Best Restaurants for Groups in Maitland

We’ve been to Greece many times, admiring the cuisine, culture, architecture, and the Cycladic design we love so much. Parea does a great job of capturing the warm, family feeling while incorporating various familiar elements of Greek decor and theming. We ordered cocktails that we enjoyed (Garden, Karpouzi, Not Today Hades, and the Greek Sangria), along with the tzatziki and tirokafteri dips with warm pita bread. The tirokafteri, a spicy feta dip, was the big hit for everyone at the table. They didn’t have the skordalia dip this time (a delicious garlic dip made with small bits of potatoes), but might bring it back in the future. For salad we had the classic Horiatiki (traditional Greek village salad), and the calamari. Both were delicious. The horiatiki was done so well and had a perfect vinaigrette on it. I hope this doesn’t change at all, because it was quite literally what we know and love about Greece! <3 For our main course, we ordered the Chicken Souvlaki, the Lamb Shank, the Cast Iron Moussaka, and the Chicken Tata. Everything was really great, and generous portions. The Chicken Tata was similar to a chicken schnitzel and had a side of pasta. We ended our meal with Mastiha (a sweet digestif that’s much better tasting than Ouzo; you must try it if you haven’t), and the Portokalopita (an orange cake) that were both great. There are still so many menu items we want to try like Phyllis’ Potatoes, Pastitsio, Greek Tea, Saganaki, Spanakopita, Beefteki, Tiropitakia, and more. It’s so exciting to see authentic Greek brands like Alpha, Mythos (the beers of Greece), Skinos and more. The beauty and hospitality of Greece has arrived to Maitland, and we’re so happy! We’ll be back very soon. I can’t wait to see lunch options in the near future. I’m hoping for fries inside gyros, galaktobouriko, and maybe some Cretan options.

This is our first time at Boca since they remodeled. They opened up the wall to the building next-door to give them more space. One thing about the restaurant of the acoustics are very bad there and it’s extremely loud and hard to have a conversation. Partway through our meal they did shut the sliding door to the room that we were in which really helped a lot. We started out with an Aji tuna appetizer, which was amazing, and then my friend had the sliced steak and I had the citrus brine pork chop. My pork chop was absolutely delicious. It was so 10. I cut it with a butter knife and had so much flavor. I would highly recommend. I can’t wait to go back so I can have it again.

Our first time dining here and Morgan made our experience special! She had great recommendations and we cannot wait to go back again. The Parmesan grouper and prime rib were outstanding! 10/10

The food was great and the wait staff was quick and wonderful.

Beautiful evening spent at Jazz Tastings. They got it all right - food, lighting, volume of live music, and most importantly, outstanding service. We will be back soon!
