A lovely gem of a restaurant! We were greeted by Diego, who spoke to us periodically through our meal, making sure everything was fine. We shared a Greek salad, which rivals one of our favorite restaurants in Florida! For our main courses, I had a huge piece of flounder prepared with tomatoes, onions potatoes and feta in a delicious wine sauce. My husband ordered the chicken kabob, which was juicy chunks of chicken with freshly grilled vegetables and basmati rice. We were treated by the owner to a sampling of incredible baklava and homemade cheesecake! We had to take home most of the dessert, due to being a little overstuffed from all the delicious food! I highly recommend PHILIA!
