    Poseidon was a wonderful and unexpected hole-in-the-wall find. At first, we didn't know what to…read moreexpect, as the restaurant appeared fairly empty, with the exception of a bored-looking couple seated outside, and the owners friends, seated at a table inside by the kitchen. The restaurant had a dark allure to it, only to be lit brightly by the warm hospitality of its owner. We sat at a humble, candlelit booth for two. The menu was fairly extensive but very reasonably priced. We proceeded to order a couple of (non-alcoholic) beers, and some tzatziki and grilled garlic bread as starters. Let's get into details about the food. [[Tzatziki]] - this was, hands down, the best I've ever had. It looks so simple, yet it was an explosion of flavors. It was perfectly cool and refreshing from the cucumbers, and flavorful with all of the garlic. The yogurt they use is superior to that of America, so it was creamier and thicker. It was so good, we ordered two! [[Garlic Bread]] - though simple, and nothing far-fetched from the ordinary, the grill imparted a wonderful smokey flavor onto the garlic bread, which was delectably crisped and buttered. We used it to dip in the tzatziki. [[Poseidon Platter]] - the restaurant namesake dish. It included calamari, sole fish, and scampi, served with rice. This was delicious, and the presentation was beautiful. Each seafood was fried with care, and the batter was light and crisp, allowing the seafood's flavors to shine. [[Athens Plate]] - this dish came with gyro, lamb chop, steak, pork, and rice. The meat was seasoned and grilled to the tee. This was my friend's dish, but from what I tried, and he ate, it was more than just satisfying. It's been a couple of days since our dinner at Poseidon, and on my first trip to Europe ever. I am, to this moment, reminiscing this dinner experiencing, and longing for another chance to revisit Poseidon once more.

    Better than I remember - tasty, fresh and authentic. Excellent service! My favorites: tzatziki,…read moregrilled pepperoni, fried zucchini, grilled sardines. Yam!

    I never expected to eat the most delicious Greek food I've ever tasted in Germany, of all places!…read moreThis was my first meal after arriving in Europe, and the server went out of his way to make it special. The ambiance was spectacular with candlelight tables and relaxing music. I ordered the Farmer's Salad, but I was brought soup and bread with a delicious spread before dinner and a cinnamon sugar caramel fried dough dish after the main course for dessert. The salad was exceptional, of course, as were all of the other dishes served. The price was extremely reasonable given the quality of the meal and the top-notch service. 10/10 would come here again! Edit: They only take cash, so make sure to have some on hand when you come here. There is an ATM nearby if you need one, though.

    What a great place for a great dinner!!! Visiting our son locally, looked for a restaurant we would…read moreall enjoy and came upon Metaxa Greek. Wow. So glad we did. We normally enjoy Greek, being from FL, and located Metaxa. From the outside appearance right through to the seating. Sat at a nice table by the window, they offer great appetizers but before even ordering they bring you grilled bread with a dipping sauce, a bowl of soup and a very flavorful salad, all at no charge. We ordered 3 different dinners and 3 drinks. Souvlaki, gyro platter and gyro "bake". All were great! Very plentiful. Upon finishing, we were delivered a homemade desert of deep fried dough balls drizzled with honey/chocolate and dobs of whip cream. Very tasty and again, at no charge!! Then Yanni, the owner, dropped by with free shots of ouzos, which he too had with us!!! Very great service and the personal touch of the owner is what makes a dining experience memorable and worth what you pay. All though we leave on the am, we will be back and for sure will go there a few times while visiting again. My son all ready plans on going back next weekend. Do yourself a solid and go check out Metaxa, you will be happy you did and for sure will have a great dining experience!!

    Stopped here by chance since we passed by it on our way back home. It is a beautiful restaurant…read morewith a picturesque view behind it. The restaurant is very busy, which is always a good sign. The staff is friendly, but keep in mind they are trying to serve everyone, so your order may take longer. We ordered a variety of dishes because we were starving. Ordered the stuff mushrooms, over baked shrimp, tatziki, pork soluvaki, and pita bread. Everything came out piping hit and delicious. The portions are very generous. We had to take the rest with us. Overall, we had a great meal and would definitely come back again.

    Most amazing place. My first experience with this place was…read moreover 20 years ago when my family was stationed here with the military. Jump to 2017 when my partner told me we would be coming to Germany to revisit this town. Well the only thing I had on my mind was the "Greek Restaurant" (I couldn't remember the name.) When we showed up one of the staff in formed me that the original had burned down and the new location was built. Well that night was my first experience dinning here again since a child, an WOW the staff along with the meals were amazing. Fast forward to this evening. 11/24/19 Again we are back the only difference is we brought my mother. *****Again I can't express how amazing this place is.***** We didn't have a reservation nor did we call to check if they could even seat us. We walk in are greeted with such a warm welcome by the man behind the bar. Then this lovely young lady ask's how many of us and finds a place for us. We ordered a Gyro plate , the braised lamb shank with eggplant and the musacka plate. All of it was great. The atmosphere perfect. I hope and pray that I will be able to enjoy this place again in my life time.
