Food (saganaki, halibut with asparagus risotto, galaktoboureko) was great, server charming. I knocked off a point in each category for slow service of courses, uneven plating of food, and forgotten salad order. The server graciously made it up by comping a dessert, but still, something was off on this Sunday evening meal. Won't stop me from going back, albeit a bit warily next time.

Good food, great service. We sat outside. Inside was super busy and loud. Looked fun, but I’m glad we sat outside so we could enjoy conversation. Was perfect with heat lamp.

Went there for a business lunch with a customer because he picked it. Didn’t really enjoy my food. My gyro was over cooked and tasteless. Way over-priced if you ask me. Very disappointed.
