Very good Greek food (this is not your copycat souvlaki/fries/salad diner) but a legitimate restaurant.
Many recipes are top tier and authentic. The fried tomatoes, zucchini, octopus, fish of the day were my favorites. Some interesting modern twists (yogurt shots, etc.). Good wine.
Service was very nice (some other reviews—though I don't mean to dismiss them—may be from when the restaurant was opening and had some hiccups).
We went for lunch, the restaurant is very comfortable, and nicely decorated and we were warmly greeted by the owner. The food was excellent, very nicely plated with generous amounts of food. We would definitely come back again!
Lunch for two was excellent. Lamb entree and gyro wrap with shared grilled octopus starter and a dessert that I cannot recall the name of. The restaurant was very busy. The manager candidly told us the first weeks for the new restaurant didn’t go as smoothly as hoped. Everything we experienced suggested they have got the place running properly now. We will be back to try their dinner options.
