    Great people and service! The food isn't even close to authentic Greek food- did not enjoy the Pastitchio or the eggplant (was very tough), and a good bread basket would be a plus!!!

    Our meal event was dissapointing. I bar was set for an upscale dining experience. Opening glass of wine and cocktail very good. Appetizer was awesome Taramaslata, no pink dye and fresh ingredients. Entrès served promptly but extremely disappointing. We both ordered truffle fries as a side, both orders poor, my wifes had very litttle truffle topping. lamb chops were average, cooked correctly but a bit dry. Porkchop entrè was 2 thin chops ordered medium. The chops arrived to table well done. The expected upscale experience was ruined. $200 not well spent. I never complain unless something really wrong, and once you have to complain, event is ruined. I assume Cut 158 will not be any better since same owners own Mousa anns Cut 158.

    Michael, thank you for visiting our Taverna & the feedback. Pleased to hear you enjoyed your drinks and app. Our restaurant group prides ourselves on quality ingredients, service and atmosphere. I'd like to point out that our truffle parmesan fries do not have 'truffle topping'. That is parmesan cheese. The fries are tossed in truffle oil & parmesan. I would have welcomed the opportunity to explain that. Your server, Rebecca, refunded both fry orders to attempt to appease. Apologies, there was nothing wrong on our part there. Both the lamb and pork entrees came in as medium well. We grill both and haven't had any complaints. Again, I would have loved to address that on site. We are very gracious when given the opportunity. Cut 158 is an exceptional experience, don't rob yourselves of that.

    Excellent service by Nick. Outstanding saganaki, and excellent Greek salad and octopus. Spreads were ok, but not particularly flavorful. Taromosalata was best. Green beans were overcooked, gray, and tasteless. Greek wine - Kourps Nemia 2020 was good.

    Wonderful dining experience in downtown Joliet. Free parking, beautifully decorated, Chicago style ambiance in a unique old building. Basically Greek cuisine similar to Halstead St. in Chicago. Saganaki , grilled Octopus, Chicken kabobs, Moussaka, gyro platter was super, along with refreshing sangria and a great wine list. Great service, we loved it!!!
