“ Fig martini - excellent Watermelon salad with cucumber, red onions, and feta cheese-outstanding Salmon - flavor in every bite. Calamari- fresh. Service-warm and engaging A delight - to experience- and to return! ”
“ This is a handsome place. We started by sharing a dish of eggplant & zucchini chips with 2 different sauces. It was very good. The Greek wines we had were excellent. My wife had the grilled shrimp as her main & loved it. I chose the special pork chop dish which came with a mixture of vegetables. Unfortunately, it was overcooked & very tough. Service was very good. The tab was $110 for the food & drinks plus tax & a $4 charge for paying with a credit card. ”
“ I recommend starting with their spreads with pita bread. One spread is $9 or pick 3 for $18. I picked three (red pepper with feta, hummus and their cucumber yogurt). I think they make the best hummus. I would deff come back to try more of their spreads. For their entree I got their lamb ravioli and I wish it has a little more filling. Some ravioli when I cut into it you see an empty hole. Their customer service is amazing here. Really friendly. ”
