Unfortunately, the air conditioning was on the fritz. I literally was dripping with sweat to the point my legs were wet. My entrée was good. I will have to go back when the AC is working so I can really enjoy the food without the discomfort of being extremely warm and fanning myself with a menu.

Lori Gray
We had an amazing experience for dinner here. From the ambience to our attentive server, from the tasty wine to the impeccable food, the entire evening was more than we could have hoped for! We started with the octopus, calamari, lamb kefte, and crab soup. For dinner, I had the lamb loin (which was cooked to perfection), and my husband had the scallop special. Not photographed, our friends had the steak frites, and the red snapper (the fish of the day). To top off our evening, we followed dinner up with the goat cheese and honey cheesecake. We cannot praise this restaurant enough!!

Krista Beattie
This was the first meal I have paid for since Covid that I actually felt was worth the price. Lunch was amazing, including dessert of goat cheese & honey cheesecake! Staff was genuine and pleasant, atmosphere was low key and welcoming! I will be coming back, worth the hour drive for me ☺️

Carolina Sales Vieira Macedo
Greek restaurant with a cozy atmosphere. The service is good. My family had different experiences with the food. The salmon, the crispy Brussels sprouts, and the hummus were delicious. However the taste of the flat iron was not good. It is necessary to make a reservation.

Paella is kinda salty but full of flavor. The mushroom linguine is awesome and creamy.

Mariana Alves de Carvalho
Great food and service. All our choices were above the expectations and the mood of the place was very nice. I recommend for sure.

Phillip Andrews
The food was really amazing and the staff was very attentive. The beet salad was very bright and fresh and beautifully prepared. For an entree I had the grilled pork chop that was outstanding! The fig compote on top was so tasty. The root vegetables were nice and toasty and the blue cheese risotto added a nice interest. The moussaka was very tasty. A great evening!

Pat
Rare 5 star from the wifey…she had the salmon, perfectly crusted and super tasty. Just the right temperature…waiter was phenom and prompt.

Everything would have been perfect if we weren’t told we would be charged an

This place is fantastic. So good I’m currently watching my husband shamelessly gnaw on the pork chop bone in the kitchen because he couldn’t leave it behind. I’m just sad he got to it before I did. We had a table of 7 and everyone agreed it was the best meal they have had in a long time. Service was excellent. Our group ordered the pork chop, stuffed chicken, shrimp linguine, and the steak tenderloin. We also ordered the calamari, the grilled octopus, and the spreads for appetizers. The dessert is an absolute must. Our table favorite was the creme brulee but we also loved the chocolate torte and baklava.
