We were in the mood for Spanish tapas but the one we went too was packed! So we diverted to this place. I’ll have to say, this place exceeded our expectations.

Food was fabulous on our Friday “Date Night”. Been here about 5 times now and enjoy the service, food and atmosphere every time! Sat outside next to the heaters and had a wonderful meal while listening to soft music. Greek cuisines, appetizers and drinks.

One of the best restaurants in all of California. Taverna’s staff were attentive, friendly, and prompt. The food was phenomenal, and Taverna is a perfect place for a great mid-lunch lunch.

A real peninsula treat. Took outdoor seating, great relaxed experience – tented seating option is my favorite. Wines, and menu transport to Santorini and other areas y Greece. Lamb – perfect!

We love Taverna! We bring out of town visitors here because it’s reliably good. The tzatziki and pita and saganaki flaming cheese are always excellent starters! I don’t like lamb chops normally, but these are incredible and I love them! The bougasta dessert is phenomenal with the pastry layers and pistachio gelato. The waitstaff is fabulous; kind and very attentive.

First time here, service was amazing! A special thanks to Jade, Parker, and Dylan. Thank you for making us feel welcomed! Food is delicious! We enjoyed the crispy chicken sandwich, pasta, hamburger, iced espresso coffee with brown sugar, glass of Rose wine and dessert was a vanilla custard treat with pistachio ice cream.
