First time to this restaurant and I've been hearing a lot about it and I see why, Sara and Mike were great! I was on a first date and they made our date night even better. Service was professional and friendly all the way from the host stand to the table and the food was outstanding. This company knows what they're doing, will be back for sure

Food was 3.5. I ordered the lamp chops which were cooked medium and seasoned well. My fiancé got the Vaso’s Shrimp which was good. There seem to be a vent above our table that looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in a while. However, after each customer dined, the table cloths were changed. Overall rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food was great, the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was lovely. The menu is so extensive, I couldn't figure out what to order, but I'll definitely be thinking about the moussaka until I go back again. Oh, and don't get me started on the orange sponge cake. Delish!

Delia's is the perfect spot to grab a pre-movie dinner at the AMC Hoffman. Service was wonderful, and their menu is quite expansive while still being unique. We had a hard time choosing what we wanted to order, but loved what we got: the pizza knuckles, chicken souvlaki, and sausage pasta. Their happy hour is great too.
