- JJohnPortland / Oregon •6 reviews5.0Dined on Apr 24, 2025The food and service was excellent. The little gem salad, Greek potatoes and Greek lamb chops were a hit. The restaurant gets a little noisy when full, however not in bad way. If you want a quieter experience their sister restaurant Dolly Olive is a great choice.More infoMediterranean Exploration CompanyPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Northwest Portland•4.8
