    The warm greeting at the door was the beginning of impeccable service for the night. The food was excellent from appetizers to dessert with the lamb chops and Galaktoboureko as true standouts. It was a great way to celebrate our 39th anniversary!

    Amazing dining experience for my husband's birthday. Daria was our server and was excellent. We loved her suggestions on the menu as well. We enjoyed the octopus (best I've ever had), lamb meatballs, Gigantes, Smelt, and the goat stew to finish. We were absolutely stuffed and definitely slept like babies! Everything was stunning. I've heard such wonderful things before coming here, and they had exceeded my expectations.

    I made a rather last minute reservation for four at Mykonos Meze. Procrastination like this often leads to disappointment. Not this time! Our Christmas evening experience was incredible, beginning before we even walked through the doors: the brightly lite Christmas tree twinkling in the front window made for a frame-worthy picture. The staff were just the right level of friendly, and it wasn't long before we were made to feel like longtime customers, though we had never been here. The ambience inside with the magenta accent lighting, table lamps and holiday decorations, was magical. Most importantly, the food was amazing. All of it! We can't wait to return, try different things and really become those regulars.
