Just stay away.. it is a complete waste of your time and money. They charge way above average prices for low level food and cocktails. The food looks like it was prepared a week ago, the cocktails (tried two) taste like cough syrup. We can go on and on.... Just stay away.

THE RUDEST MANAGER IN THE WORLD…EVER!! My wife and i were visiting from out of town and were looking forward to a Greek meal this evening and walked into Servia just after 5pm when it was quiet. In fact, there was only one client in the dining room. As we walked in, a man who was at the host booth looked up and saw us and then immediately turned away and went to sit at a table where a young woman was seated. He continued In a conversation with the woman who appeared to be in the midst of a job interview. I could overhear much of the discussion, so i found it extremely unprofessional that anyone would conduct a job interview in the dining area of a restaurant right next to where customers come in. With his back to us, he continued the interview. The interviewee was attentive and responsible enough to notice that we were standing at the door waiting and asked the man to greet us, yet he did not even turn around and said to the woman “the hostess will take care of them”. We could hear voices in the back kitchen but there was no hostess in sight and he made no effort to call anyone out. After waiting for nearly 5 minutes with no one even acknowledging our presence, i interrupted the interview and asked the man if he was the manager, and he responded “yes”. At that moment, i turned to the interviewee and asked her if she was seeking a job, to which she confirmed. I applauded her efforts to advise the “manager” that clients are waiting as i told her that is a very important trait in a restaurant greeter to greet clients promptly when they arrive. The manager appeared to turn away to ignore me but the decided to comeback to me with an offensive rather than an apology. Giving me the excuse that he was in the middle of an interview, i told him it doesn’t matter what you are in the middle of, you always greet the customer first and take care of them first before anything else. CUSTOMER SERVICE ALWAYS COMES FIRST BEFORE ALL ELSE!! He proceeded to kick me out of the restaurant, not that i was planning on staying anyway, and even threatened to call the Police, which was an empty threat. In his words, he told me to “get out of my building”! I asked for the owner and he told me that he “calls the shots” there. I advised the interviewee to be cautious in embarking on a working position with such an unprofessional “manager”. I cannot comment on anything else about this restaurant as i walked out. As a business owner, i caution the owner of Servia for retaining such an employee. Perhaps this manager should be working at a fast food restaurant at best…as a sweeper!

Quick seating, excellent service, great wine. Food tested great we had calamari and hummus for appetizers they were very tasty as well, i had the lamb shank which arrived steaming and hot. Lamb tasted great the sauce and veggies were tasty as well.. my son had the chicken i think he was s bit dissatisfied with portion thats whay i gave 4 stars but it was overall great experience and i would definitely comeback and also recommend this restaurant to anyone.
Glad we stopped in. Had a few sharing plates and a main dish and all were delicious. Of note were the grilled octopus and the fried Feta with the peppered honey. The stew main course was exceptional. Jordan was a great server and Sean makes a delicious deink.

Went out with 4 on a Saturday night. No hostess on arrival and took 10 minutes to be seated.Cocktails took 30 minutes to come out but were actually decent. Our waitress was well meaning but overall way understaffed. We attempted to buy a bottle of wine from the wine list but after 20 minutes and multiple people “checking on it” they in fact didn’t have the bottle nor any of the others we asked for. Not sure why a wine list was even supplied.Appetizers were decent we had zucchini chips and spanakopita which was tasty but cold inside. Saganaki salad was terrible and soggy.Entrees took another hour. Salmon was decent but far overpriced for something that you could make at home. One of the entrees wasn’t delivered with the others and we cancelled before we left.How anyone could say that this is a dining experience they would recommend to others is absolutely mind blowing.

My girlfriend and I really enjoyed the authentic Greek food options and what we chose was delicious. The drinks were also above average! The ambience wasn't quite what we expected, for example the lights were bright and there was no music or background noise. There was only one waiter was serving the entire dining area so took a bit longer than expected to get orders in. Would definitely recommend takeout over dining in here

Not sure why this place doesn't get busy! The food is awesome and unlike anything else you can get for Mediterranean food I'm Boston. Highly recommend and the bartender Sean is the best!

It is a crime that this restaurant has 4.4 stars only. Food is top quality. Tahini and hummus are always good.
Such an interesting place! Have been there 4-5 times. Workday nights, the place is almost empty but the service and the food are great. The Mediterranean sampler is a must. Lots of delicious dips - hummus, eggplant, muhammara, spicy feta - all tasty - a great way to start the meal. House made pita is warm and perfect vehicle for dipping. The moussaka tastes freshly made, was mouth-watering. Nice recommendation on the white wine, as well. Can't go wrong with whatever you choose...

We enjoyed an exceptional dining experience with our group of seven, which included four children. Our hostess, Jordan, demonstrated remarkable knowledge, care, and attentiveness during our Friday evening dinner. The culinary highlights featured delectable plates such as the specialty house burger, moussaka, salmon, and lobster pasta. The overall service was superior, and the quality of the food surpassed our expectations. We highly recommend this establishment to anyone visiting Boston!

It is a great Mediterranean option near Quincy Market. The hummus was great, but I don’t think I will be repeating the Greek & Chips, it wasn’t bad, yet it didn’t shine at all. The service was great, and the ambience is not my style so something to improve from my point of view.

Neat and clean Greek restaurant. Priced reasonably and with authentic bread, lamb, and octopus.
