   This is one of our favorite restaurants in the area. Our favorite dishes are the lamb chops served with lemon potatoes and rice and the chicken kabobs, which is served over rice with tender vegetables. I love the greek salad too. Our friends always order the fried chicken, which is made to order and takes a little bit of time to prepare, but they say it is 100% worth the wait. The staff are always friendly and attentive even in season when it may be more crowded. They bring you hummus and pita shortly after you are seated. The hummus is fabulous! They have a nice selection of Greek wines.

   My husband and I went for valentine’s. The place is small but inviting. We were greeted by Nancy, a lovely, most pleasant and vivacious young lady. The food was excellent and dessert to die for. Will definitely return.

   Have been wanting to try this spot for a while. It was very good and authentic! Server was very very sweet and nice and accommodating. They seemed short staff but we know that’s the way of the world right now... the only negative was that not all of our food came out together so we waited a bit for everyone to receive their food.. other than that we thought it was great. Will definitely be back to visit. Thanks!

    We enjoy going to Keese’s and go often. The service has been much better in the past. The food always came out together, but not this time. Our meals were delicious as always. We noticed the music was louder than usual during our visit. But, as I said, we really enjoying eating at Keese’s.

    My experience at Keese’s Greek Kouzina was PERFECT! I made this reservation for 14 of us including myself, for a special go away dinner, We all enjoyed our time. The service was incredible, very friendly, attentive and welcoming staff. They give you a warm greeting right away, Our table was ready, they set it up before we came, the restaurant was spotless, not dirty anywhere. Amazing drink menu, We had 2 bottles of greek red wine and 3 of a white wineI believe it was Nemea Lafkoti (red) and Asyurtiko. So many wines to pick and choose from, but those two were the best selections. Before we got Our appetizers, we got the complimentary hummus dip while we were viewing the menu. the hummus is absolutely delicious. Our appetizers were 4 spanakopita, 4 Octopus and 4 calamari, we also got 6 Horiatiki Salatas. Amazing appetizers, I give it an A+. the flavors were right, this was proof that the staff and kitchen KNOW what they are doing with showing people that the greek experience was. The spanakopita had so much flavor, it was crispy and smooth when you take a bite out of it, the spinach and feta blended so well together, it was baked perfectly. The octopus was absolute savory, it is the best octopus i’ve ever eaten out of every greek restaurant i’ve been to, it wasn’t chewy it was a feeling of umami. Pure perfection. The calamari was crispy and also yummy. The traditional greek salad made it all, it had too blocks of cheese on it, and it was a frankly large salad, which made it much better. The prices are extremely good and affordable, They don’t overdue anything, however, i believe it deserves more recognition because of how the one chef, denise, puts so much love into the food. she deserves so much recognition. We ordered 3 Branzinos, 2 orders of Garides, even though it’s an appetizer, and 3 Piatella Kreakiton, which was An assortment of meats like a kebab, steak, lamb chops and kefte which came with rice. THE FOOD is incredible, and we will be coming back again!!

    We visited Greek Kousina and we were amazed with both amazing food and great service. The place was packed and our food came pretty, delicious and really fast for an upper casual service they are providing there. Definitely is not fast food. We enjoyed our company and had a great time spent there, about 1hr. Very elegant place and greek food was the best even the lavraki better than in Greece. Arnaki sto furno was soft and tender and the sauce they serve was very yummy. Definitely recommend visiting!!!

    The food here is excellent. We enjoyed the flaming cheese and the eggplant spread and humus for appetizers. Three of us had the grilled branzino filet which was perfectly done. One of us had the ribs which were delicious. The two children had the Mac and cheese which the enjoyed. The problem was that the entrees were not served at the same time but rather came out one at a time and we had to wait while one of us ate. Very poor service. I do not blame the wait staff. They tried their best. The fault was in the kitchen. We were told they were working on a large take out order while preparing our dinner. I hope that the kitchen can get their act together because it’s a nice restaurant with good food.

    A group of 10 of us found this restaurant by chance on a Friday night. They weren't very busy so they could seat us right away and it was excellent. Food was incredible, and the service was great especially considering they didn't know we were coming. Don't hesitate to eat here if you like Greek food or want to try it for the 1st time.

    First, no A/C, we were sweating. The entire time. Made the entire meal uncomfortable. Food was not great on to of that. Pork chops were thin as paper and tough. Menu is not what I am used to as Greek. Overall we were not happy and will never go back again. I recommend staying away.

    This was our first visit to the Uptown location. Although we have been fans of Keeses original location in LBTS, we were pleasantly surprised to encounter a whole new vibe. Uptown is a good way to describe the feel. From the moment we walked in we were surrounded with simple elegance. The waitress was attentive, and the food was simply delicious!!! The ambiance was relaxing and fun. The owner, Denisse, even remembered our favorite dish from the other location. That is being a great neighbor! I highly recommend this restaurant to locals and visitors alike!

    First time trying this restaurant and the food was outstanding. The Saganaki was incredible as was the dip trio for appetizers. The Moussaka and the lamb shank were delicious. The grilled snapper was a great healthy option and very fresh and tasty. Looking forward to going back.

    Food is very good!! Unfortunately, the evening we were there we had a reservation for 16. There was a bit of confusion with the reservation and restaurant was not prepared for us. As we were waiting another large party arrived without a reservation. They were seated before our party. Once we settled into our table we realized there was only 1 server. There was long wait times between ordering, drink arrival, food arrival and receiving the check. In all fairness, the single server did her best and kitchen did not disappoint.

    We stuck with the basics on this first visit, sharing traditional Greek spreads and pita as an appetizer and each ordering a serving of mousaka. Everything was well-presented, flavorful and plentiful. The service was superb in this caring family owner and operated little gem - we will be back!
