    The small plate style is perfect for sharing and experimenting and B&B knows how to do it. This is our second visit and we've tried a lot of things - I have to say the flavors are crazy good and just the right size to share. Do not miss the biscuits! Pleasant, helpful service and nice drinks too

    We sat at the bar for dinner, and it was very entertaining chatting with the entertaining bar tender/server. Our food was beyond delicious, each item was cooked to perfection! We started our meal with cocktails and warm rustic bread with goat butter, a luscious spread. We then shared the "GARIDES ME GIGANDES, " "PESTROFA" and "PANTZARIA." (See menu for translations.) Service was very friendly, which we felt was genuine. All in all, a great evening!

    Very nice restaurant overall. Small, nice ambiance, more quiet than most. Excellent service, Excellent food- just a small thing: one dish was very hot even though we asked for mild: make sure you are precise with your request. I am sure I could have sent it back but I hate to do that. We will definitely continue to come here!

    A great spot for a cold winter night. Food is excellent. Our waitress Natalya was helpful and attentive. She pointed out that the large salad I was going to order as an appetizer could be ordered in a smaller version instead of fries for a modest additional charge. Just the sort of thing you appreciate from a server.
