   Quality of the food has gone down. This has been my favorite dining experience ever since they opened. The menu has changed and what I ordered just two weeks ago was different…no sides included now. The spanakopita was hard and very over cooked. My date was underwhelmed with his lamb dish, (not the lamb chops). I would still go back because the ambiance and service are great.

   Highly recommend their happy hour deals, great place to dine with coworkers and friends! The beet salad was perfection. You could tell the waitstaff maybe didn’t have a lot to do or there were too many working because they were hovering so much it was distracting.

   Our food was delicious- the saganaki was the best I ever had, and my chicken gyro build-a-bowl was mouth-watering. Our server was Jelena and she was so attentive and friendly. Can’t wait to return!

   Yet another restaurant playing the game of tacking on a 3% service charge for “benefits and rising costs”INSTEAD of reflecting in the price…be aware.

   We ate at 5:30 to have a more quiet experience. We will definitely go back. Our server helped us select items appropriate for sharing. Nice they had a happy hour option too.

   I recommend this restaurant. The happy hour is worth due to the prices and the size of the dishes.

   Great menu selections, drinks were really good, our server's recommendations were good and all items came out appropriately and at proper serving temperatures. The octopus and calamari were very tender and well seasoned as were the Greek salad, saganaki, lamb shoulder, chicken gyros and chicken riganati. We would definitely return!

    The lamb chops were undercooked and over-charred, which I didn’t enjoy. Additionally, the server seemed rushed and accidentally spilled drinks on our clothes. Fortunately, none of my colleagues were soaked, but it could have made returning to the office difficult with sticky, wet clothes. On a positive note, the ambiance was pleasant, and the rest of the food was excellent.
