    Our first time at the Greek, but we will definitely be back. Food was excellent, our server Emilianna (sic) was very attentive. It was a football weekend, so some noise was to be expected due to the large parties, but we older folks were able to converse easily without shouting. Ask for a table upstairs if you can. It's a BYOB but they do have some wines for sale. We had a trio of dips with pita, lamb kebobs, lamb chops, & moussaka. Everyone loved their meal. Plus parking was easy!
