    Gio’s is our favorite Atlantic Beach/Long Beach restaurant. Their food is exquisite. While we want to try new things, the Chicken Billie or Raffie is out of this world. On Sunday, the Sunday sauce on pasta is excellent too.

    Went to Yalos for dinner on the Fourth of July and it honestly exceeded expectations in every way. I’m pretty picky with Mediterranean food, but this place really nailed it. The whole restaurant has a really elevated, upscale vibe but still feels welcoming and not stuffy at all. Service was amazing staff knew the menu inside and out, were super helpful, and everything came out really smoothly even with a full table ordering a bunch of different dishes. We tried a little bit of everything and there wasn’t a single thing that missed. The tomahawk special was a standout cooked perfectly and honestly just impressive when it came out. Even the desserts were next level and wrapped everything up perfectly. Really solid spot all around. Definitely somewhere I’d bring people again.
