    Dolmathes
    Corinna B.

    Absolutely amazing! If I could give this place 6 stars, I would. Every interaction with staff was great and service was attentive. We were on our way to Fresno from San Francisco and stopped here for dinner. We sat outside and the ambiance was very quiet and cozy. The food was fantastic! We had the Dolmathes as appetizer and then the Chicken Souvlaki and Gyro Plate as entree. We also had a cappuccino which was super tasty as well. Wonderful experience, would absolutely come back.

    Lamb Gyro Wrap and Seafood Pita
    Jon R.

    My wife and I dropped by Pylos for a late lunch. We shared a tasty lamb gyro with fries and a juicy seafood pita with a salad and enjoyed both. We sat in the outside patio which was bright and comfortable with a view of the farmers market since it was Sunday. The service was professional and efficient. I would return again if I was in the area for an affordable, tasty meal.

    Dirty martini and aperol spritz

    My friends and I went for some apps and drinks during the San Carlos wine fest. We were seated on the patio right away & our server was very attentive. The patio seating is nice because it's mostly covered & shaded. We tried the falafel meze appetizer, the falafel was cooked perfectly- crisp on the outside & soft and moist on the inside. The tahini & hummus dips were a great complement to the falafel. We also had the octopus. The octopus was flavorful and very tender, but as you can see in the photo the portion was very small, not even a whole tail. The cocktails were great & everything was a reasonable price! I would definitely come back to try more things on their menu!

    Dip sampler- an absolute bargain

    Walked in for a late lunch. Prices at lunch were very reasonable. Food was all delicious, portions were generous and service was fast and friendly. The dip sampler was such a bargain!

    This is review is based on take out service. Ordering online was easy through their website. Pick up was easy and smooth. They have indoor and outdoor dining service. I appreciated that the server held the bag from the bottom and not just the top from the handles in presenting the take out bag to us. This was a very enjoyable and delicious meal at home. The containers held the food well enough upon arrival home though we had to transfer the gemista to a dish immediately. The colors and flavors of the food certainly added to the overall deliciousness of the meal. The fries were nice and crisp with good cheese flavor that you didn't need any ketchup. The zucchini cakes were so delicious with the dill sauce. The Gemista was beautiful to eat. Will look forward to another meal here again.

    Mediterranean Gnocchi

    Food was so delicious! I got the Mediterranean Gnocchi and I've tried the Grilled Eggplant Pita Wrap last visit. Lots of vegetarian options! I'm surprised it wasn't very packed on a Sunday afternoon. We came two weekends in a row! Highly recommend this place for great food.

    Heard good things about gluten free options here. The first plate had gyro meat with rice, a fresh cucumber and tomato salad, and tzatziki on top. The meat was flavorful and not dry at all...good balance with the cool, creamy tzatziki. Salad was super fresh, and the rice was soft and just sticky enough to scoop easily. The second plate had two beef skewers with grilled veggies, rice, and a side of tzatziki again. The meat was nicely grilled, had a good char, and was still juicy. Veggies were cooked well...not too soft, still had a bit of crunch. Lemon on the side gave it a nice little zing. Also had some fries on the side...crispy, salty, and hit the spot. All around solid meal. Good portions, good flavors, and everything looked and tasted fresh. Would definitely go back.

    salad, pita, lemon drop cocktail

    We had a lovely meal here! Started with the refreshing Pylos salad. The beyti, which was a rich and savory beef and lamb dish, was our favorite entree. The moussaka, which was a layered eggplant and zuchini dish, was also good. For dessert, we got the chocolate cake and lemon sorbet, and both were very flavorful and decadent. There weren't many people there, so it was a bit quiet, but service was fast!

    Lamb shank, Moussaka
    Crystal H.

    We dropped in a little before 8pm to order to-go food on Friday. We ordered a glass of red wine at the bar while we waited for the food. We ordered the Gyros, moussaka, and lamb shank. The moussaka and lamb shank was to die for! Lamb shank was so tender and juicy. Fall off the bone. Moussaka was similar to a lasagna but vegetarian. Juicy and soft. The Gyros was a bit too salty for us. The salad that came with the gyros helped tone down the salt.

    Lamb Shank
    Gretel V.

    Went during a weekday for dinner and the place was empty. Service was fast. Food was ok. Similar menu options as other Mediterranean restaurants. Wasn't a fan of the orzo (kind of bland). Lamb meat was very tender and fish was soft.

    Salmon

    Very disappointed. The Salmon was very dry , overcooked. The salad dressing was too sweet , was supposed to have lemon ? The pita bread tasted a bit old . We used to order from here often and had no complaints. Not what it used to be .

We ordered several dishes and everything was very well made -- flavourful, decent serving size and yummy. None of the dishes we ordered were too greasy either. The octopus starter and the lamb chops stood out to me. The only negative I felt were the prices. We landed up spending about $250 for three. That's what one would pay for an upscale steak house with great service -- Bahche was not that good. That's why I reduced the number of stars by 1.

From the wine wall to the dining tables, such intricate details. Service was spectacular, wine was amazing, the focaccia bread and herb butter a 5/5! A few things that fell short from a 5 star experience was more of the food experience. Some of the appetizers were just okay and the branzino entree wasn't fully deboned. My ratings for dinner - - Montepulciano and Red Blend 5/5 - beautiful aroma and taste - Focaccia Bread and Herb Butter 5/5 - calamari 3/5 - tasted a little bland, however the dipping sauce complimented it well - Brussels sprouts 3/5 - it came with pork and Gorgonzola cheese, which was unexpected. We don't eat pork so I ate around it. - Bistecca entree 3/5 - steak was good but my boyfriend mentioned that the steak didn't look rested after it was cooked. The green beans were the best! But the French fries had a lot of grease. - Branzino 3/5 - I think if I didn't find 5 bones while I was eating, the rating would have been higher. The salad was delicious though! I think we will try this restaurant again. Maybe try different appetizers such as the burrata or fava bean & broccoli rabe OR just stick with the focaccia bread! For entrees we will probably try a pasta and pizza instead.
