    Had a GREAT time here! Came here to celebrate valentine’s day and waitress was the nicest woman, super friendly and attentive!! We started off with the complimentary fresh bread and ordered these delicious mussels in white wine with garlic for an appetizer- the portion was HUGEEE too. For dinner, we had the broccoli rabe rigatoni and lobster ravioli—both generous portions as well and full of flavor!! As a nice touch, they gave us complimentary honey drenched muffins and rice pudding since it was our first visit. Definitely recommend for amazing food and great service!

    This was not our first visit to Mythos. They were busy but it took a good 10-15 minutes for someone to come by to take our drink order. Additionally, the wait staff does not tell you about off menu offerings unless you specifically ask. The food has always been great but the service, although friendly and polite, needs some polish.
