Gardens of Salonica has a pretty large menu compared to most Mediterranean restaurants I’ve been to. The lunch menu had a decent array but I’d like to go back for their dinner, which I assume has more entrees to choose from. It was hard for us to decide what to order, everything was great though.

I. Love. This. Place. My friend has been raving about it forever and I live out of town so finally made it today… every bite was delicious and the genuine kindness of our server was wonderful. When you’re ready for a relaxed experience, check this place out. SO DELICIOUS!

Beautiful place, beautiful food, and beautiful people. The environment of the restaurant was just lovely and the meat from both the staff and meal were some of the best i’ve ever had in my mouth. 10/10

Simply breathtaking with the character of the outside of the building is just the beginning. The food is simply to die for. Also the wait staff is phenomenal when it comes to paring their wine with the food that they have on the menu. Simply top notch!

Let’s be real: We all hate the new “Dining Out After COVID” experience. Attendance & ambience are sad, menus are limited, ingredients & freshness aren’t always as reliable as before due to unknown inventory needs…

Very strange experience overall. I’ll preface it by saying the food was very good and seemed more authentic than other Greek restaurants I’ve been to in the area (but I’m no expert). Would give 5 stars for the food but the experience is clearly 1 star.

Simon was amazing waiting on my mother and I, had the lamb gyro w/fries with wine, was a lot of food! I also had espresso drink where he told me my fortune based on how the coffee grounds fell onto my plate, and he was spot on!! We ended with a desert, ice cream scoops and boughatsa’s(Al-a-mode style!)and they were both very rich and tasted beautiful, Anna the owner was there and schooled us on what Ouzo was(Oots-oh)lol she seems very nice too! Highly recommend this place, feel like I should have paid more! Bravo Gardens of Salonica! BRAVO!

Food was good, but I wasn’t pleased with the last couple experiences and I’ve been coming here for 7 years so just bit disappointed. They were out of certain items on the menu, but we weren’t told until after each of us put in our order. This happened three times in a row. I understand you can be out of something, but it’d be helpful if the server was aware of this and communicated upfront before or when we’re ordering to save us all time. Especially since the items were on the menu.

My new favorite Greek restaurant. Every time we come we find a new favorite and Anna invites us to try something new. Today she brought us stuffed squash blossoms which were divine and full of flavor!
