    This was my second time here and it was even better than my first. The grilled octopus was grilled perfectly so tender, the Horiatiki salad was so delicious, the gyro appetizer with the traditional meat was so tender and had such good flavor, the tzatziki so creamy and homemade pita. Will be returning very soon!!

    Went for Mother’s Day at 530pm. My wife & I already liked this place which is why we came back for Moms Day. Our waitress was nice but it seemed like she kind of forgot about us. Asked busboy for more bread, (gave us a weird look and never brought the bread). This happened twice or else I would never mention it. A bit later, I asked a bus boy for a glass of ice after he dropped off the Octopus, again a look of disdain. Had to ask waitress much later. Food is decent but way overpriced (I kno everything is now). Grilled Octopus appetizer is incredible, so this is a must if you visit! Not crossing off the list but won’t be back for awhile.

    Since they expanded their restaurant the service is severely lacking. We were here a few months ago and had a terrible experience - the server had 15+ tables and could not service them adequately. We were hoping all the kinks had been worked out but we were seated in the same area of the restaurant and could not believe nothing had changed. Our server again had 15+ tables, and though we were seated at our reservation time we waited 25 minutes before the server took our drink order and at which time we chose to give him our entire order for fear we wouldn't see him at our table again during our meal. The server is excellent - but he can't do his job satisfactorily because of the number of tables he is servicing. The food is delicious so we want to come back but the restaurant needs to hire people to serve. We witnessed several frustrated people.

    The Calamari appetizer is one of the best we have had. The Saganaki appetizer is enough for 4 people. We shared the Mousaka which was delicious. The food here is always great and the service is excellent.

    We had dinner at Molos Greek Taverna today to celebrate our daughter’s college graduation. It was our first time dining there, but will not be our last! Caroline is a spectacular server! She helped us choose delicious appetizers, entrees, and desserts. We started with the 3 dip platter (tzatziki, whipped spicy feta, eggplant) and saganaki. Gyros, Pastichio, Spanakopita, and pork chop chops were delicious entrees! The dessert combination platter was such a great choice! Everything was so delicious!

    The waitstaff has always been delightful and engaging. We’ve been back several times. The Feta appetizer delighted one of our party that “doesn’t like Feta”. Will be back again!
