Great experience we went for Mother’s Day and took our 3 year old. The waitress provided crayons upon arrival and they made a special Greek yogurt with strawberries and honey for him which was delicious. This freed up my husband and I to enjoy our delicious meals. The shrimp here is amazing! The outdoor patio is a must!

First thing, the service is good. We had a reservation for lunch, and the hostess allowed me to sit there to wait for others who were running late. It wasn't until 45 minutes had passed before she asked if I wanted to order a drink. Also, she changed my water glass for something I didn't even spot. And always with a smile. The service was perfect. We order grilled cheese, grilled octopus, lentil soup, red snapper. And lamb chops medium raw. All the food taste good, but the octopus and lamb chops are particularly outstanding. I'm very happy with the experience and will definitely come back for more.

We had a great dinner experience. Spreads are above and beyond, Spanakopita is one of the best. Padakia are nice thick cuts and the Branzino was cooked perfectly. Couldn't finish it all - plenty for take home.

Backyard seating was perfect and appreciate the server providing a heating lamp for the chilly night! Loved the variety of the dip spread, it was amazing. Salmon was well seasoned and perfectly cooked. Ask for the bread pudding for dessert! Looking forward to going back sometime.

The five of us had a fine dining experience. The food was fresh and very well prepared, the service staff was friendly and readily available to answer questions, and the chef surprised us with two superb desserts in honor of a guest's birthday. And the decor was attractive.

After many positive reviews from friends and on line, we went. The service and staff were terrific. It possibly could have just been on off night for the chef. The fried calamari was terrific, though. It was lightly battered and tender. The octopus fell short as the texture was very mushy. The lamb shank was tender but little seasoning. Even the sauce with the helopita pasta was bland. The dish needed herbs, garlic, and seasonings. They were very kind in bringing a dessert in honor of my friend's birthday. We will come back at another time when the back patio is open which hopefully will have some atmosphere to make it feel more like a Greek taverna. We will give it another try then and try the whole fish dishes then. We would recommend it to friends with our above critique.

We enjoyed our meal, beet salad appetizer was large and delicious,, bread pudding and espresso was outstanding! Lovely atmosphere and friendly service! Our only problem was the whole red snapper ,a special that night! The fish was very fresh, but was very dry and slightly over cooked! It said the fish was filleted, but we found way too many bones !Otherwise, a lovely experience!
