three as our service was subpar last eve but the food and ambiance great indoors was loud but we sat outdoors we enjoyed great taramasalata and a variety of greek dips with veggies and pita for $21 (tho hummus a drop watery and babaganousgh not creamy enough for my liking) the shrimp / scallop orzo special was delicious - we got 3! eggplant tower dinner also great both of those were on the specials and galataboureko for dessert was wonderful too i would go back again for the food as i would hope it was a one time issue

My girlfriend and I hadn’t been back for 8 months, so it was so refreshing to sit outside on a beautiful evening. Our waitress Ruthie was great. My girlfriend had Flounder and I had the hummus (special) appetizer and a Ceasar Salad with Salmon. Yummy!! Can’t wait to come back!!! Gerry Brown

Went there for Father's Day with my son. We both had a great time. Excellent food and service. Ate outside on a beautiful day. We picked the Greek classics for our entrees, Moussaka and Pastichio. Both were wonderful. Appetizers of felafel, hummous, baba ghanouj and roasted beats, pita and cuke and carrot slices hit the spot. Go there! You won't be disappointed.

I’ve been going here for years but was a little disappointed tonight I know prices have gone up and that’s OK but portions have also gone down a little and our waiter is not someone who I recognized and he wasn’t patient and it wasn’t that crowded enough that he should be rushing us I love their food and we’ll go back but again a little disappointed with eating there

Flavor-flavor-FLAVOR. We were blown away by every main plate. The lamb & orzo had that slight something that differentiates from Italian cuisine. The rack of lamb was tender & succulent. The flounder lemonato was mouthwatering & the stuffers filet of sole was a flavor explosion. The 2nd floor location and lack of cover from the sun ruled out al fresco (umbrellas do little for coverage of late day sun.)

The ambiance of this place is great. For starters we had wings and calamari and those two were great. Our entrees however did not match the mark. The Lamb & Orzo, the meat was beautifully tender but the sauce was way too salty. The server recommended the appetizers and we were impressed, we probably should’ve asked for recommendations on our entree as well. If you are a first timer like we were, I suggest asking for recommendations.

First time here. Even though restaurant was crowded table conversation felt private. I had steak and lamb shush kabob The steak was excellent lamb was ok but I am not fan of lamb normally. My son had lamb burger and thought it was excellent. Daughter tried falafel beet salad and liked it however the falafel felt like it was very processed. Spinach and artichoke dip great. Pita is outstanding. overall delicious and definitely recommend and will return
