    We've heard a lot of great things about Tony's Taverna and we were so excited to try it out for ourselves. We made a same-day reservation and showed up for dinner on a Sunday evening. The hostess was charming and kind. We were seated in the patio, the first guest of the evening shift. The waiter did take a little while to greet us. Once greeted, he was kind and professional. We ordered an appetizer and then he never returned until he delivered our entrées. He also didn't return again until we were done with our meal. We wanted water refills and bread refills. We had further questions and he was nowhere to be found. We started with the Grilled Spanish Octopus which was so refreshing. Will definitely order that again. My husband had the Branzino and the rice was overly al dente like way too al dente. We waited for the waiter to come back so we can discuss the rice but again he left us a bit stranded. The food got cold as we waited and waited to flag down the waiter but he was no where to be found. My husband reluctantly ate the cold hard rice. I had the salmon gnocchi. It was good but extremely heavy. The baklava was a nice size and was delicious. Once the waiter arrived with the bill we shared our food experience with him and he said he'd notify the kitchen but that was it. No service. He didn't even try to make it right. Just a bit disappointing. I can only give 3 stars as the service was lacking and the rice was sadly a miss! The bill was $147 and I wished we could say it was worth it.

    We were on our way to Sequoia National Park and honestly weren't expecting much when it came to food in the area... but Tony's Taverna completely surprised us. This place is such a gem. The vibe is amazing--live music, relaxed but lively atmosphere, and it works perfectly for both lunch or dinner. It's a Mediterranean spot inspired by the flavors of Cyprus, and you can really taste that authenticity in the food. We actually met the chef, and it made the experience even better knowing the care and background behind the menu. Everything felt fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully made--definitely not your typical "tourist area" food. Parking was super easy (which matters a lot on those winding roads), and the location is perfect if you're heading in or out of the park. Inside, it's cozy and comfortable with a homey feel. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Honestly, don't overthink it--if you're in the area, just go here. We'd 100% come back.

    We came here during a trip to Sequoia and it was the best meal we had on the trip. There was a long wait on a weekend even though we got there around 4:30pm and there was a lot of open seating. We also had to wait a while for service and to get our food. Not sure if they were understaffed but the food made up for it and they were also friendly. The branzino was my favorite - it had a smoky flavor to it and no bones. It complimented the rice nicely and we subbed the veggies for fries. The fries were huge and delicious! The place is new/remodeled and had plenty of seating inside. There was also an outdoor covered area with live music playing and sports on the tvs. Would come back on the next trip and make a reservation to hopefully help with the wait or get take out.

    Pretty atmosphere, patio seating available, live relaxing music, friendly service, and fantastic appetizers! We had the spicy feta and Halloumi (pictured). Both were delicious!

    Here's a pic of one of the orders they charged us for (the correct one). That orange cake thing was good though.

    My husband and I visited this establishment last weekend as we were staying in Three Rivers to visit the national parks. We dropped in on Friday around 8pm just for a coffee and dessert but once we were seated, we were not provided any menus nor were we checked on or greeted by a waitress for about 30 minutes. Once we finally ordered our dessert, we noticed others seated around us were also waiting for an absurd amount of time to get attended. We even saw a couple of small parties leave due to the lengthy wait. The restaurant was not even that busy so I'm not sure what the issue was there. The hostess at the front was also proving to be unhelpful during this time as she was just standing there ignoring the calls from the nearby tables requesting a waitress, check, and even a box! Wow, talk about "it's not in my job description"! After we received our check around 9:30pm, my husband paid with his credit card that we also didn't see again for another 15 minutes and once we finally got out of there and after a few days later, he realized that Tony's not only charged for our $27 bill but someone else's $100+ bill. We were already home at this point so all he could do was call his credit card company and Tony's to get the $100+ charge refunded. After speaking to manager Derek, the issue has still not been resolved. Apparently neither of those charges could be "found in their system". We still also have not received a call back from this manager as he stated he would do as of two days ago. That call back would still be nice. C'mon Tony's. Do better, please.

    Free bread? I'll take it.

    Everything here was great. I came in after a long day and hike in sequoia park. And this food hit the spot.. Cheese was great paired with the jam. Insane combo. And the lamb. I pulled the bone it. It's tender. And flavorful. Mixed in with the mash potatoes, and some of that sauce on it. Amazing. If you live in the area or want to eat real good after a long day in the park, come here

    The ambiance is nice. Nicely designed establishment. The wait staff is very knowledgeable given the fact they are mostly young. All in all the place is perfect. We had some time and thought we would give them a try. I'm a huge fan of Mediterranean food so I was very excited. We were kind of shocked they only served beer and wine and not a full bar selection. Food wise we went with a gyro with fries and were both disappointed. The bread itself tasted very fresh and pillowy, but the meat tasted old and lacked flavor or even enough sauce to overcome the lack of flavor. The fries were crispy and tasted quite amazing. Very disappointed in that regard, expected more. Maybe it was just our table and meal, because many other customers seem to have been enjoying all their meals.

    Brand new, soft opening while restaurant and staff operation sort things out. Still very rough around the edges Wine menu- Better selection than the restaurants at Three Rivers. Quality wineries suitable for this establishment aspirations. Beer menu. Have more than 15 on tap plus bottled choices. Great for weekend guys outing Bathroom one have handicap access both are gender neutral. Smartly decorated with mediterranean blue tiling accent. Clean Outdoor covered patio - is the star attraction. Their indoor spaces sparse yet cozy for winter nights. Food presentation executed well. Chicken Caprese tender and juicy that explodes flavor. Well done. Will be checking out their other Greek fare like Spanakopita. I like a good dining venue that have good wine options that make my dining experience exceptional Pricing- On the upscale side of budget friendly, basically par for the local area. Parking is the tough part. It has space for about 7-9 cars. Street parking is very haphazard after that. I know this place is going to be popular. This will play a bigger part of the in-demand dining experience. Scored 4 star, as the crew refined their workflow and determined their roles.

    Perfect spot for a mid week lunch. My server Ezekiel was very kind and checked on my table…read moreconstantly. Great service! Chicken shawarma wrap: perfectly cooked chicken, the pickles and onions evivated this meal. Highly recommend ordering all the fixings! Dolmas + tatiziki Fries were cute. Great portion! Maybe order just 1 if sharing. Will definitely come back!

    Review: A Triumphant Return to Pita Kabob…read more Rating: It had been about five years since my last visit to Pita Kabob, and I'm happy to report that it remains one of the best spots in town. From the moment we walked through the door, the service was seamless; we were greeted immediately and seated within just a few minutes. The Vibe & Menu The menu strikes a great balance--large enough to offer a deep variety of Mediterranean dishes and libations without being overwhelming. We noticed a fantastic selection of drinks and settled on a few ciders, which have been our go-to lately. They were the perfect crisp pairing for the meal ahead. The Main Event: Mediterranean Pitas We decided to stick with the classics and ordered the Mediterranean Pitas: * Lamb Pita: Rich, savory, and perfectly seasoned. * Filet Mignon Pita: Incredibly tender and high-quality protein. Each pita was packed with flavor and offered that satisfying "fresh and crisp" crunch in every bite. The portions were spot on--filling enough to satisfy but leaving just enough room for a side. Don't Skip the Fries We couldn't leave without sharing an order of their fries. If you haven't had them, they are an absolute essential for the table. Final Verdict Five years is a long time to be away, but Pita Kabob hasn't missed a beat. Between the efficient service, the flavorful entrees, and the great drink selection, it was an amazing experience. We won't be waiting another five years to come back!
