"**Pros:** The menu offered a nice variety of dishes, and everything we tried was quite tasty. The indoor space was roomy, with plenty of shaded outdoor seating as well. The decor was appealing, and the staff were friendly. **Cons:** Unfortunately, the service was incredibly slow and there seemed to be a lot of confusion surrounding our order. We had to wait until after we finished our appetizer for the bread and butter to arrive! Additionally, the bathroom was not well-maintained; both the paper towel holder and the cover box were quite dusty. When we ordered lemonade for the kids, we were served water with just a splash of lemonade instead. When we pointed this out, the staff insisted it was lemonade. Eventually, when I requested a replacement, they told us the lemonade machine was broken—clearly expecting us not to notice or complain. The mac and cheese was supposed to be made with elbow pasta, as described on the menu. Instead, it arrived with penne topped with a white sauce and cheese, not the mac and cheese sauce we were looking forward to. The staff were eager to clear our table, and when I took my child to the restroom in the middle of my salad, I returned to find my salad had been taken away. Additionally, the server had difficulty understanding English, which led to delays when we asked for utensils after they had removed them from our table. After enduring all these issues and delays, we were presented with the check, which included a tip automatically added that was over 20%. As we were leaving, the owner approached us and requested an additional tip, claiming that larger parties were subject to higher charges, despite no "service fee" being mentioned on the check. Ironically, the tip they had already included was actually more than the formula she was explaining (2x the tax). She insisted that the tip was unrelated to the poor service we had experienced and stood there until we ended up doubling the tip. **Vegetarian Options:** Limited choices. **Kid-Friendliness:** There is a kids' menu, but the mac and cheese might not meet expectations for either kids or adults. **Parking:** There are three parking lots available."

Dinner entries are not cheap, but they include salad which is nice.I’ve got Kalamaki Trio which is skewers of three different meat types. Meat was prepared just right, grilled vegetables on the side were great too, portion was enormous, have to take home most of it.

LOVE TASSO 'S!It 's literally a Mom Pop Restaurant.Great Food, Service, and Atmosphere with a full bar. (where the friendly locals sit)Bartender Kostas, son of Tasso and Maria, will whip up an exotic beverage or suggest a great wine to pair with your dinner.Everything on the menu rocks!My go-to is the Lamb Chops or Shank, Salmon Picatta, Short Ribs or Moussaka.And they 're open 'till 10 Thursday-Saturday!

Lamb Shank was amazing as mentioned elsewhere. Otherwise Im a little conflicted. I want to equally advocate for the calamari and the dolmas. Calamari had the perfect level of crunch to tenderness on the inside. Dolmas had great umami.That being said the amount of food you get with entree soup salad bread is a a ton of food. Adding the apps on top may not be necessary practically. Still this is a great problem to have because the food was so good! View menu

Maria is phenomenal and great friendly service.Good solid family run business.Greek gyro meat some slices were little on dry side while others were tasty and juicy; however, did taste very good.The greek salad was super colorful, crisp looking, delightful taste, smothered with Greek cheese crumbles. Beautiful tomatoes, big olives, big fat cucumbers. Yum.The gyro bread slices warm and crunchy perfect.Ice tea refreshing.Overall yummy for the tummy.PS the bar looks amazing.

This place is overall pretty mid but the service is excellent and everything was served to us very quickly. The waitress was nice and she made sure to cater to our every need. We got a really nice spread off the dinner menu (which was available to us during lunch hours) and got a Greek spread platter, vegetarian mezze, and a side of skewers which all came with pita. The food was super filling and I enjoyed the chicken skewers with the pita and several dips. I might come here for a sandwich or a pasta special for dinner again sometime but I would consider Tasso's to be average dining, especially for the price.
