    We usually love eating at Axia, but for some reason yesterday was different. The service was extremely slow and not very pleasant. Otherwise, the place is very good.

    As always, a superb experience at Axia. From the moment we walk in the door, Tim and Dmitri welcome us into a sophisticated yet casual dining experience with Alex creating new specials alongside usual favorites on a diverse menu that allows us to make healthy, delicious dining choices that always satisfy. Service is exceptionally attentive, the atmosphere is lively and romantic at the same time, and the cocktails are the best around. Six stars!

    Warm and welcoming, always a pleasure, like visiting an old friend's place. One of our neighborhood favorites. Seating is comfortable and not too snug. Both dining and bar crowds all seem to be having a good, civilized time; noise level sometimes lively but not an issue. High tables are a nice in-between choice between bar and standard dining tables. Haven't had experience with outdoor seating. Short but decent wine and beer list. As for cocktails, my wife has a preference for one added ingredient in her Cosmopolitan -- which they not only accommodate but generally remember. Greek-accented food always freshly and thoughtfully prepared. Basic menu augmented by a few daily choices. Service attentive without being in your face. Not a bargain but frankly you get what you pay for: a fair value and a good meal.

    Perfection. We dined downstairs at our favorite table, served by the best waiter. The food is so memorable, each morsel melting in our mouths. No one does seafood better.
