    Arrived on time and promptly seated. One person at a two-top. Tap water and an amuse bouche of Kalamata olives, hummus and radishes along with excellent EVOO and rustic bread was presented. Ordered Portuguese Sardines with Oregano and Lemon, Orzo with Wild Mushrooms and a Greek Pinot Noir. All expertly prepared and timely delivered. Meal was delicious and the service professional.

    The restaurant is always busy, and for good reason. The food is outstanding - the selection of fresh fish on display to be chosen by the dinner is always extensive. The ambience - what can I say - is Greek! Lively, but somehow relaxing. Great karma, great food, excellent wine list, wonderful service - always there when you need them, never when you don't. Love the place, we're regulars when we're in town. Highly recommend

    The food is really good but on the motrher's day brunch a very limited menu. It's kind of pricey and seems a little stingy. A $49 brunch should include coffee and a mimosa. The drinks were good and I took advantage of the $22 unlimited drink service. My husband had tea for $6.00. Overall, we had a good time but I'm not sure I will be coming back.
