The food here was delicious. The location is easy to miss since it looks like a house ina residential neighborhood. The outside presentation looks like a perfect little cafe. The inside is elegant and romantic if you want it with classy silverware setup and cups.

Was going to eat in downtown DC, but parking sucks. Found this place on Google search and decided to take the 30 minute drive to try it. From the minute we walked in, they made us feel like we were long time customers. As an added bonus, we had some AMAZING food! This place is well worth the drive. I will definitely eat here again the next time I’m in the area. I had the gyro platter, the meat was tender and delicious. The tzatziki sauce was incredible. Wife had chicken Margherita and it was excellent. The lamb was super, and if you don’t have the baklava, you are absolutely missing out on a piece of heaven.

Placed a to-go order and the owner took the time to call us to let us know they were out of what we ordered and asked what we wanted instead. I appreciated the effort vs just subbing something else without asking. Also, all of the food was amazing. The sampler was awesome.

The food was good, but lacked flavor. It’s family owned and operated, which is nice and personable.

An amazing family run restaurant with incredible food! It was a lovely evening to sit outside and the ambiance was perfect. Jasell, our server, was awesome! She was so sweet and accomodated every request. The food was terrific! I had a shrimp pasta dish that was a culinary delight. Hubby had the flounder stuffed with crab and thoroughly enjoyed it. You must try the crab stuffed mushrooms, they are to die for! The feta and spinach stuffed mushrooms are also a good option. The lamb shank dish was very much enjoyed by others in our party. Every dish was meticulously prepared to perfection. And do not forget the tiramisu, it was absolutely divine! And the expresso was a perfect complement. I can’t say enough about this hidden gem. Most definitely recommend!

I decided to try this place for the first time as an Uber Eats order and this place missed the mark in flavor, food temperature, execution, packaging, and presentation.
