I came here with my partner on a date and it was great! The food and iced caramel frappe was delicious. Our server was attentive and polite. We are planning our return! :)

Was looking for a quick bite to eat so walked here. There were plenty of empty tables like 15 or more. They told us to wait. When we asked about all the empty tables all over the restaurant they told us they are all reserved. We went to another restaurant next door, Lottsa Balls and sat down and ate outside where we were looking at The Greeks empty tables. We ate and left and still never saw anyone seated at those 15 tables for the past hour and a half. I don't think that is fair. Everyone tells me the Greek was good so we wanted to try it. But I won't go back again because of no customer service.

Authentic Greek food (I lived in Greece for one year). I opted for the Lamburger this visit. Yummy. Great service and atmosphere, too. Opa!

Had to walk out. Was seated than left sitting. Staff walked by and made no attempt to take order, bring bread, etc.

Unfortunately we won't be returning because of the credit card surcharge. Some Restaurants are raising their prices and also expecting the customers to pay to use their credit card. Many can't afford this practice. It's a shame because the food was good and the service excellent.

Visited The Greek on Main - appreciated the casual upscale vibe, easy reservations, and good service. The spreads we ordered for an appetizer were super fresh and very delicious! We were disappointed to learn the majority of the gyro options were exclusive to the lunch menu. We ordered the short rib and the lamb as entrees. The portions were huge, but the flavor left something to be desired. We will have to return for lunch next time.

It's "Joseph" (lol) and my pleasure. The thanks goes to my daughter, who has a Greek BF, and recommended you (lol). My two friends and I (who have discerning palettes), really enjoyed it.

I loved the food. It's very different. It was my first time experiencing Greek culinary. The cheese appetizer was soooo strong but good, the beet salad was great ( except for the goat cheese), the crab cakes i didn't like at all. the main dish was delicious. The desert was the best for me..they are not expensive and its BYOB.

Yesterday a friend and I made reservations at 3pm to dine here. My friend drove all the way from Denville. We were so excited because we love Greek food and the reviews were great. When we arrived the host wasn't very welcoming just asked for my name and sat us down in the back corner of the restaurant. It's important to note that the majority of the restaurant was very empty. After about ten minutes an Asian family comes into the restaurant and the host sits them right next to us. About 2 min later the host comes to OUR table and asked us if we wanted to move because the Asian family did not want to sit next to us. We told her that we were ok sitting where we were and we did not want to move because we were here first. We asked her why she was asking us to move when we were here first? She didn't give an explanation and just said," ok, you don't have to move if you don't want to" and walked off. We decided to cancel our food order and leave the restaurant. What she did was rude and disrespectful. The fact that she felt so comfortable honoring their request and decided to prioritize them over us spoke volumes. Especially, since we were there 10 min before they even arrived. I had never experience anything like that, EVER. Needless to say we will never go back and will not recommend. However, I will say that our waiter was wonderful. She was very sweet and kind to us and treated us with respect. We ended up going around the corner to MexiMoto a stunning restaurant, it was a packed house. We were welcomed, food was delicious but most of all we were treated with respect. It was very diverse and had good vibes there. Everyone was having a good time and no one seemed to care who they were sitting next to.Response to owner:I appreciate your response. But this was not a misunderstanding at all. The kids were not being loud. They hadn't even taken off their coats. The moment the family sat down the father immediately got up and requested for US to be moved. And your hostess never mentioned anything about the kids because this is simply not true. If she wanted to honor his request, she could have done so discreetly. She should have moved his family to the other side of the restaurant since it was empty. She should not have asked the customers that were seated 10 min prior to that family's arrival, who had already had water brought to the table, who had already ordered their food to move...simply because some entitled customers did not want to sit next to others. However, I appreciate your apology. I hope in the future things will be handled differently so that all of your customers feel welcomed, so that no other customers have to experience what we did.

Great place but even with a reservation we had to wait for service. Probably should have had a bit more help there, but that's expected for a popular place with a good rating so just relax and enjoy your time out. I had the lobster gyro which was delicious. The wife had the Lavraki which she raved about!
