    My first time dining at Daisies and wanted to belatedly celebrate my birthday with friends. From the beginning the food, service, and overall vibes were amazing! Our server Alberto also made my bday extra special. Loved the fritto misto, gooey butter cake, and the truffle ravioli. Will definitely be dining again when I'm back in town!

    Great dinner. The food and wine were sooooooo good and the wine was a great value. We got the artichoke, a zucchini pizza and two pastas. All were unreal. Our server was super attentive and not overbearing. We were originally seated near a door that was drafty and it was a cold night, I said something and we were immediately seated somewhere else that I wasn’t cold. Great service. Great restaurant. Will be back.

    I really enjoyed dining at girl & the goat. Their menu selections were spectacular, and they were able to accommodate those with dairy intolerance (which most restaurants are unable to do). Their food selections were great and flavorful, and their staff was friendly. I would definitely recommend the chicken or steak dishes.

    Greek Yumminess happening here!!! I came here a few years ago on a date and enjoyed the outdoor seating. Service was impeccable as I believe the woman's name was Miranda. Dined inside this weekend and had another great experience with a lovely young lady by the name of Laboni...very good at her job as she broke down all the goodies for us and made our experience even better. Ambience is very nice as its an authentic Greek restaurant so it looks the part. Its definitely good Euro vibes here! Food here never disappoints and I recommend the following: Fried cauliflower ( KOUNOUPÍDI TIGANITÓ)/ capers and whipped goat feta Octopus (HTAPODÁKI STI SGÁRA) Hummus (Revithosalata) and pita Braised Lamb Shank (ARNÍ YUVETSÁKI) Wood Grilled Lamb Chops (PAÏDÁKIA ME PLIGOÚRI) Wild Boar (AGRIOGURUNO) Baklavas Greek Coffee Karavitakis Klima (medium body red wine) Everything I listed was delicious between both trips here! Great place for dates and group outings. I love this place and plan to take advantage of the rooftop patio that I just became aware of.

    Love Boka for a few reasons Food: the best duck in the city and no matter how often we get the duck it feels new and different. Excellent starters and small plates Wine and liquor: a great wine list that has some seriously great finds served with care and a great cocktail list to start or finish your night. Service: consistency is key, we enjoy coming back because there are so many familiar faces which really helps put you at ease with your dinner. The meal is timely and well attended. With a great support staff making sure no need is missed. I don't recall how many times we've been over the years but it always feels special and fresh and fun.
