I was visiting for the weekend and came here with some friends on a Saturday night for dinner. We had an exceptional experience! The dolmas and soup were my favorite and our server Jay J was the best!

The service was abysmal as they didn't have enough staff. The manager could not even read the names on his tablet properly to check open table reservations in. After a very long wait we had to leave with a packed entree as they took so long. The valentines fixed menu was a joke. While they reduced the menu for efficiency (thereby taking away many vegetarian options) their service issues killed any efficiency. The notion of taking the same menu that is there everyday and super charging for Valentine's Day with no change in the quantity or quality of the menu is an even bigger joke. I guess the final joke is on folks like us who go out to these places on a special night.

This is a nice place with helpful employees. However, we visited on Valentine's Day and the menu was different from the online one. The lemon soup was very good. Good, but not outstanding. May try once more.

We are here for dinner a few weeks ago. All servers were very helpful and friendly and made accomodations for me for gluten free. Portions were large and the food was all delicious. Will definitely come back for authentic Greek food!

I have dined here four times, ordering a wide variety of dishes, and everything is perfectly cooked and delicious. I’m kinda amazed this place is not always packed. If you’ve ever been to Greece and loved the food, you need to dine here. If you just enjoy Greek food in general, you need to dine here. If you’ve never had Greek food, then you realllly need to dine here. It’s rare that I enjoy a restaurant this much!

We finally made our way to Pylos last night and had a delicious dinner. Service was excellent and food was incredibly fresh and tasty. The warm pita and sun-dried tomato spread was yummy as was the avgolemono soup and spanakopita. The chicken in the souvlaki was very moist and juicy and I loved the inclusion of potatoes in the moussaka, something that isn’t always done but to me, gives the dish balance and makes it a bit more substantial. The bechamel on top was rich and creamy just like mom’s. Will return for gyros soon!

Great great service and food. It can be tough to find a place for vegans and omnivores but this place fits the bill. Food that is very tasty, healthy and filling. Nothing fell short of my high standards.

My husband and I both ordered the rack of lamb. I ordered medium rare and it came out medium. They immediately corrected their mistake and made another one within minutes to my liking. My husband ordered rare and it came out perfect. They included a rice pudding for their mistake. The waiter and staff are wonderful; and the food is delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant!

Super food - we focused on the small plates, so could have a wide sampling. Only the saganaki disappointed- very charred & seemed abnormally salty. Very attentive, friendly service.

Best Greek place I have ever went to. The food was flavorful and fresh. I can't wait to come back! We all loved the food so much. Oh and the staff was beyond friendly. Will come back when I am in town.
