    One of our very favorite restaurants, always 5 star! Last evening, however, service was only “good.” Waiter was less than attentive, unusual for one of Richmond’s best restaurant. Small matter but when expectations are high it’s easy to be disappointed.

    Amazing atmosphere, exceptional service, delicious Greek food without being gimmicky. The beet side was amazing, and was pleasantly surprised with the variety of the sample entree. So much food for your money and great quality, so glad I made this a destination during my weekend vacation!

    Delicious food! We went for brunch on Friday morning so the restaurant was fairly quiet. The server was attentive, professional, and friendly. We all loved our dishes and the servings were very plentiful. Drinks were good also. Would definitely go there again-anytime!
