount of fries. There was very little feta. I expected more. Feta is very regional but I have to say that this tasted more like mitzithra than feta. Some of the non-Greek fetas have this taste and texture so that might explain things. However, the small portion for which they charged $12.50 was not a good value and we would not reorder this in the future. Overall, I would give these folks 3.5 stars with the Gyro 4 stars read more

This place only opened about two months ago so we've been eager to give it a try. Strangely the menu seems to be that of an Italian restaurant, full of pasta dishes, but with Greek names, for example, Zola Bucatini is Chicken Parmigiana...but hey, when in Greece... My wife ordered Lobster Bisque, but it didn't look, or taste, like any Lobster Bisque either of us had ever seen, or tasted. In fact she sent it back. The alternative was two MASSIVE Spanakopita, like large fruit turnover sized, very doughy but tasty enough. I'm not sure how many people could eat two of those and have room for an entree. I had the Avgolamono (Greek lemon chicken & rice soup) but it was more like wet mashed potatoes, but very tasty and lemony, with very little chicken found. For my entree I ordered the Gemista (stuffed tomatoes) with lemon roasted potatoes and they were not good. The filling (beef and rice) was very soft (mushy) with occasional undercooked rice adding the only texture to offset everything else that was very very soft and THEY ARE MASSIVE, two of them larger than softballs! Additionally there was a background bitterness I could not identify the source of. The lemon potatoes were hit and miss with a couple of tasty wedges and many that were not very tasty. My wife ordered the Salmon with lemon potatoes and broccolini. She gave the salmon a 4 but also didn't care much for the potatoes, and neither of us liked the broccolini, my favorite green veggie. That all said, the waitstaff is trying very hard to make a pleasant experience for diners. Unfortunately the acoustics inside are poor and our table next to a window was very drafty and cold. Sadly Myrtos feels half baked. Maybe we'll give it a second try... read more

We stopped in for an early dinner. We ordered unsweetened iced tea -- but they said they were out of it. OK. We ordered mocktails instead. For an entree, I ordered "Gemista (stuffed tomatoes): they were out of it. It was literally the first Traditional Dish listed on the menu. I switched to a kabob. The service was good, the atmosphere was ok. The bread was very good. And it was all expensive. That's what really got to us. We couldn't get what we wanted, and we felt it was too pricey. read more

Excellent experience-tonight was our second time at Myrtos and it was wonderful!! We have excellent service. The food was fresh, flavorful, well-prepared and beautifully served. We started with a combination appetizer platter with hummus, fresh tzatziki, eggplant, stuffed grape leaves and toasted pita. Each bite was delicious. I had a special gyro platter that was about the best I've had anywhere. My husband had the scallops which were cooked just right but the pasta wasn't as flavorful as the rest of our meal. I'd recommend the black cod or Chilean sea bass which we had last time. Try to save room for dessert-we had baklava and it was excellent! The staff was very attentive and service was outstanding. We can't wait to go back. read more

Having been to Greece twice, I can say that this place is very authentic! I had a the pork souvlaki and my wife had the gyro platter. The food was fantastic and plenty of flavor. The menu was also extensive so many options for lots of different tastes. The service was excellent with the owner making sure to come up to the table to personally check on us and he talked with us, making our large party feel engaged. He made the experience personal and fun. On top of it the hostess and waitress were very friendly! They came up to check on us as our group arrived and made sure to ask what they could bring for our children so that they also were fed! Some of the nicest wait staff you could find. Always asking questions with a smile and, you could tell that they wanted to help each other and their customers. The place itself is pretty cool, almost modern romantic. The owner was nice enough to take our picture in front of the in restaurant sign and brought up the house lights so the picture looked good. Overall an awesome spot and we instantly recommended it to multiple people that night. read more

This was our second time to this restaurant. We were impressed the first time. This time we were mostly impressed with the food but not with the outrageous pricing. I know restaurants have had to raise their prices quite a bit over the past several years and the margin on food service is not great for any restaurant owner. However, my husband and I split an underwhelming (flavor and portion) calamari app, ordered only water and two paper-wrapped gyro platters that came with fries and a very small Greek salad that had olives, cucumber, tomatoes and onions. Our bill was $85.00! Not including tip! For two sandwich platters and a small app? We will likely not be back. read more

Went for my Birthday Monday 12/15/2025 and all I can say is we will be back. We were greeted at the door by I'm guessing the owner and the Hostess and were seated way before the rest of the party arrived. They had live music which was a tad loud but enjoyable. Now on to the food! The apps were very good as well as the mains and only one of guest took a doggie bag home. As for the desserts they were amazing! read more

This has quickly become our favorite local restaurant. The food is exceptional, its a world class meal in Downingtown. The scallops are delicious, easily my favorite dish. The soups are excellent, the pasta is delicious, we don't have a bad word about Myrtos. The service is also excellent, the staff is friendly and attentive and The owner is so friendly. The restaurant itself is decorated very nice, it's welcoming and pretty. read more

What a great find! Someone at my eye surgeon's office suggested we go to Myrtos, since we were looking for a good place to have lunch on the way home. Am I ever glad they did! We will go again, eventhough it is about an hour's drive from home. It has nice outdoor and I for seating. The ambiance is pleasant. The gentleman waiting on us was wonderful. I had the best avgolemeno soup for first course I've ever tasted! In fact I took home a take out portion so I could have the soup again the next day. We also had delicious, crispy, tender calamari with a tasty dipping sauce. The lamb gyro my friend had was delicious, as was my moussaka. We had a nice tart Greek white wine and also Greek water. We topped the whole meal off with little cups of rich, sweet Greek coffee . And yes, my take out soup was just as tasty the next day! read more

Myrtos, Myrtos, Myrtos... Where do I begin? Heard so many wonderful things about you on local pages + social media outlets. Wanted to LOVE you. But you left my high-five hanging last night. Let's start with the staff. Although already booked for 6p, the team worked with my husband on the reservation + shuffled things around to accommodate our bigger group for the evening - thank you. Our waitress was kind, checked-in often and took care of our asks/concerns in a very polite and professional manner. Let's get to the food... The menu was a bit off putting as we noticed there were quite a few items that were notable Italian dishes, but figured Myrtos was trying to put their Greek spin on classic Italian staples for a bit of a fusion inspired menu offering. Recommended Apps: - Greek Salad. Simple and to the point. Cold, crisp and fresh vegetables. Hints of Greek spices. Good brininess from the olives add a nice touch. But the salad did lack a bit of vinegar, waitress did bring over additional vinegar to make this salad top notch. - Keftedes "Greek Style Meatballs". These were tasty and for the most part our table enjoyed them with a side of pita + tzatziki. - Octopus was tender and properly cooked, but was under seasoned and lacked that nice char / smokiness you should taste from a char grill fire. Apps Not recommended: - Fried Calamari. Nothing special here. Lacked flavor and presentation was lackluster leaving much to be desired. Recommended Mains: - Gyro, everything you'd expect from a good Gyro served with a side of french fries + greek salad. - Rack of Lamb was cooked as requested. Soft and tender but did lack salt. Lemon potatoes were definitely over cooked but the broccolini was served appropriately. Mains NOT Recommended: - Pastichio. We had high hopes for this baked classic Greek pasta dish and photos online actually pushed us to order it but when we received this dish we noticed the height just wasn't there. This dish should have LAYERS of baked pasta, a noticeable creaminess from the bechamel topped with ground meat + a cheesy golden top. It fell flat and the sauce it sat in was reminiscent of a canned tomato sauce you'd grab at your local grocer which lacked the traditional Greek flavors you'd expect from a Greek staple of this magnitude. - New York Strip. Unfortunately the kitchen does not know how to properly cook a steak, this was probably one of the biggest flops we experienced last night. When we received the steak, it was cooked at a medium-well temperature when the requested temperature was to be medium-rare. We sent the steak back for a new steak + what we received was far worse then the first round. Second steak was sent out to our table with a sear but a cold/rare interior, inedible. We sent the steak back for a second time + requested that the kitchen cook the steak to an edible standpoint so that our 12 year old could actually enjoy his meal for the evening. All in all - I really want to be a fan. I remember driving by as the new business owners were setting this place up for its grand opening and just thoroughly being excited about this restaurant. My intent is to not poo-poo this business because I know they are a new establishment and are still working through their kinks. Aside from this, Downingtown does indeed need the diversity of this cuisine offering and is a bit richer because of it. But there are just some kinks their kitchen needs to work through to make this establishment a neighborhood staple. read more

Wow...this place makes you want to slap your YaYa and pray to Zeus to bring you back for seconds! We were greeted by the host and quickly seated. We then had a couple of appetizers that captivated our taste buds to no end! We had the fried zucchini, chicken soup and most amazing fried cheese dish! Evan the chef and owner was beyond gracious as he greeted each diner with dinning recommendations and stories of his family dishes. Our entrees arrived very quickly as we and just as delicious! Thank you Chef Evan for the great food ! See you soon! read more

Visited this recently-arrived Greek restaurant. Ordered saganaki and octopus as appetizers and Gyros platters for dinner. The food was ok, but not exceptional. Although the restaurant wasn't packed, they forgot to serve the appetizers and brought them after the Gyros platters. The Saganaki was salty, the Octopus cooked well but cooked with too much oil and too little seasoning. The Gyros sandwiches were rather bland. The fries were soggy. The best part of the platter was the Greek salad, although it would have been more authentic if it included a stuffed grape leaf. The dinner cost $100, which seems a bit high for Gyros sandwiches and appetizers. read more

We have been there three times, and never have been disappointed with the food, atmosphere or service. This last time we had the calamari appetizer. Delicious! The Mousaka was quite a generous portion and delicious as well. My husband enjoyed the tasty Sea Bass. And whenever Baklava is available, we can not resist. It is the best we have had anywhere! read more

Really a nice surprise. Excellent food and really nice people. Wide ranging menu with a number of great authentic Greek dishes. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the Sea Bass was wonderful. Worth a visit. Enjoy! read more

Our waitress was very friendly, attentive and gave great recommendations and made sure we were well taken care of the whole night! The owner came out and also to meet with everyone and was very personable and nice! Services was top notch and they really care about making sure that it stays that way by checking in. The food was really good from our appetizers of the tiropitakia, and shrimp lejon! Both very tasty and good portions to share. For dinner I got the traditional gyro and it was one of the best I've had. Very fresh produce and good amount of meat and tzatziki, I highly recommend! Fiancé got the chicken souvlaki and really liked it. I tried it and thought it was delicious as well! Dessert we got the Ek-Mek and karydopita both were extremely delicious and were gone very fast! Overall I had a great experience dining here and will be back. Delicious food, kind staff made for a very enjoyable evening out! Also to the people saying it's Italian... yes, there are a few dishes that resemble Italian dishes. Just like Italian cuisine, Greek cuisine is regional not national. The owner is from Western Greece that is near Italy so there will be some similarities of the two regions. read more

Terrific fresh food and friendly service in an elegant atmosphere -- terrific addition to the neighborhood

My friends and I had a wonderful time at Myrto's last night. The ambience was appealing without being overpowering. Our server, Antonio, was very informative, and his recommendations were spot on. Two of us enjoyed the tasty and savory moussaka while my other friend savored the shrimp linguini dish. We treated ourselves to a walnut cake a la mode. It was incredibly decadent and delicious and we loved every bite. The hostess and other wait staff were also very friendly and welcoming. We had a great time at Myrtos and will return to try another fabulous Greek dish. read more

The atmosphere was perfect, the food was some of the best I've had. The service was great and we will definitely be going back!

Date night and wow, what a great find. we started with the falafel and spanakopita. now usually, I don't like falafel, but this is baked, and the texture and flavor is off the charts. Getting spanakopita really right can be tricky, but this was perfect. flakey, garlicky, stuffed to the max and drizzled with a fantastic Greek olive oil. both were the best I've ever had. The tzatziki is incredible, and you're going to want to take more home with you. It's thick and packed with flavor. Then we had chicken and pork souvlaki skewers. Again, best I've had. The meat was tender...on skewers. Now, the staff. One word about how they treat you...Family! They are clean, attentive, and polite! This byob has everything you could want. I can't wait to go back and try more of the menu. Oh, and make reservations! read more
