We were met by the owner/host cordially, were seated promptly, and presented with the menus. Drinks were served quickly, and our meals appeared reasonably soon. The food, as usual, was tasty, warm, and well presented. The wine was good, and the desert scrumptious. A most enjoyable experience.

Excellent food and service. Convenient location central in San Carlos. Some very unique food items very tasty Greek food. Only negative is the prices for lunch are the same as for dinner which is not low. Would have appreciated a lunch menu like most restaurants.

We return to Pylos often because it has a great menu, always good food, nice ambiance and good service. The dips are some of the best we have ever enjoyed, especially the Greek olive dip. Prices are reasonable for high quality food.

We had a confirmed 2:30 pm reservation and arrived prior to 2:30pm but were told restaurant was closed for private party. Unfortunately, given the time, other restaurants in the area were closing for lunch service. So, what was intended to be a nice birthday celebration turned into a very challenging time.

Wonderful Greek restaurant. Very fresh food on a comprehensive menu that does not shoot to cover the whole of Greek cuisine. Generous portion sizes, great for sharing. Nice cocktail selection including original inventions. Ample wine list with Greek vintages worth trying in addition to more local fare.

We celebrated a birthday with them. We were very lucky to get there when they opened. We were able to sit outside. The food was good. The service was good. I’m not sure they saw the message that we were there to celebrate a birthday, so they didn’t do anything special for that, but it was a nice meal together. I will definitely hope to dine there again.

Pylos is a good Mediterranean restaurant. To start they bring you some delicious pita bread with a tomato spread. Their zucchini cakes with cucumber mint sauce and Greek lemon soup is a great way to begin your dinner. My two companions enjoyed fish and lamb shank. There is a full bar with interesting cocktails and an outdoor area that is very nice. If you like Mediterranean food, Pylos is the place to go in San Carlos.

Perfect visit all in all except for it was a hot day; inside and outside dining were both warm, no AC. But the Service & Santorini wine & food we had are all great. Had 3 dips, octopus with greens, whole sea-bass & Moussaka all these were excellent! Will come back to try different dish.

We went for lunch and chose to sit outside under the canopy. The salad used very fresh ingredients like they do in Greece. The manager made us an appetizer sampler though it is normally only available for dinner. The entrées were also very nice and we had an excellent experience overall. I tried their Greek iced coffee but it was not sweet. Others in our group ordered the Turkish coffee which was good.

We had all appetizers and shared for our meal. 2 dips and 2 hot appetizers. Plus wine, of course! Everything we ordered we would order again. It was delicious. I can't say enough good things about our waiter. J.J. made us feel like we were back in Greece and enjoying an outside meal at a local restaurant. The only thing missing was a view. But the outside seating was very comfortable.

I had tried Pylos’s food via DoorDash, so knew it was good but had never dined at the restaurant. It was fantastic. White tablecloth dining with great service. I was on a keto diet and was able to get 3 tasty lamb chops with a pile of spinach no problem, while my companion ordered off the menu and ate every bite. Quiet enough to have a conversation, casual but refined, authentic and comfy. And great food with friendly service! I
