Now, we are bringing our six generations of brewing expertise to life in this one-of-a-kind culinary experience that highlights the diverse cultures of both Pennsylvania and Florida.

Always a great spot for Greek. Portions are large, especially the salads. I am a big eater and I've never been able to finish one of their salads! Service is good too and they are open later than most restaurants in the area, which is a plus for us.
