    The food, service, and atmosphere are wonderful. Authentic and freshly prepared Greek food that rivals the best of the best. I know that people don't necessarily come to the Big Easy for Greek food, but do yourself a favor and stop in. You'll be rewarded. Unfortunately, in order to give a full and complete review, I have to include that the online menu and restaurant menu were of by as much as $18 higher in some cases. Also, the restaurant has a $15 per person deposit for reservations, but the deposit refund takes 5-7 days.

    The food was excellent. The service a bit slow. The waiter was pleasant but distracted by his telephone watching videos. After getting attention and as more customers arrived was much more attentive.

    Food was fantastic. Service was attentive and friendly. Music was loud but with its location I understand that they are trying to attract passers by. If I had not been intrigued by the menu I never would have stopped to eat there. But I am so glad I did. The food was top notch- fresh authentic Greek fare. Totally worth the trip.

    Everything about this restaurant was fantastic. The food was top notch and their avgolemono soup was the best I’ve ever had. Our server was delightful and coached us on the correct pronunciation of menu items when we struggled. Don’t miss the flaming cheese appetizer or the spread sampler — delicious!

    Great food, friendly & knowledgeable staff. Luca our waiter was very attentive. Jacobo, who greeted us at the door, made us feel very welcomed & confortable. The shrimp platter was amazing. I will definitely return!
