    Absolutely wonderful from when we were greeted at the door by the owners to our leaving with hugs for a Happy New Year. It’s a beautiful venue, food is exquisite, service is impeccable. There is nothing at this restaurant that doesn’t ring 5 stars.

    Family of four each ordered a different entree and shared apps. Everything was delicious, hot, and dropped on table in unison. Octopus and phyllo/spinach starters, lamb porterhouse, baklava… Portions were generous. Prices were commensurate.

    We always enjoy Axia. The zucchini chips as a shared starter is first rate. There's one vegan option, which is a good idea as my wife is vegan. Their pastitsio is served en croute. Only issue tonight was restaurant was full (good for the owner) but service was a tad slower than usual.
