    A piece of metal in my fries

    1/5 I walked in and the place was completely empty, with no one at the register. I waited about two minutes before anyone came over, and I could see an employee lying down asleep behind the partition. When I finally ordered, the staff looked at me like I was a huge inconvenience. I ordered a chicken wrap and fries and clearly said it was for dine-in, but they still handed everything to me in a bag. It felt like they didn't want me to stay. I ended up eating off the paper bag because I wasn't given a tray or plate. The worst part: I found a piece of metal wire in my fries. That's a serious food safety issue and could have really hurt someone. Between the attitude, the employee sleeping on shift, and metal in the food, I won't be coming back.

    Christina's food is amazing and authentic !! We love getting takeout here. They are fast and super nice. The portions are great as well.

    Chicken gyro and lemon potatoes, hummus and pita

    Kristina was an absolute doll! She was the sweetest ever and took amazing care of me and my boyfriend tonight. The food was so amazing we had the best hummus and pita, chicken gyro with lemon potatoes, gyro platter and the delicious Greek doughnuts and home cooked brownies. Extremely clean and authentic greek atmosphere. The food would 100% make us come back because it was so delicious, but if the food was bad, we would come back just to see Kristina. We love her! AMAZING service and food!!!

    With all the good reviews, I was hoping to really enjoy this place. Unfortunately that was not my experience. I had been craving Greek food when I found this restaurant on GrubHub. It seems the stars aligned. I ordered the shrimp pita, the Greek fries, and baklava. Delivery Packaging: The packaging was nice. They use regular bags but ensure to staple them shut. I appreciate this with delivery The food: The Greek fries were very good. Crispy and flavorful on the outside and soft on the inside. I also I enjoyed their tzatziki sauce. Unfortunately they forgot to pack the baklava so I was unable to Try that. Now onto the not so good... overall the shrimp pita needs some rework. Typically medium to large shrimp are used in a Greek shrimp pita, however small shrimp were used in this one. Small shrimp are difficult cook to the right temperature and using smaller shrimp makes it difficult to taste against the rest of the ingredients (lettuce, onion, tomato). The shrimp were inedible, overcooked and rubbery, but the pita itself was delicious. I ended up taking out all the shrimp and added my own baked fish to the pita. Overall was not an enjoyable experience.

    Visiting from Boston. Stumbled across this gem in a cozy strip mall. We stopped in for dinner. Gyro sandwich, rice pilaf, chicken dinner platter, Greek salads were all delicious! Friendly service.

    Really happy to have found this place! My family loved our gyros. Soft fresh bread piled high with the best lamb gyro meat I've had in a long time. You could definitely tell that everything was homemade and well seasoned. We were also surprised by how good the fries were and they were dusted with really yummy Greek herbs. The atmosphere was lovely and we enjoyed the mural across the walls. We got to speak with the owner who was very kind and made the experience fun for us with music. Can't wait to go back next time we're in the area.

    I was in the area and was recommended this spot from a local. Beautiful authentic Greek spot with amazing service workers and delicious foods. The restaurant is decked with all things Greek, very cute. Ordered a chicken kebab platter and chicken platter both were so filling and cooked perfectly. Lots of local folks ordering so it is definitely a community gem. Will be stopping in again when in the Fort Lauderdale area.

The first thing we noticed, which was a bit unexpected, was the decor. The ambiance was really nice and inviting. This is the type of restaurant where someone could host a party. The service was really good too. We received water almost immediately after being seated, and our server came by shortly after. The manager stopped by throughout our visit to provide recommendations, and he was really nice. It made the experience feel more personal. For our appetizer, we ordered the Baba Ghannouj, which complemented the pita bread really well. It was our first time having it, and we did not know what to expect, but it was great. It was really flavorful, and we finished it wanting more. For our entrees, we had the Lamb Chops and the Seafood Tagine. The lamb chops were great. It was not a huge portion, but the meat was flavorful and cooked well. The presentation was also really nice. The Seafood Tagine looked great, and the sauce was incredibly flavorful. Everything about the dish worked well together, and we felt that all the flavors complemented one another. There was a good harmony between the ingredients. For dessert, we ordered the Kunafa, which was another first for us. We had never had it before, but the description really sold us on it. It was really good. This is the kind of dessert that is best shared since it is a little heavy. Toward the end of our visit, a belly dancer came out to perform, and it was really exciting. La Vie is a great restaurant, and we will definitely return. We felt as though we got a true Mediterranean experience during our visit.

The cheese bulak was good but might be a little off putting if your not use to mintiness in your cheese. A belly dancer came out and went around to all the tables and really engaged with everyone. For our entrees we got chicken tagine and lamb chops. I must say the lamb chops were phenomenal. Perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection. I definitely recommend getting them medium. All in all if you're looking for something different definitely go check it out!

    I first came to Feta Republic on a close friend's recommendation to try their lamb chops, and I'm…read moreso glad I did. This was also my first time meeting one of the owners, Nonda, who warmly greeted me when I arrived. The restaurant was extremely busy, so my expectations were high, and somehow they still exceeded them. I asked for recommendations and started with the octopus. I normally never order octopus, but this completely changed my mind. It was bursting with flavor and served in a rich, herb-filled sauce that was so good I ordered pita bread just to soak up every last bite. Then came the lamb chops, which honestly were the best lamb chops I've ever had. Easily a 10/10. They were seasoned perfectly, tender, flavorful, and unforgettable. I kept thinking about them all night after dinner. The next day, I came back with a friend because I wanted to see if the food was truly that good or if they had just had an exceptional night. Once again, they delivered. We shared the octopus and my friend, who also doesn't usually like octopus, absolutely loved it. We also ordered the hummus with warm flatbread and a chicken skewer, both of which were delicious and perfectly seasoned. Of course, we both ordered the lamb chops again, and once again they did not miss. Also, I don't know what they do to make the lemon herb potatoes, but they are simply mouth watering and delicious. Feta Republic has officially become one of my favorite restaurants because the food is healthy, flavorful, fresh, and most importantly, consistent. That consistency matters. I definitely recommend this place and will absolutely be back again.

I asked the waiter if he could turn down the tennis match on TV and he said no I'm watching it. I told him it was disturbing me. He said well nobody else is complaining about it last time I go there food was OK. Steak was a little tough but tasty. don't bother going there. There are plenty other Greek restaurants that appreciate your business. I brought one of my girlfriends and I was I was really embarrassed and she hated it as well.

Food: Staff: Ambiance: Cleanliness: Ok so it was three for lunch today: My friends each got the gyro plate with french fries and I got the grilled chicken pita with french fries.... They raved about their gyros which were the traditional beef and lamb off the spinning spit. They both enjoyed their food and said it was very tasty with the cucumber sauce on it and in a toasted pita and the fries were perfectly hot and crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. They had baklava for desert and they enjoyed it but it was on the too sweet side my friend said but had the flavors it's supposed to. Mine was and is a bit difficult to rate as I felt the chicken was undercooked and felt gummy, it was lacking the Greek chicken flavor, had cucumber sauce and on a toasted pita but it came with fries and they were made just right. Hot and crunchy on outside fluffy on inside and salted perfectly. As for the staff, the lady who took my order was very nice and she read my order back to me that why I felt like the kitchen staff didn't like following orders or misread mine, cause I asked her to make my chicken well done no pink anywhere but that's not the way I got it. As for the place, it has a nice little ambience and the restroom was extremely clean, and you see waitstaff going around and cleaning as people get up to leave. So that's a plus but as for my meal, it was not very good to me.... So I have to give it what I feel is a fair rating considering my meal wasn't great, but theirs was. As I always say "check it out for yourself and decide". Be safe. Peace out.

    Theo's Estiatorio has officially become one of those restaurants I will go out of my way for. I've…read moredriven 40 minutes when I'm living locally, and even when I'm traveling back to South Florida from Atlanta, Theo's is still on my list of places I want to eat. I've been several times now. I've brought my son Christopher, who loved it, and most recently I brought my girlfriend for a romantic date night. She had never been, so naturally I had to introduce her to one of my favorites. What I appreciate most about Theo's is consistency. There are few things more disappointing than falling in love with a restaurant, going back, and discovering that the experience depends on the day. That has NEVER been my experience here. Every single time I have visited Theo's, the food has been beautifully prepared, the service has been exceptional, and the experience has felt worth every penny. And the food... The Greek salad is ridiculously good for something so simple. That is actually one of the things I love about Theo's. Nothing has to be overly complicated to be exceptional. There is obvious attention to the ingredients, presentation, seasoning and execution. The Linguine Santorini is another favorite. Again, simple, elegant and perfectly executed. The lamb chops? Amazing. The vegetables? Amazing. The potatoes? Amazing. The octopus? Excellent. But listen... THE BRUSSELS SPROUTS. Y'all. Those Brussels sprouts might be the best Brussels sprouts I have ever eaten in my entire life. They steal the show every single time. I don't care what else you order, get the Brussels sprouts. What takes Theo's beyond simply having great food is the hospitality. The service is consistently attentive, polished and warm without feeling intrusive. And one of my absolute favorite touches: if you get cold during dinner, they have clean shawls available for guests to drape over their shoulders. As someone who is ALWAYS cold in restaurants, I cannot adequately explain how much I appreciate this. I can dress for dinner without spending the entire meal freezing. It's thoughtful. And those little details matter. Theo's is beautiful enough for a romantic date night, impressive enough for a celebration, and comfortable enough that I've also enjoyed bringing my son. I genuinely cannot remember having anything here that I didn't enjoy. If you have been looking at Theo's and wondering whether you should try it, GO. Order the Greek salad. Try the octopus. Get the lamb chops. Get the potatoes. And whatever else you do... GET. THE. BRUSSELS. SPROUTS. Food: Service: Atmosphere: Consistency: Brussels sprouts: Theo's is easily a 20/10, 1,000/10 experience for me and absolutely worth every penny. I'll be back. Obviously.

My friends first brought me to Theos Estiatorio and we've since returned with more friends several times, once 3 times in a month. So yes, we all think it is excellent. Excellence from the moment we entered and were greeted by the hostesses. The decor and ambiance remind me of the upscale vibe of Mykonos and Santorini Greek islands. The service has been impeccable whether we are seated at tables inside, outside, or sitting at the bar. The staff were on their toes, friendly and always ready to assist even with a full house (and it has been a full house every dinner we've come here...trying to get reservations is the only part of visits we don't like). We've tasted a number of their signature cocktails. Our favorites include the Limoncello Martini, Spicy Margarita, Pear Sour and especially the Santorini Sunset (watermelon & basil vodka). You can't really go wrong with any of the selections. The wine list is also varied and superb. The menu is huge. Meze / Appetizers we go back for include the Fried Calamari, Grilled Mushrooms, Sardines Portuguese, Grilled Octopus. Don't forget Theo's Chips which are unique eggplant and zucchini! So tasty. While there are a number of delicious entrees such as Lamb Chops and Organic Grilled Chicken, the standout for us is the Whole Lavraki / Branzino. We order a large 2 pounder for 2 people. It is consistently, perfectly grilled and deboned, flaky and moist. We can't seem to forgo ordering this every time! Prices are on the higher side, but the quality of food and service, and gorgeous ambiance justify us coming back again and again.
