This review is based on the (lack of) service. We had no food to speak of since no one ever came to take our order. Was hoping to have a nice Easter dinner with my family here. Found out that they were only offering a fixed menu dinner with two options, which were both pricey - $75 or $85. Since it was Easter and we had already decided to go here, we decided to splurge. We made reservations, and when we arrived, we got seated right away with menus and water. However, after that moment, no one ever returned to our table. We watched waiters help all the tables around us, but none came to our table to greet us, or let us know that they were going to take our order soon, see if we had any questions about the menu, or to simply take our order (which would've been quite easy since there were only 2 options to choose from). We waited for 15 minutes with not a single person coming by our table or acknowledging our presence. The restaurant was not very busy and if there was a legitimate reason for the delay (short-staffed, etc) , at the very least someone could've come by to let us know. I did note that we were the only people of color in the restaurant, and even if that had nothing to do with the lack of service, the lack of service definitely enhanced the discomfort. In any case, we were hungry and getting increasingly irritated, so we left. Since we were on Rockville Pike, we had plenty of places to choose from and ended up having a delicious dinner in the next shopping plaza over for a third of the price and an attentive waitstaff.

We made a reservation but walk-ins got priority. The chicken and shrimp were both over cooked.

Food was good. It took 20 minutes for someone to acknowledge our table. The octopus could have been grilled after cooking. It was tender and tasted delicious but it looked like a steamed dingleberry. The cucumber yogurt dip and the eggplant dip was delicious. I ordered the lamb chop entree. It came with three lamb chops. They were not cooked medium rare. They were medium well and cut very poorly. The loin portion was macerated around the edges. The potatoes that came with it were good. On to the MAIN part of the review. Someone at a table behind me got saganaki and they almost lit my hair on fire. Im not sure if the rude/major attitude service is part of the experience ( and I did my best to embrace it) but the older gentleman servers acted as if we were a total annoyance being at their restaurant. Like it was torture to serve us.....and the kitchen closed at 9pm on a friday. Good greek food... delightful atmosphere.....bring your thick skin.

Consistently good food. I go for the seafood, which is always cooked just right, and which is accompanied by seasonings and sauces with classic Greek flavors that complement and don't overpower. The meat dishes don't disappoint either. the moussaka is near perfect. It's a great place leisurely conversation: not too noisy and never too rushed.

My wife and I made a last minute decision to go out to dinner and reserved through Open Table. We were seated promptly and had plenty of choices from the menu. The food was delicious.

We Haven't been to Mykonos in a long while. Our total experience was very good, and we will return again much sooner! The restaurant was understaffed this Monday night with only two people for a number of guests, but it didn't become a problem because the head waiter hustled his tail off. I complemented him on the great job he did. The food was outstanding, starting with the fresh, warm bread and seasoned olive oil. We ordered small plates and shared and each of our dishes surprised! Add in a well decorated "Greek restaurant" and a reasonably priced meal, and you have an excellent restaurant.
Was very good food and very good service. Was a bit surprised at the credit card surcharge surprise when my card was brought back. It would have been appropriate to tell me that will be added when my card was taken and given me the option to pay cash. Wasn't worth asking about when my card was returned. I don't know why business owners don't include the cost of credit cards in the normal cost stack when figuring the price of their entrees since most people use and prefer credit cards.

The good is excellent as is the service. After skipping indoor dining during the pandemic, my return brought back fond memories. Jason is still there and takes great care of his diners.

Picture Mykonos Island with its incredibly picturesque white buildings with sky-blue roofs and accents and stone streets, smaller than Santorini but with restaurants and shops just as photogenic. If you can imagine stepping into one of the beautiful restaurants there, then you have a good picture in mind of the Mykonos Grill. The menu is outstanding for the variety of selections, featuring traditional Greek recipes from appetizers to desserts, with several seafood and lamb entrees. I had the excellent lamb shanks, and I enjoyed every tender bite of the large and perfectly seasoned shank on a bed of noodles. The restaurant had a lively crowd, so I did not take pictures except for my food. I saw on the menu, and I think I saw being delivered one of the whole fish stuffed with crab entrees that I will be going back to try the next time, and that will be very soon. I consider this restaurant a "reward myself" top choice and a place I would recommend to anyone that has traveled or would love to travel to the Aegean Islands and Coasts of Greece.Parking: There is a free parking garage on the same side of the street.

I liked the decor and bustling vibe of the restaurant. The food was just okay - some things (spanikopita, potatoes) better than others (mushrooms, eggplant). Unfortunately part of my meal was not hot when it should have been, and the dessert included an unpleasant walnut shell. They offered to give me another dessert, but I declined, and it remained on the bill. Our waiter was a bit brusk but I sense that is the tradition here.
