Great atmosphere! Was surprised to find this spot, unassuming from the outside, but very nice inside! Loved the warm complimentary pita bread. Good appetizer selection, all Greek fare. The tiropitakia was delicious! All the food has decent portions for the price. The lemon chicken soup was a hit! The filet mignon was a little fatty but cooked exactly how I asked and was enjoyable otherwise. The sauce with mashed potatoes is very tasty. Amazing desert selection! The chocolate mouse cake is a must to try. There is plenty of indoor dining with some enclosed outdoor seating. Overall, I was happy with the experience and would recommend it!

Fancy restaurant with awesome food! Clam chowder was the best I’ve had in my life!!!! Service was thorough and joyful. Very clean and peaceful atmosphere, great temperature. Lighting was perfect: not dark and not bright. Food came quickly.

While the service was great, the food was not what we expected for the price. The saganaki appetizer was great, but the entrees disappointed. The rice pilaf on my gyros plate was not like any pilaf I’ve ever had. The grains were all very wet and stuck together, and the flavor was like rice boiled in chicken broth. The pasta on my wife’s combination plate and her sister’s Mediterranean chicken were similar in that they were just swimming in liquid. Not at all what we expected. Probably won’t go back.

My first time here and I loved it! Everything tasted delicious and the place itself is beautiful. I don’t usually eat veg items but I did try their bruschetta and hummus with pitta bread and both were scrumptious. My friend had the chicken Alfredo. Our hostess, who was very courteous, brought over the different dessert selections for us to see live. It helped us decide what we wanted to try. I had the baklava cheesecake and she had the chocolate cake. I can’t wait to come back!

My friend had been wanting to try this place for a while so we came for dinner. I ordered the crab cakes and a flaming cheese appetizer. For dinner we ordered the Mediterranean chicken pasta and the special of ribeye and shrimp. For drinks, we had the blackberry mojito, a long Island iced tea, and a bloody Mary. The crab cakes are soggy and undercooked. The cheese appetizer was delicious. The Mediterranean chicken pasta sauce was bland and the chicken was dry. The ribeye was seasoned beautifully, but it was smothered in a demi glaze that ruined the flavor. It only came with four shrimp. I expected them to be sauteed or seared and instead they tasted like they were precooked, frozen shrimp.

I had Chicken Alfredo the food and sauce was delicious. The waiter was pleasant and not too pushy. We arrived a little late after our party arrived and they had already ordered. I didn’t know it was close to closing time because this was 1st time going there.

The prawns were overcooked and rubbery. The rice pilaf was served cold. The calamari appetizer was excellent. The menu has a wide selection. Will have to go back and try a different dish, and maybe it will be a more positive experience.

The salad was excellent, but the service was very, very, VERY slow. I had the euro plate, which, ironically had no lettuce tomato or onion on it. I guess that’s my fault for not reading more thoroughly. One assumes…

We used to frequent this place in the early 2000’s. Food is still good. The only complaint I have is that they put my family of 6 in a round table that was designed for 4. We had a reservation reservation too …
