    We had a late Valentine’s Day celebration combined with our wedding anniversary. I selected Thassos as our place of celebration, and oh how we felt like royalty! The food- just incredible. The service- best you’ll find in Chicago. The drinks? - better than those I’ve had at restaurants in New York or Denver. Such a romantic setting for our special day and I can’t thank Thassos enough for the beautiful memories we have created there.. Do yourself a favor and make a reservtaion, because this place has always been packed when I’ve been here and it’s no surprise! I can’t stop thinking about that Shrimp appetizer with red sauce and feta!! Out of this world!!

    We had an incredible dining experience at Molos Greek Restaurant! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and an atmosphere that transported us straight to Greece. We ordered the Pastichio, Moussaka, and Saganaki, and every bite was absolutely delicious. The Saganaki was perfectly flambéed at the table, creating a fun and flavorful start to our meal. The Moussaka had the perfect balance of creamy béchamel and rich, spiced meat, while the Pastichio was comforting and packed with authentic flavors. Beyond the fantastic food, the waterfront views were breathtaking, making the experience even more special. Whether you're looking for an intimate dinner or a gathering with friends and family, Molos Greek Restaurant is a must-visit. We can’t wait to come back for more! Highly recommend!
