We only saw the waiter when he took our order, and delivered our flaming cheese and then came back for ordering the dessert and the check. Other staff members delivered the rest of our food and dessert. We asked other servers for lemon, beverage refills, and to exchange a burnt dessert for one that wasn't burnt. Thank goodness for other staff members. Our waiter was MIA. The appetizers, meatballs and flaming cheese were very good. I recommend both the meatballs and flaming cheese. Unfortunately the spanakopita (spinach filo) was overcooked with hard crusty filo dough on top. The combination plate was ok. The lamb was overcooked, and the moussaka was overcooked. The baklava was also burnt on the bottom and we had to ask for a replacement. The place is decorated very well and very inviting. There is free valet service which is unheard of with easy in and out drop offs. I have been here before and the food was great. Tonight they didn't make the mark. I will come again as it was probably an off night.

Restaurant Review: Greek Islands in Chicago

I recently treated myself to dinner at Greek Islands in Chicago, seeking an authentic Greek dining experience, and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised by my visit. As I arrived, I was pleased to find complimentary valet service, which is a rare convenience in the bustling city of Chicago.

Upon entering the restaurant, I was greeted by a warm and welcoming hostess, setting the tone for a delightful evening. The staff's attentive service continued as even the gentleman offering water was friendly and accommodating. My waiter, Claudio, was knowledgeable about the menu and graciously assisted me in navigating the various options.

The atmosphere of Greek Islands was inviting, and I particularly enjoyed sitting next to the fireplace, which provided a cozy touch, especially as I tend to get cold easily. I decided to order the riblets, unaware of the generous portion size that awaited me. The dish came with sides of broccoli, rice, gravy, and potatoes. While the potatoes were not to my liking, the rice and gravy were decent, and the broccoli was cooked to perfection. The riblets, although flavorful, could have been more tender for my taste.

Despite this minor setback, my overall experience at Greek Islands was quite enjoyable. The quality and quantity of food received for the price paid exceeded my expectations. I left the restaurant satisfied and already contemplating my next visit to explore different menu offerings. If you appreciate Greek culture and cuisine, Greek Islands in Chicago is certainly worth a visit for a memorable dining experience.

Very big and cozy greek island market and restaurant vibe. Service is pretty good. Friendly staff. Amazing food. Vegetarian and Gluten-free free friendly menu options. Flaming saganaki cheese is a must to order. The Mediterranean octopus dish is the best octopus I've ever had. Lavraki is also pretty good. I was hesitant to as I'm not as experience deboning fish, but the servers are professional at deboning the fish for you. Home-made yogurt with walnut and honey is a pretty good healthy dessert. Vanilla bean ice cream is also good. Strongly recommend the Greek Island special for those with sweet tooth who also enjoy multiple textures (shreded filo dough, walnuts, lemon custard, creamy topping) Gender neutral family restroom available.

Excellent service all around. Our waiter was so attentive, friendly, and fast! To add, the other workers refilling water, and clearing empty plates off the tables were extremely efficient… you will definitely not experience bad service at this restaurant, even on nights that are very busy (we had to wait 20 minutes for a table).

Avgolemomo soup (lemon egg rice) was so flavorful, and the fried calamari was very fresh with just the right amount of breading… the salad was fresh, and the classic gyro plate with tzatziki sauce was plentiful in portion and also delicious. The pita bread was so soft and freshly made.

Will absolutely be back!

Atmosphere here is charming. Service was ok not terrible and not great. Now let’s talk about the food, I really wanted to like this restaurant because the google reviews were so positive. But if you read enough reviews and have been let down so many times you take reviews with a grain of salt. The traditional Greek salad was not very traditional, it was mostly iceberg lettuce. Grilled octopus was tasty and cooked well. I ordered the tenderloin kebabs medium but got well done instead. The bell peppers are very sad looking. Grilled swordfish was cooked perfectly. The grilled shrimp kabobs were not fresh and tasted of ammonia. My wife and I both swallowed a bite of the shrimp before we realized it was bad. I hope we don’t get food poisoning from it.
