Upon walking in, I noticed the decor and it was very inviting. Now to the important part...the food. Like I mentioned earlier it was lunch time so we ordered the Greek salad with the feta and the eggplant sandwich. Having been to Greece, we can say the food was pretty authentic. Lots of vegetarian options which were good for my husband. Will visit again for dinner.

This restaurant had it all: the decor, the ambiance, the nostalgic Greek memorabilia, the authentic accents and the genuine, impeccable food. We loved it so much that we came back the following day and believe me, had we lived closer, this place would become a favorite lunch stop. The service is friendly and attentive. Highly recommend and will be back!

Their menu has various main dishes and appetizers. We liked what we ordered (vegetarian moussaka [$25] and steak pita with fries [$11+] inside) but the plate felt incomplete because they came with nothing on the side - no salad or complimentary pita/hummus. Our server was ok (not overly friendly or interested) but warmth did exude from some of the other staff who bussed our plates. It's a good location for a bite before a show but given all the options in the city, the search continues for a favorite Greek spot.

They're able to check your coat at the front and then they walk you to your table and it's very dimly lit and candle lit. We got a bunch of the appetizers to share - the pita bread is quite good and soft. Most things are a decent size considering the price but again, I think it's meant to be a mid tier dress up or dress down place and it's priced as such. My entree was the lobster Nero pasta - decent but I really like more of a saltier pasta considering it's squid ink. It's good but not my favorite in the world haha. They have a good amount of dessert options that my coworker liked - I personally would come back for work but not for personal.

The grilled octopus, lamb chops, baked salmon and walnut cake - food was magnificent. This was the highlight of our trip here. What I cannot accept and ignore was the fact my request to have a surprise birthday dessert on my reservation was completely overlooked. I've made a verbatim note to include a surprise dessert because I'll have a birthday guest that stated exactly whom it's for. We were even greeted by the host who the birthday person was, and I've introduced him right before we were being seated. We even sat next to a table that got a surprise dish for a birthday celebration, so you can imagine my anticipation when mine would come. While we were dining, our servers did get switched out to a new person in between. The moment the check came out, I thought this was a mistake but the new server just placed it flat out in front of us. Once I privately made a payment to the new server, I did tell her the day was for a birthday celebration. She remarked she didn't know and informed me I should've said something. Granted I did state it on my reservation and for some strange reason the communication was missed between the staff or there was no consideration to follow through with my request at all. I don't know if there's an underlying reason why this happened or if it's because we didn't meet the criteria as customers to receive their full hospitality. This is coming from someone who's worked in hospitality in business services before and this oversight would not be taken lightly where I'm from. Overall the food saved the day, venue was gorgeous. But my hesitations now lie in this level of service I received and the amount of money spent with this outcome. Once is enough and I've seen enough to raise my skepticism of this place.

We requested a table outdoors, but it wasn't the most comfortable seating or the nicest ambiance. Between the three of us, we split an eggplant dip with pita, a greek salad, zucchini chips, and oven roasted chicken. It ended up coming out to be roughly $25 per person after tip and tax. I had high expectations for this spot, but am sad to say it didn't live up to them. I wasn't a big fan of the dip. It had an odd kick to it, and the pita felt slightly stale. The flavors in the chicken dish were food, and I liked the potatoes in it. The chicken wasn't cooked to my preference however. I enjoyed the zucchini chips and the greek salad, but they weren't super memorable.

The mussels were tender and served in a delicious, flavorful broth. The moussaka was rich, creamy, and clearly homemade. The grilled tsipura was incredibly fresh, cooked perfectly, and simply seasoned to let the quality of the fish shine.

If you're looking for authentic Greek cuisine made with care, this place is definitely worth visiting. We'll definitely be back!

Busy for Monday evening. Felt like I stepped into Greece…read more I started with the complimentary bread, it was good. The crust was a little hard but I liked the fresh spread, I would recommend adding some olive oil, salt and pepper for more flavor. I got the traditional Greek salad. The salad was good. I love the tomatoes they tasted fresh. Though found myself wanting to add more salt and pepper for more flavor to pop. The dressing was good for dipping the bread in too. The octopus was delicious. Very fresh. Good portion. It was seared perfectly. I love how it was cut for me too, nice and tender. Not too chewy. The dill and capers were a nice touch. Seems the staff remember familiar faces, very friendly and all Greek. Altogether it was $64 which I find very pricey. The octopus was priced at $31 which wasn't bad. But the salad being $28 seems extreme. Overall a nice experience. Bit of a wait for the food

His wife had a good sized bowl of lentil soup, and an order of hummus that was served with lots of fresh pita triangles. My husband and I shared 3 dishes, one as yummy as the other: grilled halloumi, grilled vegetables platter, and gigante beans in a lovely tomato dill sauce. A plate of pita and crumbled feta was served for sharing, I think, or maybe for the orzo/seafood dish - but we all shared. For dessert, a slice of fantastic, freshly baked baklava was shared among us. Just a taste of sweet to perfectly cap off a good meal!
