    Never been here, will go back for sure. A bit loud with the sax/piano combo but entertaining. Food was awesome, we actually ordered too much but made it through. French Onion Soup was the best we’ve ever had, no way could you eat a bowl, a cup was perfect. The fondue was also very good, much lighter than we expected, the fresh bread vs day old was a nice touch. Go here!!

    We usually go early about 4:30 when I get off work. (Part time. Dinner out is a perk of working part time after retirement) It’s always quiet! We had Victor as our server the last couple times. He makes every visit really fun!we always order the saganaki. Opa! Victor makes it special.we both had Gyros tonight. Great and left overs galore! We were happy once again! Can’t recommend it strongly enough.❤️
