The restaurant is nice - although we were seated right by the front door on a very cold night, so it was pretty uncomfortable. The food was all terrific - except for the octopus, which was very tough. I would definitely order take out next time.

All 3 dips that we got were very good . Eggplant salad was excellent! Lamb skewers and falafel were delicious. Wasn’t crazy about the pita as I’m used to the thicker Greek pita.Baklava wasn’t up to par, but next time I’ll try the katifi pastry with cream .Service was excellent. My husband and I had a lovely time and will definately be coming back!

We had a great meal at Apricot Stone! The food was excellent, the service was great - even though there was only 1 server, she was killing it and provided great service. Gotta love a BYO as well! The food came out promptly and was delicious and high quality. Some of the best spanikopita I've had in a long time!
