About the restaurant

The stunning restaurant, which is the first of its kind in South Jersey, will transport guests to the Greek Islands with an atmosphere reminiscent of an inviting Mediterranean home, and a menu of authentic specialties, simply prepared, that represent the best of Greek cuisine. The restaurant specializes in whole grilled fish, which are flown in from the Greek islands, the shores of Morocco, Tunisia and Portugal, and procured from independent North American fishermen. We have created a welcoming restaurant designed with the comforts of a typical Greek home. We used materials such as hand-chiseled Jerusalem limestone floors, hand woven rugs, vaulted ceilings, antiqued stucco walls, wood plank floors and exposed wood beams to evoke the traditional atmosphere. A series of dining areas feature rustic farm tables, dark wood chairs with beige cushions and dining nooks with upholstered banquettes. The homelike ambience is accentuated with whitewashed walls.

Great food as always, drinks are a bit pricey and strong. Your paying for value, food is worth it and you’ll leave full from all the great apps and entrees.

We absolutely love this place. It came highly recommended from someone who is a first generation Greek American and it did not disappoint. The grilled meats were absolutely unbelievable. We ordered the fried cheeseballs and I’m pretty sure I have never had fried cheese that good. The prices were very reasonable, considering the quality and quantity. We will be going back.
