    Delish!! After so much junk food on our roadtrip, my mom and I wanted something fresh and clean. This was just what we needed. Servers were nice and helpful during ordering, but I will say the meats were a bit burnt. We sat by the kitchen so we saw a lot of fire which makes sense as to the char. It was a bit too much for us but maybe it's someone's cup of joe. Liked the mezze app and the potatoes were weirdly sour? Didn't finish them.

    No less wings with out the sauce, kiddo wanted ckn tenders, they turned out great

    Super cute modern looking Mediterranean food. Happy hour specials 3-6, full bar apps, kid menu, didn't have ckn tenders so made it from no less ckn wings w/o sauce and came out great ordered w side fries, served plenty full. Mom and I got the tavern burgers with the feta and sauce fries.. can out a lil cold but still good. Super sweet server very patient, was mine and my son's first time.

    Been here a few times so when friend offered to treat us to a meal, we chose here! Always delicious beer and good! One person chose the Souvlaki beef and chicken with fries plate, another the Falafel pita with fries and I love the Gyro pita with fries. Watched some tennis on one of the screens in the bar. Discovered at checkout an 8% Flagstaff surcharge... okay that's something new and felt bad our friend was paying an extra amount compared to others times I have been here. Those dollars don't go to the server... so be sure to tip your server... I was thinking maybe in cash to be sure the server got their tip!

    This Mediterranean spot is a little pricey and they charge an 8% surcharge on the bill. Our server said it was because the minimum wage law in Flagstaff forces higher wages (currently $18/hr) and it is passed on to the consumer. None of it goes to the servers. Despite this, the food was absolutely delicious and fresh. We were greeted early and had a great server. We ordered: - Mezze - a selection of housemade spreads, including: tunisian harissa hummus, hummus, and tzatziki - served with grilled pita and fresh veggies - Greek Salad - mesclun greens, heirloom tomato, kalamata olives, cucumber, onion, bell pepper, pepperocinis, feta, greek dressing, Add Chicken, Hold the Feta (daughter said this salad was very delicious!) - Souvlaki - 2 skewers, one chicken and one beef, lemon roasted potatoes, greek salad, pita, tzatziki sauce (I looooved the lemon roasted potatoes. The meat was grilled well and tender inside. The salad is delicious and full of fresh veggies, olives, pepperocinis, and herbs - this was so filling and good!) - 3 Little Pigs Fired Pizza - house fennel sausage, pepperoni, calabrese, mozzarella There are plenty of booths and tables inside. There's a men's and women's restroom for customers.

    Eh, had a large group and none of us were really impressed. Service was very good but the food didn't really hit any of us. Menu for food seemed limited as well.

    Falafel Pita
    Jason C.

    My friend and I were looking for a spot for dinner, and this was perfect! Grace and the rest of the staff were super attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. I always appreciate when a server can give us helpful info to make sure we are ordering something which fits our palate and appetite. I got the falafel with the side Greek salad. Everything was super fresh! The salad had a beautiful amount of different items. I especially appreciated the range of tomatoes. The falafel sandwich was also good seasoning-wise. I liked the herbs but felt the texture was a bit mushy. Definitely would come back in the future.

    Greek Salad with Chicken
    Paulina S.

    Great food--fresh, generous portions, and well-seasoned. I ordered the Greek salad with chicken and was very satisfied. The chicken was excellent--not small, dry cubes but juicy, well-marinated strips. The interior is clean, spacious, and adorned with beautiful, modern decor. The servers were friendly and brought our food out very quickly. Highly recommended!

    Receipt showing undisclosed 8% surcharge added to bill.
    Ken G.

    A ripoff. Found an undisclosed 8% "service fee" added on my credit card receipt after I paid bill. Probably explains why the restaurant and bar were mostly deserted at 7:00 pm on a Saturday night...peak dining hour. I sat alone at the bar so service was good. But food was most disappointing of my three nights eating out in Flagstaff. Chicken Parmesan was generous slab of deep fried breaded chicken coated with thin layer of sauce and cheese on bed of dry unseasoned pasta. Chicken was edible, pasta was not.

    My partner and I came here for our first date on my first day moving to Flagstaff and we sat at the bar and ordered the most amazing Greek food and martinis. Very memorable experience. We will definitely be back!

    Your prices are absurd and your 8% service charge on top of already ridiculous prices is shameful.

    I don't recall seeing any in the front of the building as I walked in to pick up my take-out. They did seat people apart inside from what I noticed.

    Is this restaurant dog friendly?

    No, indoor seating only

    Do they not sell taverna fries I don't seem them on the menu?

    They still have them

The restaurant itself was clean and had a stylish modern-meets-vintage vibe that made the atmosphere feel both cozy and upscale. Their cocktail menu was especially unique. I ordered the Vendetta Ride, and it was easily one of my favorite drinks of the night: light, slightly sweet, and finished with just the right kick. I absolutely loved it. The menu features creative contemporary American cuisine with an emphasis on sharing plates, which made the experience even more fun. We ordered two appetizers, two mains, and a dessert, and overall everything was excellent. My only critique would be the Duck Taquitos. The duck flavor was not there, and the mesquite mole sauce leaned too sweet for my taste. Aside from that, every dish impressed us. Overall, it was a fantastic meal and a great dining experience. I would highly recommend this spot if you're in Flagstaff!

I don't know if chef changes the menus often BUT we had the fattoush salad, the bread board, cabbage, fideo with the venison sausage, and the chicken thighs and for dessert, we had the parsley and the apricot gelato. Yes, it sounds strange, parsley gelato but holy moly, it is probably one of the best desserts I've ever had. It is savory and sweet, so if you like really sweet desserts, it might not be your favorite but it is definitely unique and delicious. Everything was incredible. My only critique is that everything is a shareable and there's no way to serve each item, which is easily fixed with a serving spoon so, not really a critique. 11/10 food Service was great. Attentive without smothering me. Ambiance was good too. Not too crowded. Noise level was good. Go. You will not regret it.

It's warm and cozy and you're surrounded by the hotel with a huge expanse of green space in front of you so, if you're traveling with kids, they have a place to play.

So much so, they have been craving it and cannot find another place that tastes the same. I ordered their two fish taco special which was different than any other fish taco I've had, but very good! We also tried their corn and shrimp chowder which was amaaaaaazing! My son ordered the hurricane drink and said it was strong but very tasty. This place seemed like a little gem to the locals.

    Four stars for the food... five stars for Scott…read more We wandered into Tiki Grill and ordered the Pittsburgh Burger, because honestly, who can resist a burger stacked high with fries and coleslaw? It's basically a sandwich that looked at a side order and said, "Hop on, we're going together." Then Scott, the owner, came by. Turns out he's a former white-tablecloth restaurant guy who decided to bring his culinary wizardry to a laid-back grill. And you can feel it immediately. The guy doesn't just run the place, he hosts it. Now let's talk surprises. The hidden gem of the night was the ratatouille. Yes... ratatouille. At a grill known for burgers. And it was the best ratatouille I've had in 25 years. Somewhere in Provence a French grandmother just nodded approvingly. The onion rings? Fried perfection. Crispy, golden, and exactly what onion rings aspire to be when they grow up. The burgers themselves were a bit overcooked for my taste, which is the only reason this lands at four stars instead of five. But Scott's presence at the restaurant more than made up for it. The guy genuinely cares about his guests, checks in, chats, and makes the whole place feel welcoming. So here's the official scorecard: Food: Four Stars Onion rings: 5 Stars Ratatouille: 5 Stars Scott just being Scott: 6 stars (if Yelp allowed) Bottom line: go for the onion rings, stay for the ratatouille, and enjoy meeting Scott. Some restaurants have good food. This one has good people, and that's a recipe worth returning for.
