First time dining here. Greek salad/ dressing delicious. Not sure if there was any eggplant in the moussaka? Why play rock music in Greek restaurant? Service was good, friendly staff. Will eat here again. Great Greek menu offerings.

We had a fabulous evening and Ronnie was a great server. The only bit of feedback we have is when you have a band playing very loudly next door, you should turn off the resteraunt music because they compete with each other and you can not enjoy music from either side. Other than that, we had an amazing meal at a place with a great overall vibe. Will definitely be back!!!
