Regular gyro with onion and tomato, side of tzatziki
Josh G.

I haven't been to Sebastian's in a couple years, since Alex sold the business to the new owners. I have to say, it is just as delicious as it always was. I used to live right down the street and walk there regularly. I am super happy that the quality of food has not dropped an iota. As a matter of fact, the tzatziki seemed a touch thicker than I remember, and just as packed full of punch as always. Picked up a gyro all the way and am super happy with my lunch choice today!!

Open Gyro Dinner

The food is incredible and authentic Greek. The staff makes you feel like family. I try to stop here each time I am in town. I would highly recommend the open gyro dinner if you love gyro meat.

I haven't had this west side staple in a long while. I was craving a good old gyro loaded with a bunch of tzatziki sauce. Sebastian's serves up the freshest made to order gyro around. Still owned and operated by the original owner quality is still there. I sided it with their delicious fries. Great little lunch spot. Inside is no frills as there are only 5-6 small tables. I always get it to go. Sebastian's is a must try for those who haven't been here. You won't be disappointed.

This is a very small restaurant on Glenway Avenue in Cincinnati. They focus on Greek food specifically gyros. Although they have very limited space and tables inside service was available at the time of my visit. I got their original gyro more or less plain with just the pita bread, meat, and Tzatziki sauce (I don't really like tomatoes or onions too much). The bread was warm and delicious and their Tzatziki sauce was an excellent take. But the star was that lamb meat as it just had so much darn flavour. Plus they really loaded tons of it on my sandwich too. As good as gyro gets for sure. We also got an order of Spanakopita which is phylo dough, feta cheese, and a little spinach. The combination is really delicious as I really love feta cheese. This is one of those small, old school restaurants that's been around a really long time because they deliver awesome gyros and I'll definitely be back for another soon. Thumbs up.

I lived on the west side for a while now and I'm almost embarrassed to say that I've never been here. I've never had Greek food other than baklava either. I went in in the afternoon and there was a gentleman who I'm assuming is the owner and another lady. They are both very friendly. I got a little bit of everything. The small gyro Was still pretty big I couldn't even finish it. The Greek fries were amazing I wish I knew with that seasoning was but they wouldn't tell me. It's a restaurant secret. And the desserts were wonderful as well. I don't have any kind of Greek food to compare it to but I highly recommend you stopping by and trying it out.

2 gyros and 1 fries - about $14

Stop by here if you want some great gyros! It's located on the west side and definitely worth the drive if you're not from the area. Find some parking spaces in the back of the restaurant. When you first come in, you'll see that there are only about 10 tables (fits 4 each) and you'll have to order at the counter. Don't be afraid if the line is a bit long since they serve the food pretty quickly. My favorites go-to are their gyros and French fries.

A happy sebastian!

Count your change, especially if you pay with a 20.00. Just sayin' and I am not the only one where a "mistake" on the change back occurred.

Everything at Fillo was SO GOOD! I'm sad we didn't learn until this place until now--it has…read moreapparently been open for years! Our server was very kind, and he explained that the chefs are the owners, and they are in the kitchen every single night. This is their passion project, focusing on super fresh ingredients, and you can absolutely tell. We started with the bread service, which was delicious. It was covered in seeds and spices, giving it an extra punch of flavor. We then moved on to the cheese saganaki and fried feta, which was my favorite bite of the night! For mains, we got both branzinos. The filet came on a bed of rice and spinach flavored with spices. The filet was perfectly crispy. The whole branzino was also delicious, but just watch out for bones! We were pleasantly stuffed so we didn't try dessert this time, but we'll be back soon!

The service at Fillo was great, and the atmosphere was pleasant, although the restaurant felt too…read morecold. I saw others holding their shoulders obviously cold as well. Also there were no paper towels in one of the restrooms. Unfortunately, the food wasn't to my taste. It may be that I LOVE Mediterranean food ( Armenian/Persian) but not Greek food. The olives were too salty for me and the feta-filled phyllo appetizer felt too heavy. The octopus was beautifully presented but not for me. The chicken was fine, though nothing special. I'm more accustomed to Armenian and Persian food, so personal preferences certainly played a part. Our server was attentive and enthusiastic. I would have appreciated being asked about our tastes before receiving recommendations based on what was popular. Overall, I appreciated the the service and setting, but dinner was disappointing to me personally.

First, I have not been to Abigail street in two years, because I now live in Maine. Every time I…read morereturn to Cincinnati I go to Abigail street, EVERY TIME. Heck, my wife was there in June and had the nerve to send me pictures of each course, but I digress. So why write this review now, well let me tell you. I just got back from a trip to Scotland and we went to what was supposedly the best Tapas place in Edinburgh, and it was not even close to Abigail street. So, rather than write a scathing review for that place, I figured I would come on and write this review instead. Food: 7/5 (I know, more than 100%). The reason, the food is beyond exceptional, but the pacing of the meal is great. We usually order 6-7 dishes (always finish with the ricotta and honey) and they will come out one or two at a time. You get to savor each dish, and then laugh and talk with your party about how good that course was and then BOOM, more amazing food arrives. Service: 5/5 - never had a bad thing at all. Watched them handle some very difficult circumstances with some very entitled people with such grace and professionalism. Also, they are so knowledgable, but more than that, they are not afraid to not know something. They work as a team. If one of the staff knows the wines better, they will answer wine questions. It is a rarity to find a staff at a restaurant that truly works as a team like that. Atmosphere: 5/5 - from the second you walk in, relaxed, calm, comfortable. The whole establishment welcomes you in, exuding confidence in the culinary adventure you are about to experience. Drinks: 5/5 - the cocktails may be a 6/5. The wines are delicious. Consistency: 5/5 - every time I go it is an incredible experience. Value: 5/5 - be ready to drop some money, but also know that that it will be so worth it.

My husband I were visiting Cincinnati on vacation and found this place based on online reviews. We…read moretypically like small plates, bar seating and a lively scene where we can interact with others. This place hit all the boxes. We were able to score bar seats without a reservation and had a nice time here. Parking - we ubered here, it looks like they had street parking but that might have been more tricky. We tried: Octopus - great, a tad salty Gambas - my husband enjoyed this Salmon - I especially liked the crunchy chickpeas Chenin Blanc Normandia White Blend Neon Lights (cocktail) - not my favorite Rosé - amazing, a great porch pounder.
