The taverna was such a great time. The menu had everything you wanted for Greek food and it was all amazing. From the Saganaki to the soup avgolemeno to the Athens market special. The food wasn’t the best part, the best part was owner Mary Pappas. What a lovely person and such a treat to talk to and laugh with.

I’ve been lucky enough to go to Athens many times and this is the best Greek food I’ve had outside Greece, period! It brings me right back! We brought our infant son and our server Ryan made us feel at home. The baby octopus alone will bring us back this trip. This restaurant should be a priority if you enjoy Mediterranean at all!

If you want a legitimate Greek meal this is the place to come! The food was excellent and the galaktoboureko second to none!

Great food! Beautifully tender octopus, delicate moussaka, nicely flavored pork souvlaki, and exceptional dolmanthes. We showed up on a live music night with no reservation. Nevertheless the friendly staff found us a table. The owner came by to make sure we were ok. So much hospitality! And did I mention the delicious food?

Authentic Greek food that would have appeased Epicurus. Two steps s better than any Greek I have found in San Diego. We came for the Saganaki and it did not disappoint. Delicious soups and Greek wine, as were the main courses. The sweet custard for dessert was as good as my favorite place in Athens. Perfect for both a casual meal or a nice evening out.

Always feel at home when I am here. The food is like my grandma would make. The service is so polite, I feel at home and I am not even Greek. Maybe in my heart?

Food is phenomenal, and somehow the service was even better. Brian was our server and seemed completely unphased by us bringing our young children. He was very accommodating. One of my favorite dining experiences ever.

This is the most exact and best Greek I have had in along time, it is cooked prepared and exactly taste like the best restaurants in Athens! The beef souvlaki was worth every penny and the value of a full plate, this is a true restaurant from the atmosphere to the tables to the staff it is a 10! Well done Πάρα πολύ ωραία και ευχαριστώ.
