    Mussels citrus ouzo
    Keturah M.

    VERY disappointed with my visit to this VAS Kouzina location. The ambiance, staff, and location were all fine, my issue was the food. I ordered the Mussels citrus ouzo and was served mussels that were not opened and if you didn't know, unopened mussels are unsafe to eat, as they were dead before they were cooked. So, I alerted the wait staff and was told that this wasn't their norm and that they would only charge me for part of the meal (since I ate a few of the opened ones before noticing all of the closed ones)... but really!? You serve me poor quality and hazardous food AND you still charge me?!? That speaks volumes to me and is a sign to keep searching for an authentic Greek spot.

    A fantastic Greek food eatery that is in a wonderful location. Our friends invited us to this location for a lunch time get together. I personally love Greek food so I was excited to try this out. The place has a very nice feel to it... the inside is sharply decorated and the vibe is modern Greek all the way. There is a covered small patio that is nice on a good weather day as well. Our waiter was out standing.. busy but attentive for sure... always around to answer a question or fill up a water glass. He was very kind, engaging, and served us very well. As an appetizer we ordered the saganaki (a cheese dish that they set on fire right at the table) and the octopus. Both were outstanding! The octopus was very tender, you could cut it with a fork, and it had a fantastic lemony flavor. Truly one of the highlights of our meal. The kids loved the flaming cheese... especially the flaming part. I love gyros so I ordered the gyro plate with Greek fries. My wife had the risotto. My gyro was stuffed full of meat and the Tzatziki sauce was mind blowingly good! I got to try my wife's scallop risotto and it was outstanding as well. It was full of flavor and richness. Our friends ordered the red snapper which when served is whole and then they debone it right there at the table. It is a site to behold. I got a little taste of the snapper and man it was delicious. This is a great spot right in downtown Alpharetta that you just have to try! I was very happy with our experience and can't wait to come again!

    H and I ventured up to Alpharetta because we had heard of this beautiful Greek restaurant. We grew up in a town where many of our friends' parents were chefs/owners of Greek restaurants so we're pretty familiar with Greek cuisine. It really is lovely inside and the service was friendly and attentive. We were only there for lunch so we didn't try their whole fish preparation, but will definitely order that when we visit for dinner. The entire menu is available at lunchtime so you can go lighter with salads or heavier with the Greek specialties. I always order the lemon chicken soup when trying a new Greek place and this did not disappoint. The portion is huge so ask them to split it for you. Creamy, lemony, with nice chunks of chicken meat. Perfect IMO. H ordered the gyro and fries and really enjoyed his meal. The gyro meat was so good . . . Tender, juicy, and so flavorful. I ordered their pastitsio and it was some of the best I've ever had. The bechamel was deliciously creamy and the beefy pasta was tasty. The tomato sauce was especially good. I highly recommend this dish! If you're craving your favorite Greek dishes like moussaka or something more elevated like a whole fish, deboned table side, you'll enjoy this lovely restaurant.

    I love Greek food as it takes me back to my time in Mykonos and Santorini. Vas Kouzina is a traditional Greek restaurant with all of the authentic dishes offered. My girlfriend and I went out for a Friday night dinner and were promptly seated upon arrival. They offer indoor and covered outdoor seating but we opted for indoor since it was wet and rainy weather. Our waiter was very friendly and offered good service. We started with the ouzo lemon drop cocktail and they were strong and very lemony! Definitely recommend it. My friend had the traditional Greek moussaka which is like a lasagna and I had the beef and lamb gyro. It was delicious but came with the smallest serving of tzatziki sauce so I asked for extra and it was $2 lol. Our waiter also offered us carrots and celery? while we wait and I thought it was complimentary but they charged for that too lol. I'm not a fan of the nickel and dime practice so deducted a star for that. The cheesecake baklava for dessert was very rich and sweet, enjoyed it a lot. Perfect size for sharing.

    Went back to VAS Alpharetta. The food was ok but certain dishes are honestly a bit overpriced. The not so jumbo Shrimp Saganaki is $28!! It has to make sense. The octopus this time was not as good and tender. The gyro plate should have had more meat. Service was ok, so were the ambience and the drinks. Based on this last experience I don't know if I would go back. I feel that they still do a better job at the Roswell location.

    Baklava cheesecake

    This is a great Greek restaurant that took over the space previously used by My Stir Fry. We came in for a Friday lunch, and tried a bunch of different items. The trio dip appetizer was really good, and much bigger than it looks in person. I would definitely get the spicy feta and hummus again (didn't love their version of eggplant dip). I have to rave about their pita points. Normally, I just expect cut up pita bread at Greek restaurants, but they cook theirs in spices and olive oil. You could just eat them by themselves and still enjoy them. The fried goat cheese was very tasty, as well as the lamb souvlaki and Greek orzo. The baklava cheesecake was just okay- it was pretty cold, so they likely had just taken it out of the freezer. It's slightly on the pricey side for lunch (there is no separate lunch menu). But overall, this is a nice addition to the downtown Alpharetta scene.

    This place is reliably good. Been twice - nice waiter both times. Healthy food options. Lots of options for vegetarians. Everything tastes fresh and good. Especially loved the split pea dip and eggplant dip with the pita. Baklava cheesecake it also great. Tell them if you are going for a birthday, they might do a free simple dessert/candle situation.

    Squid Ink Linguine

    I had the Squid Ink Linguine and it was phenomenal. Pretty small portion but well worth it. Also had the hummus, delicious. Our server was very good and the atmosphere feels like Greece. Great food, great service, ambiance!

    Chicken Gyro
    Jon B.

    This place was absolute fire!!! We got a couple of gyros and some hummus. No lie best Gyros, I have ever had. The chicken was so tender that melted in your mouth, pita was nice and flavorful and the ingredients super fresh. We had the humus too which was the best! Do not hesitate to come to this spot while in the Atlanta area.

    I have been searching for a place that serves moussaka and pastitsio and found both at Vas Kouzina! We arrived for an early Saturday dinner and was seated promptly; the hosts and server were both very nice. Since it was our first time going the server explained the menu to us and was very patient as we took our time looking over the menu. For our starter, we got the trio of dips. My husband ordered the gyro for his entree and I ordered the pastitsio. Spread/Pikilia - we picked three spreads for $15.99. We tried the melitsanosalata (eggplant spread), tirokafteri (spicy feta spread), and skordalia (garlic spread). If you order a single serving of spread, it comes with one pita cut into points but if you order the trio it comes with more than just one (I think three). We loved the eggplant spread and will be ordering a double serving of it next time we go!! It was light, herby, and a nice contrast when paired with the warm toasty pita. The spicy feta is a mild spice and our second favorite. The garlic spread good and worth trying if you love garlic and potatoes. Gyro (traditional shaved lamb and beef): he thoroughly enjoyed this! I had a good amount of tzatziki sauce and veggies in it and the pita was soft. Note: this does not come with a side so you would have to order that separately. Pastitsio: lived up to my dreams of trying this dish! The meat sauce was well balanced - not acidic and not too sweet. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the portion size was enough for me to take some home for lunch the next day! We left Vas Kouzina already planning what we would order next time we go! I definitely recommend trying this place out if you're in Alpharetta (they also have a Roswell location if that's more convenient for you but we prefer this location because the parking situation is easier/better).

    Moussaka $15.99

    I can be your gyro, baby! Oh my oh my - the food at Vas Kouzina will make you want to throw your dishes on the floor and yell OPA! Just make sure the plates are empty first because you will not want to waste a single drop of this food! Greek cuisine is one of my absolute favorites - if not my favorite - and the food at Vas is top notch. We always passed the location in Roswell, but it is not until this baby opened up in Alpharetta that we stopped by. Traditional downtown Alpharetta parking rules apply so plan accordingly. The space is beautiful with ocean decor and hues of blue everywhere. We placed a large takeout order and sat on the comfy bench by the entrance as we waited. The smells were captivating! The food was actually so good we returned within a week or so for round 2! We ordered the following: Tzatziki $7.49 Keftedes $8.49 Grilled Octopus $16.99 Spanakopita $9.99 Grilled Vegetables $9.99 Pastitsio $13.99 Moussaka $15.99 Classic Gyro $11.29 Baklava $8 The gyro was out of this world flavorful and juicy. The gyro here resembles more of slices of meatloaf, than it does the slices of gyro from the rotisserie. I was skeptical at first glance, but one bite and I was in heaven. Gyro meat piled high and all the fixin's. Speaking of fixin's - the tzatziki at Vas is the best I've been able to get at a restaurant. Vas is not afraid to pack in the garlic which is just how we like it. Some places season it so mildly it just tastes of yogurt - not at Vas. It is intoxicating. We always order extra - it is a non-negotiable for us when we order here. It is great on everything, even just your fingers! The spanakopita is another of our favorites - super flaky and moist and really delicious. Obviously dunk it in the tzatziki. The moussaka and pastitsio both warm your soul in the most delicious way. Everything we ordered was really quite satisfying! See I got so excited I ALMOST forgot to share about the octopus. Please, do yourself a favor and order enough so you don't have to share. Chargrilled taste, perfect amount of acid, phenomenal cook. This octopus is perfect. My only complaint is that one order doesn't come with all 8 tentacles. It is a pricey addiction I have with this dish, but one I am sure I will never stop ordering. You really cannot go wrong with anything your order at Vas. My order has consistently been correct, fresh, and oh so flavorful. We now live closer to the Roswell location - and I know we will try it out very soon for another dose of our Greek paradise right from our home in GA!

As we pulled in front of the restaurant, I was very impressed by the modern exterior - very nice! Parking is a breeze - you can valet or self-park in the back of the restaurant. We had reservations but arrived a little early and had to wait about 5-10 minutes to be seated - not a huge deal for a busy Saturday night. Once we got to our table, we had an amazing experience.

Our first course was the seafood tower, which I was able to customize with more shrimp since I'm allergic to oysters. Second, we had the lobster bisque and the burrata & beet salad. Both were divine! For the main course, I had the scallops while my husband had the filet medallions Oscar style, which comes with asparagus. We also ordered two additional sides for sharing - the crab fried rice and truffle mac. You honestly can't go wrong with either dish! We loved our meal but my husband wasn't crazy about the steak. We let our server know and the restaurant accommodated us accordingly. The service here is top notch and we cannot wait to dine here in the near future.

They have house made focaccia that when brought to the table we instantly regretted having ordered the bruschetta, thinking we overdid the bread thing.

The weakest link was the mashed potatoes, served in two round scoops reminiscent of school cafeteria lines. Other than the shape, there was nothing memorable nor particularly flavorful about them.

The vibe here was buzzing on a Friday evening which seemed promising. We opted to sit at the bar which I do NOT recommend if you plan on eating. It is extremely tight seating and the bartenders aren't not trained to serve food or have menu knowledge. The lack of the kitchen staff culinary skills became evident when looking at the menu with many seafood/pasta items being served with one sauce- a goopy cornstarch'ish lemon butter sauce. We wanted to try the scampi appetizer with their house made pasta - sans dairy which meant no lemon butter sauce. That seemed to throw a wrench and there was much back and forth between the BT to the kitchen explaining what that meant aka do not cook the food with butter use olive oil- not so complicated, right? 30 minutes later - despite the kitchen staff not being busy- reminder, we are sitting at the bar and watch the cooks looking at their cellphones instead of working... The small portion of a couple shrimp and scallops arrive. They were panned seared- highly seasoned but tasty. Pasta arrived dry ? Huh? Who serves dry pasta- ugh? I asked for olive oil again which never appeared despite a manager hearing the request. So, moving along, we decided to try the calamari. It came out much faster but the portion was enough for 8-10 people. BT- oh, I forgot to tell you it is such a large portion... Maybe offer a half portion? It was okay- nothing amazing except the quantity. So disappointed- we had high hopes that the vibe matched the food quality.

We started off with the Louisiana spring rolls, Cajun crab dip, and a jumbo lump crab cake. The crab dip was really good, and honestly, all of the appetizers were excellent. For the main course, we had the Parmesan-crusted salmon, jumbo stuffed shrimp with crab, branzino, and blackened redfish. Everything was cooked to perfection, and everybody really enjoyed their dishes. The service started off a little slow, probably because we were waiting on one of our party members, but once things got going, we had impeccable service for the rest of the evening. Shout-out to Jason for taking great care of us! The mixed drinks were really good too. A couple had a little more ice than I would have preferred, but hey, it's summertime in Atlanta, so maybe that wasn't such a bad thing! Parking can be a little challenging. There is a garage on the side of the building, but I believe it's primarily for the apartment complex. We parked there and didn't get a ticket, but street parking was definitely a little difficult. All in all, we had a really good evening. The prices were reasonable, and they even offer a military discount, which definitely made the experience even better. If you're in Atlanta and don't mind taking a drive up to Alpharetta, I definitely recommend giving Coalition Steak & Seafood a try. Good food, good drinks, great service, and a great overall experience!

Unfortunately, this visit was the complete opposite. We were seated near the kitchen, which wasn't a problem. The restaurant had a soccer game on the TV, but it was quiet and there was no indication anything unusual was about to happen. Without warning, a group of approximately eight staff members gathered just a few feet from our table and erupted into an extremely loud celebration, screaming at the top of their lungs as if they were in a sports bar. The outburst startled us so badly that it literally sent my husband into atrial fibrillation (AFib). He was visibly shaken and extremely upset, and we were prepared to leave immediately. Our waiter could clearly see how distressed we were. Since we had already ordered the lobster bites appetizer, he kindly offered to move us to another table. We appreciated his effort and accepted. We finished the appetizer, but by then the evening was ruined, so we left and had dinner elsewhere. What disappointed us most was the complete lack of management involvement. Our waiter knew exactly what had happened and how upset we were, yet not once did a manager come to our table to apologize, ask if my husband was okay, or acknowledge that the staff's behavior was completely inappropriate for a fine dining restaurant. This wasn't about cheering for a game--it was about professionalism. Guests who choose a steakhouse expect a calm, enjoyable atmosphere, not to be startled by employees screaming just feet away from their table. We have always enjoyed Coalition, which makes this experience even more disappointing. I hope management addresses this with their staff so no other guests have their evening ruined the way ours was. We will not be back. Later Added: I just found out the Manager was one of the ones screaming. Pathetic! We went to PappaDeauxs which was half the price and honestly better food & calm atmosphere! Not a sports bar!

When you walk in, you order at the counter, they give you a number, and they bring your food to you. When they are super busy on weekends or event nights, the food can take up to 45 minutes. When you are in the restaurant, it truly feels like you are at the beach based on the ambiance. I always get the Cabo taco with fried chicken and my boyfriend always mixes it up between fried shrimp and the fried fish sandwich. For drinks I always get the Frozè and it's so refreshing! We highly recommend this place. They opened a new location on the beltline about a year ago and I believe they took their Alpharetta manager with them - we miss her because the service was great with her. Overall 5/5 stars and a great place to take your family!

My order was ready for pick-up in 15-19 minutes. It was ready on-time. I added on a side of the black beans with yellow rice which was excellent. I order all flats. Everything about the flavor, the grilled texture, and the tenderness of these wings is spectacular. They are some of the best I've had, and I love wings. Get these when you go!
