We enjoyed our meals. Solid breakfast classics. I had try to crepes, and despite them being a bit on the thick side, they were very tasty, and the cinnamon flavor was a nice surprise.

We ordered a mezze platter with tzatziki, skordalia and a cuke and tomato salad, served with pita that tasted like it was made in house. My husband enjoyed the lamb and pork ragu served over polenta and shared my entree, the evening's special - a stuffed eggplant that was the best preparation of thIs humble vegetable I can remember. Stuffed with red lentils and crispy mushrooms, it was outstanding, especially with the addition of the tzatziki. Didn't reallt have room for dessert, but we were on a roll The baklava was delicious - loaded with nuts, of course, but not dripping syrup, which meant that the filo pastry was crisp. A thoroughly wonderful meal, with friendly service in a beautiful room. We live in CT, which has a dearth of Greek restaurants. We're already talking about coming back to the city to enjoy Magissa's food and hospitality again.

Easy free on street parking located near many breweries on nearby Fox street. Our waiter was super friendly and attentive . Not a lot of beers available, but both local for on tap. Had delicious IPA from Goodfire and tried the imported bottle Greek beer which was awesome and refreshening. My wife had a glass of wine which she really liked and the waiter was helpful in helping her decide based on her wine preferences. For food we ordered hash browns which were good flavor and two Gyros- tofu variety for my vegetarian wife and I had the chicken. The pita and tzatziki and all ingredients in the Gyros tasted super fresh and both tofu and chicken were well cooked. It was so good I almost ordered a second one! Will definitely be back for their daily happy hour and to try out more of what they offer. Downside is cost-is a bit more expensive at 70+ dolllars for 1 wine, 2 beers and the food above, but it was very good!

Made with ground meat, tomatoes and onions, and baked in phyllo sheets. So delicious! The flaky phyllo absorbs the delicious juices. Forget about utensils. This one is surely best eaten with clean hands! I wish I bought two! Next time, I will! And I shall inhale them just as I did today. The Mount Olympus Souvlaki is fit for a HUGE appetite! I don't think Konishki could finish this in one sitting. It's huge! It's like a gigantic pita burger with your choice of pork, chicken or lamb. Loaded with round white and red onions, which is lovely with the meat. They ran out of lamb so we tried it with pork. Delicious! Order extra yogurt sauce with this because you will need it! The Spanakopita was not so good. I prefer mine using phyllo sheets, but this was made using flour, I think. It's a far cry from the traditional ones with phyllo sheets. Texture was way too hard and the filling was not so tasty. I'll skip this the next time I go there. Order door is from the parking lot side (not on Vineyard). Take out only. Many pre-ordered so that's what I'll do next time, but it wasn't a long wait either. Kitchen area looked clean. You can scan the QR code at the door or they have a menu with photos inside the shop. Overall, great experience. The food is reasonably priced given today's inflation. Supporting small local businesses is a must! Eating real food vs fast food is better for good health. I am sure to update this after trying more menu options, especially the lamb. Update: The bougatsa remains my favorite! I love the beef, but it's still a bit too greasy for me. I will air fry it today hoping the phyllo that sopped up all the grease will turn out crispy. The dessert bougatsa is very delicious. The custard is not too sweet and I love the flaky phyllo. Highly recommend. I would order a pan of this! I would bring this to a potluck party. I could eat this daily. Yes, it's that good! The dolmates are GIGANTIC! Almost the size of lumpia!!! 4 dolmas per serving. It was delicious but didn't have the pine nuts that I am accustomed to. The feta sauce complimented the dolma filling. The gel galaktobuprek (spelling) was way too sweet and thick for me. Reminds me of a thick coconut pie. Perhaps it would be ok as a 1/2 tsp serving size. If you crave for sweets, then this is the dessert for you. Suggest you place an order EARLY on Friday because they do run out.

Absolutely amazing Greek food in the heart of Ogunquit - an unexpected and very welcoming find…read more Patio seating (next to a fire pit), quiet and intimate atmosphere. Started with bread and olive oil and ordered the lamb shank and psari plaki. Amazing food - well done and delicious. Psari Plaki is a local cod with gigantes beans and olives in a yummy tomato sauce, baked in the oven. And the lamb shank was well done juicy lamb accompanied by feta cheese mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables. Large and filling portions, excellent presentation and all the flavors! I accompanied my meal with a glass of Greek Chardonnay. We didn't have space for dessert, BUT took a piece of galactoboureko to go. Ogunquit is not a place I expected to find quality Greek food, and I am glad I was proven wrong. Highly recommending Nicanos! As the server about the origin of the name

The food, unfortunately, was inconsistent: 1. Spreads: tzatziki and htipiti were fantastic; fava was good but a clear third place. I'd buy the first two to go if I could. 5/5 2. Octopus: a bit small but well-cooked and not at all chewy. Would order again. 4/5 3. Squash fritters: these were just bad; lukewarm and what little flavor there was was unappealing. 1/5 4. Lentil soup: extremely bland; badly needed more seasoning. 2/5 5. Sesame crusted feta: this had potential, but was let down by being extremely salty. 3/5 6.

We loved the Grecian - a Greek themed mixed appetizer plate with yummy pitas. The only addition that would have been good was a wedge of lemon but we devoured it before asking for one. LOL. We shared the shrimp appetizer- Gamberi e Agrumi- which was cooked perfectly but honestly it was the sauce that stole the show! Pistachio orange honey sauce - mmmm- so good. Then we shared Keftedes which was nice - half vegetarian for me and half lamb/beef. They were good but we couldn't stop thinking about the shrimp sauce. I had some Greek red wine which was fabulous!! We made a note to ourselves to be sure and stop here anytime we are in Brunswick.

Served here is an eclectic mix of Greek and Italian food. Not just the same tired old standards…read more(Parmigiana, Bolognese, Gyros), though they have these as well. The menu is pretty small and the dishes are not fancy, but this is more than made up for by the bold, fresh flavors, less-common ingredients, artful presentation, and generous portions. And equally importantly, creativity. Take the parmigiana, for example. Rather than boring, dry chicken breast theirs are made with boneless thighs, a much more interesting choice. In the carbonara, where you might expect bacon, something better: guanciale. Decorative herbs? Not the common parsley sprigs, instead beautiful purple micro-basil. The pastas: every one is made fresh in house, not dried. Excellent service as well. My waiter, Lucas, could not have been better, in every way. As for the bartender, Russell, the specialty cocktails are his own creations, with whimsical names, ingredients many of which I've never heard of, and the two I tried were fantastic. And he seemed genuinely pleased when I complimented him on this as I was leaving. The only service flaw - minor - was a delay in getting my first drink, which arrived after my appetizer. Appetizer was Arancini. Crunchy coating, and inside a risotto-style rice, al dente, along with asparagus, guanciale, and two cheeses for added interest. A beautiful presentation, artfully drizzled with lemon aioli (the lemon too subtle) and purple micro-basil. Two large pieces, and because I was dining solo I took one home for breakfast - along with half the generously-sized dessert cake. My cocktails: Eve's Temptation: Caraway-thyme infused vodka, Oloroso sherry, Dolin dry vermouth, apple, lemon. Hattan Bow Tie: Basil Hayden bourbon, Cocchi Barolo Chinato, Pernod Absinthe Superiore, flamed orange. Wish I could have tried every one! There's also a very interesting-sounding wine list including a red sparking Lambrusco dessert wine, served chilled, that I wanted to try but didn't. Lucas recommended the special pasta of the day, a simple dish of house-made spaghetti, romano, Calabrian chilis, garlic (lots and lots of it!), parsley, and bread crumbs. I don't normally go for pasta entrees, especially simple ones like this, but in this case it sounded interesting and I trusted his recommendation - after adding the optional grilled shrimp and guanciale. These additions raised the price considerably, but it was so worth it. The fresh pasta was perfectly cooked and the cheeses and bread crumbs added body without making it too heavy. The shrimps were very large, not overcooked, fresh, and loaded with more garlic flavor. The tails were not removed, which always slightly annoys me. The guanciale added smokiness and textural interest. More purple micro-basil for garnish. Pretty to be sure but disappointing to see it again; they used that on the arancini. As for the heat: it was more than mild from the chilis but by no means hot. The most assertive flavor was the garlic, much of it raw. Maybe a bit excessive but I'd rather have too much than too little. A good-sized portion but not huge, just the right amount to feel satisfied but not stuffed. And I left room for dessert! Dessert options were limited, even more so than the entrees. I decided on the pistachio olive oil cake. My take is it's like a pound cake but made with olive oil instead of butter. Olive oil was also drizzled on the plate and over the whipped cream; interesting. Lots of pistachio flavor, in the cake itself and also in the candied pistachios mixed in and sprinkled over the whipped cream which was flavored and firm. I ate one of the two slices and that was enough, taking the rest home. When I opened the box the next day I saw that they had even packed the leftover whipped cream in a small container, and it was still firm, not runny. Impressive. Disappointingly, there are no ice cream or gelato offerings for dessert. Lucas agreed with me that it seems a strange omission for an Italian restaurant. The room is comfortable and attractive, natural wood, old-fashioned cabinets, cork and burlap dominant in the decor. Plant prints, mosaics made from wine corks, an antique dresser in the men's room. The bar, dominant in the room (no TVs - yeah!), is apparently the place to meet and greet in Brunswick. I lost count of the number of hugs exchanged between the many people coming and going over the 90 minutes I was there. No hugs for me but I enjoyed watching the activity.

Ok here is a warning about my review - I am 100% Greek and I grew up in my family's Greek…read morerestaurant. So I know a thing or two about Greek food. I have strong opinions and I know what I'm used to eating when it comes to the "food of the Gods" as I call Greek cuisine. For that reason, I have waited a long time to eat at the Greeks of Peaks. I just did not want to be disappointed. Well, to be honest, I was NOT disappointed!!! The Greeks of Peaks serves up some really good Greek food with the requisite amount of lemon, oregano and familiar Greek deliciousness!!! Bravo to the other Greeks of Peaks!!! I will be back and I give it a strong recommendation indeed without any native Greek reservation! The customer service was friendly and good as well. Those women keep a smile on their faces while turning out some very good food! And all in a truck too! It is mind boggling to me that only 3 people can cook up such good food, serve it up in a friendly and fast way and create a happy dining experience, all while working in a small truck in an outside dining room. Okay okay since I am reviewing this establishment AND since I am Greek, I will have some thoughts on some things. The serving containers are too flimsy. They should be sturdier and, I think, larger. For the prices, I did want more food. But the cardboard containers soaked up too much of the dressing and the delicious oils - I was worried they wouldn't last through my meal. Also I did not like the forks at all. Please - parakalo - give me better utensils for my next meal with you! I look forward to many more great Greek meals with the Greeks of Peaks!!! And I encourage you to visit this very special place too!
