    We celebrated my daughter's 18th birthday here and they did not disappoint. The staff was friendly and the service was outstanding. Our entrees came out shortly after placing our orders, every dish was absolutely amazing! I recommend the Tzatziki Spread, Fried Calamari, and Spicy Shrimp for apps. I also suggest the Lobster pasta, Lamb chops, Spanakopita and Steak for the main entrees. We will be returning soon for another fabulous dinning experience.

    My partner and I have been here at least five times now and it’s become one of our favorite places to eat. The two main reasons are service and quality of food. The staff is amazing and to top it off the food is always delicious. Last night our service was even better, which we thought was impossible. We are 99% sure her name was Sara and she was absolutely a 12/10!!!

    Everything was as we expected. Most importantly the food was EXCELLENT. All dishes, especially the octopus! Service was also top notch. Noise level was very high, so we did feel like we were having to speak loudly at our table for four. ( it was a Saturday night 7:00-9:00). We will be back soon.
