Chef Eugenia Hobson and her team prepare authentic Greek dishes served attentively in a breezy Aegean-inspired atmosphere. Our signature dishes include the grilled octopus, the kolokithokeftedes (stuffed zucchini fritters), the lavraki whole fish (branzino) filleted table side, and the arni giouvetsi (lamb shank with orzo). Our selection of nine desserts are all made fresh daily in-house and feature Greek classics such as the baklava and the galaktoboureko. Our wine list is meticulously curated on a seasonal basis by son Philip Hobson selecting from Greece's top vineyards who produce indigenous varietals such as Assyrtiko & Xinomavro, and western grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon & Sauvignon Blanc. Our beer selection focuses on bottled Greek brews while our bar is fully stocked to serve both classic cocktails and signature drinks inspired by the best bars in Athens. Outdoor tables are available in the summer months.

    First time to this restaurant after several recommendations by friends. Everything was outstanding down to our server Noah. Food was delicious (shared the branding) and the triple dip appetizer. Ambience was warm and inviting. Noise level was reasonable. Definitely a repeat!

    Mama Eugenia(Shirlington) never disappoints. Folks this is authentic greek cuisine. The food is cooked to perfection every visit. Beautifully plated and the service is top notch. The manager Adonis warmly greets his guests and assures that you have a wonderful dining experience.

    As usual, the food was great. Service was fairly good. Had to ask about my husband’s entree bc the rest of the party had been served several minutes before. I specifically asked for my soup and salad to be served when his entree came. And although we were seated all the way in the back, the noise level was ridiculous and we could barely hear the others at our table for normal level of conversation. Please see if you can provide some better soundproofing.

    The food here is very good - varied - lots of options for everyone and excellent vegetarian choices. Food is fresh and flavorful and the decor is like being in a Greek villa. My only complaint is that the noise level is off the charts. The acoustics in there are so bad - every conversation is amplified and you have to scream to be heard by your own dinner party. I do not recommend if you are sitting inside and looking for a quiet dining experience. Outside dining is better.

    Wonderful place with great food. Very homey. The only remark I have about the ambiance: the ceiling lights (recessed lights) are too bright and “cold white”. I would prefer them to be dimmed and bulbs more warm color. It would make the place more cozy. Overall excellent experience.
