Chef Eugenia Hobson and her team prepare authentic Greek dishes served attentively in a breezy Aegean-inspired atmosphere. Our signature dishes include the grilled octopus, the kolokithokeftedes (stuffed zucchini fritters), the lavraki whole fish (branzino) filleted table side, and the arni giouvetsi (lamb shank with orzo). Our selection of nine desserts are all made fresh daily in-house and feature Greek classics such as the baklava and the galaktoboureko. Our wine list is meticulously curated on a seasonal basis by son Philip Hobson selecting from Greece's top vineyards who produce indigenous varietals such as Assyrtiko & Xinomavro, and western grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon & Sauvignon Blanc. Our beer selection focuses on bottled Greek brews while our bar is fully stocked to serve both classic cocktails and signature drinks inspired by the best bars in Athens. Outdoor tables are available in the summer months.

    Took my husband here for his birthday dinner last night after going with friends a few months beforehand and having a great experience. When we arrived the host was very cold and didn't even say hello just asked for my name. Then we were seated right next to the kitchen in the back it was very noisy. I sat on a pen (must be from the diners beforehand's check). The table was set but our table did not have a candle on it so it was a bit dark. All the other tables did. Someone brought us water. Then a waiter came over about 10 minutes afterwards and said "Did anyone take your order yet?" We said no. So then he asked for our order. The food came out quick and we finished our first courses before the drinks arrived. Steak skewers were our favorite as well as the zucchini slices. We really enjoyed the food, but honestly the service was not equal to the food quality compared to when I went last time. We never had someone greet us and tell us anything about the menu etc. it was a very rushed experience. Honestly I was dissapointed because we paid a babysitter so we could come out and have a great evening and I just wish I went somewhere else due to the lack of service, table placement, and the loud banging from the kitchen. And it was my husband's birthday so I was disappointed because I kept raving to him about the great service and food.

    Very pleasant experience and comfortable restaurant for lunch. I rated the service a level 3 because communication was difficult, waiter did not check on the table enough, and he got one of our orders incorrect. However I really liked the overall atmosphere and my Greek omelette was very tasty, coming with a nice Greek salad on the side. There are lots of options on the menu and I will come back for dinner. I recommend trying this restaurant.

    First visit (but not the last) was for lunch. Avgolemeno (a cup next time, it’s a large bowl), appetizer portions of taramasalata, dolmades (meatless version), spanakopita, and gigantes (large, creamy beans baked in tomato sauce and olive oil). Everything was excellent. Our server, Lorraine, could not have been more pleasant and attentive. Three cheers for Our Mom Eugenia. Can’t wait to return to try the chicken with green beans and roasted potatoes- a classic Greek offering.

    I travel to Greece regularly, and deeply enjoy how the food and service at Out Mom Eugenia is true to the cuisine and style I enjoy When I am in Greece. My daughter and I had Friday lunch at Shirlington. Again, the food was just so delicious. Our lunch was interrupted by a phone call that my daughter needed to take. Our servers asked the kitchen staff to delay preparation of our entrees, which they did, and with true Greek hospitality—pheloxenia, in mind. To be sure, I shall be returning very soon.

    The food was good, however we did not have time to finish our appetizers before the salad and the remainder of our lunch arrived. This after specifically asking that the meal be paced so that we could finish one course before the next arrived. Next time we will order one course at a time.

    What a treat! Great decor - you feel like you’re having dinner with your friends (who happen to be Greek). Food was amazing; best lamb I’ve ever had. Service was attentive; Noah did a great job of keeping the food coming without rushing us at all. Wonderful experience and looking forward to my next visit. Hint: if you have a larger part (6+), ask for the table in the front window.

    I'll begin by noting that I had been to the Shirlington location once before, shortly after it opened, and thought it was not meeting the standards of the other O.M.E. locations. Saturday night, though, everything was first rate. Our group of eight shared three spreads--melitzanosalata, taramosalata, and tyrokafteri--and feta with olives. All were delicious and nicely presented. For appetizers we had dolmades, kolokithokeftedes , grilled haloumi, souflaki. Our mains included mixed grill, lamb shank, branzino, and moussaka. We also had a couple of kids meals--one chicken and one meatball. Everyone was really happy with whatever they'd ordered. The food was great and the service was outstanding.
