Some of the best red snapper I’ve ever had! Wonderful experience. The staff is friendly and accommodating. We had a wonderful time for my father’s birthday. We made a reservation on the phone and it was a seamless process getting seated. We ordered octopus and Greek salad too which was also top notch. Food came out quickly and was ultra fresh.Parking: Paid street parking

The food was excellent, Greek, the souvlaki were not exactly on a stick but had a very Greek taste. I liked it, similar to in Europe. The prices are higher, which I found surprising, that they call chicken gyros a kebab. I wonder how the Greeks feel about it, as it seems strange to me too.

We reserved a table on a very busy Thursday night. The management and wait staff were very accommodating and they also had live music. The food was great and the atmosphere was electric. Must try the grilled calamari! The loukoumades were amazing!

Went with a Greek friend and it was the best lamb chops they've had since the last time they were in Athens. They ran out of loukamades because it was the very end of the night so they brought out a giant piece of baklava instead. Solid meal and good portions for everything except the lamb chops (just 3 for $48, but very good).

Ordered the lamb kabob, seafood platter, lemon potatoes m, Everything was done very well. Wait staff was friendly. They give you fried dough at the end. The dining area is a little cramped, but the food is fresh. A great place for a special meal.
