This was our second time here and it was as enjoyable as our first. Such a cute (not cookie cutter or chain) little restaurant tucked into an out-of-the-way area, very good homemade food, attentive service. Caroline made our service experience a great one.

Our server was really friendly, the food was great and the ambience was lovely. We ordered the meze platter and had more than enough to eat. Excellent place, I’m looking forward to trying some of the other things on the menu.

This was our first time at Molos Taverna and we had an excellent experience starting with the server who described the restaurant and menu giving us a excellent understanding of the family nature of the restaurant and variety of dishes offered. We really enjoy Greek food and this was one of the best Greek restaurants we have been too for authentic Greek food. We stared with grilled octopus that was perfectly grilled and wonderfully plated giving not only our taste buds but also our eyes pleasure. Octopus can get chewy very easily and this was tender with excellent spicing. My entree was a chef's special - braised lamb shank with by favorite - Greek potatoes. Both lived up to my anticipations. Tender flavorful lamb easily removed from the bone and accompanied with beautiful buttery/lemon potatoes cooked to perfection. All diners at our table had similar experiences with their dishes. We also loved the dessert. Molos Taverna will be a place that will be on our return regularly list.
