It was difficult to find, the name wasn’t obvious and one of the three numbers of the address had fallen off. With a reservation, we were initially seated in a booth facing a wall. It was our first time there so we asked to sit at a table where we could see the environment; we were moved, but sat at a table in a service station. I was disappointed that there wasn’t a Santorini white wine by the glass. I was disappointed in the Gluten Free options; not a single dessert choice. The gentleman clearing our table was rushed, inpatient, and invasive. There are better Greek restaurants in the city.

Amazing food. The scallop, dips and breads and tuna tartare were all amazing. Service was good in general if a little rushed. My issue is that the music got INSANELY loud at about 8pm. Like cannot talk between two people loud. 10pm fine. Make it a club but at 8 I'd still like to be able to have a conversation.

The ambiance was amazing. A nice cozy intimate setting that could be a good date night, family outing, or night on the town with friends. The food was superb and served family style. You get nice size portions to share, so be mindful. Overall 10/10 would definitely go back and would recommend.

Delicious food and lovely atmosphere. The lamb chops, meatballs, spanakopita, tuna tartare, and calamari were all fresh and I’d go back for all of them.
