    A lovely gem of a restaurant! We were greeted by Diego, who spoke to us periodically through our meal, making sure everything was fine. We shared a Greek salad, which rivals one of our favorite restaurants in Florida! For our main courses, I had a huge piece of flounder prepared with tomatoes, onions potatoes and feta in a delicious wine sauce. My husband ordered the chicken kabob, which was juicy chunks of chicken with freshly grilled vegetables and basmati rice. We were treated by the owner to a sampling of incredible baklava and homemade cheesecake! We had to take home most of the dessert, due to being a little overstuffed from all the delicious food! I highly recommend PHILIA!

    definitely a must try !!! great dining experience !!! every morsel was just a little extra special. started with 2 dips and the grilled octopus.. the hummus was creamy and delicious. my husband says the octopus was one of the best he ever had. we followed that with a shrimp Santorini and a roasted chicken. both were terrific. the server/partner then brought us a greek yogurt cheese cake for us to try. it was one of the best cheese cakes i have ever eaten. drinks were great too !!! looking forward to returning soon. we'd give it a 10 out of 10.

    This was my second time at Philia in as many weeks. The service and food are fantastic, the portions are plentiful, and it’s an overall wonderful dining experience. The complimentary warm pita and flavorful spread on the table is a great way to start the meal. My friend and I split two salads and the plaki and chicken kabob. Everything was perfect - the vegetables were fresh and crisp, the sauces were balanced and flavorful, and the fish and meat were fresh and cooked perfectly. Shout out to Diego who is attentive and friendly, and truly cares about his restaurant and his customers. Looking forward to many more meals at Philia!!

    Delicious food. We were served by the owner who was very gracious. Some tables were extremely loud - perhaps acoustic ceiling panels would be a good idea. Otherwise, we loved it and will definitely try again.
