We ate here last night…2-22-24. Everything was fabulous! Food, service, atmosphere and the classy yet comfortable vibe! Cannot give this place higher score! Leah was our server and she was amazing! Benjamin assisted and he is one of the kindest, hard-working people you will ever meet! Gracias Benjamin!!!!
I went there with a friend a few days ago and ordered a couple of items. We had the citrus salad which was the seasonal special, and that was the highlight of the meal. The Brussel sprouts and meatballs were good but not standout, and the grilled octopus was bitter for some reason. Separately, the server was not friendly and had a pompous attitude about him, barely addressing me directly as he took my order. For the price point, I found the place quite overrated and would not recommend it.
January 2024:
Dropped by early on a Sunday at 530pm in hopes of getting seated. I was very surprised that the place was packed at that time. Fortunately we got a table that we could only keep for 90 minutes.
Instead of eating big (always love 💕 whole fish at places that offer whole fish), we ordered a bunch of starters: fried smelt, big beans in tomato sauce, grilled octopus 🐙, and brussel sprouts with bacon.
Everything was very tasty 😋. Service was very attentive. Would definitely come back again for some delicious food.

Amazing food, fantastic service, an overall delicious and beautiful night with friends. We had tons of small plates, all of which were delicious, and I was so stuffed by then that I had the Kokkari salad and it was perfect. Made room for dessert and no regrets!
Generous portions and amazing food. We got a special that was not on the menu: a Goose dish that was delicious.
Service is top notch and food comes fast.

Great Greek food, though I will say, it seemed a bit averagely cooked if that is a word. The apatizers were good, but not outstanding. The chicken was a little dry, but the steak we juicy and flavorful. The service was superb and the atmosphere was warm and pleasant. The deserts were good, I am now a fan of baklava. Though I will say, whatever you do, do not eat the candy they give while you exit. I’m not sure who but them but they are like licorice and cinnamon or something. They were not pleasant or good, if you are reading this, just switch to like mints or something, you don’t have to be special. Overall, amazing experience, it’s just a few small parts that just were not superb and over the top.
Nice experience, but not spectacular. I had grilled: octopus, calamari, and lamb riblets. I also had roasted prawns. I liked all, but prawns were the best in my opinion.
My expectations were high as the reviews were so good. The problem is the innovating the tastes. Ingredients are fresh, but cooking and flavors didn't blew my mind.

Simply put, great Greek food. Mr recommendation is to go simple. Lamb Chops, Pitas, and a $80 bottle of Greek red wine. You will walk out happy and not breaking the bank.
