We have been fans of VASO’s since they opened. As a Greek-American, I am always on the hunt for a great Greek meal. Sadly, we believe Vaso’s has slowly declined since the owner (Vaso) retired. We have eaten there twice in the past month - and took guests once. None of us thought it was very good. Food was very average all around. And decor could also use some freshening up. Still hoping they can pull it together. Or bring back Vaso!!

We made a reservation for 5 PM but they did not hold/reserve a table for us. The place is small and they did the best they could, but there is really only one large table. It was a disappointing since we were in time and made the reservation far in advance online and even called the restaurant to make sure they had our reservation. The table service and food were good.

Loud and freezing in the restaurant. Food was not so good. My dish was very oily and butter which was the only flavors I could taste in the pasta and the shrimp dish. My dining companions stated something similar but some of their dishes tasted better than my dish. Service was good when you could get the server to come to the table.

Friendly, local neighborhood place where you can come as you are to grab some great food for pretty fair prices. The service is always friendly and I love how much they get into decorating for holidays. Wish they had a coffee window for the mornings when I'm walking my dog because they are located perfectly for a coffee place.

I came into town for work and ordered delivery to my hotel because I didn’t want to bother with walking in the cold. Food was delivered in a timely manner but it was just…not worth the price. Gyro meat was dry, pita was thin and didn’t taste fresh. The Coke can I ordered wasn’t cold at all. No utensils or napkins to be found.

This little restaurant is a gem. We were there for lunch during Restaurant Week and had the recommended 4-course meal. The portions were huge and had plenty leftover for that evening's dinner. I highly recommend the Bronzino. Delicious. The service was excellent. The staff were very attentive and quick to remove used, empty dishes. Glad we made the trip from Maryland to enjoy a great meal.

Wonderful photos and stories of the Asian people who settled in that area! I enjoyed seeing the pictures and speaking with the young folks who worked there very much.

A quintessential neighborhood restaurant with very friendly staff who are eager to please. Menu is not extensive but varied enough to suit most palates. relatively quiet dining space that is nicely appointed and unassuming. Prices are reasonable. Vegetables were seriously overcooked while the "protein" content of the meals we ordered was nicely rendered. Word to the wise -- a 20% gratuity is added to the bill.

This place is SO good. How did it take us this long to try it? Don't know, but we will 100% be back.

Food is good in this unassuming restaurant; service is great. I was able to get parked on the street but am not sure if there’s other parking. It’s a comfortable setting with a focus on the customer. I think the one thing that would be a little better is more variety on the menu, but the food is delicious. I had chicken ala Francaise. My wife raved about her branzini fish. And my son had the bifteki.
