"Three out of five of us opted for the gyros wrapped in pita, while one person had spanakopita and another chose spaghetti and meatballs. The gyros, made from beef and lamb, were well-spiced with a delightful garlic flavor that lingered nicely. The spanakopita was a tad salty, but still enjoyable. The meatballs served with the spaghetti were massive, had a great texture, and the sauce was excellent—better than Rao's marinara, in fact. One suggestion I have for the gyros is to serve them over a bed of basmati rice instead of fries for dinner. Fries with dinner just seems a bit cheap and half-hearted. For lunch, sure, they’re fine, but for dinner, I think a gyros platter would elevate the meal. And please include a side of tzatziki sauce for the rice; everything tastes better with it! Just a heads-up—don’t ask the young servers if it’s tzatziki or mast-o-kayer; they likely won't know the difference. I’ll definitely be returning, so make reservations in advance! The prices range from $17 to over $30, with seafood and steaks landing on the higher end. The adult beverages were decent, but priced in a way that makes you want to stick to just one or two, especially since you'll need to drive. And absolutely don’t skip dessert! As soon as you walk in, the dessert case is right in front, allowing you to browse while you wait for your table. This is a great strategy because even if you’re full, you’ll want to take home a slice of something. I indulged in the choclava, which is chocolate-coated baklava, for breakfast—it was the weekend, after all! It paired wonderfully with my morning coffee. Plus, I did some yard work afterward to work off those calories. Parking? Make sure to make reservations ahead of time. You can’t drive around the back of the building due to dumpsters blocking that area. As for wheelchair accessibility, I believe there are ramps to help get up the curb, but I wouldn’t rely solely on that. Here are my ratings: **Service:** 5/5 **Food:** 5/5 **Atmosphere:** 5/5 **Recommended dishes:** Dolmades, Bread and Hummus, Gyros Sandwich, Baklava **Parking:** Plenty available with free parking lot."

"Antica Napoli is amaziiiiing! My wife and I did a little tour of pizza in Gettysburg to prep to order pizza for our rehearsal dinner : Antica Napoli was the best of the 5 places we tried hands down, not only for their delicious pizza but the italian sub! I'm a huge hoagie person and their sandwich is delicious. The owner is so incredibly friendly as well! We ordered a lot for our rehearsal (somewhere around 15 pizzas plus salads, sandwiches, and mozzarella sticks and it was all just as delicious as when we ate it there in the shop. Thank you for the wonderful food!!"

"This restaurant has great reviews, it is split between the tavern and a separate restaurant which features fine dining. We decided to try the tavern, which one of the staff had recommended us to actually check out Appalachian brewing instead? stating we would not care for the atmosphere. When we got there, everything looked nice. The hostess asked us to follow her and we proceeded down two sets of stairs into an underground cellar environment. It was extremely tight, like eating with other individuals not in your party tight. Myself and my husband would have been placed arm and arm with another couple already enjoying their meal. We ended up excusing ourselves and said the good reviews are not worth having additional date night members. Way too many people stuffed in a dark cellar environment, we did end up taking the employee recommendation and went to Appalachian brewing and it was delicious and priced right with more then enough room to spread out and not have dinner with people you don’t know."

"We were excited to see an Irish pub, only to be disappointed with substandard food. The Shepard pie nachos were horrible. They tasted like canned taco meat, poured on soggy homemade chips. I did see a couple of pieces of corn. However, I was left confused as I searched desperately for some type of gravy. Maybe they ran out? Onto the chicken salad sandwich, the seasoning was nonexistent. We thought, adding some cole slaw might pep it up some. We quickly realized, that did not help. We left, unsatisfied. This place is not even in the same league as Dobbin House and Sweney Tavern."

"We started with the Brussels sprouts appetizer, which were tasty but slightly overcooked and warm rather than hot. He then took our drink orders: I chose the high-proof flight for $13, which included 5 different tastings, while my wife opted for the cocktail flight. However, when the flights arrived, I was shocked to find that the total amount across all five tastings was less than three-quarters of an ounce. Each pour was inconsistent, and I could tell that they hadn’t used a jigger for accuracy. When I inquired about this, the waiter explained that this was standard procedure for high-proof spirits. I replied politely but expressed my disappointment. When he checked in again, I simply asked about our food. Our meal arrived shortly thereafter: I had a chicken sandwich with fries, which was well-cooked and seasoned, and the fries were crispy, although also just warm. My wife ordered the chimichurri bowl without meat, and she found it well-prepared and flavorful, though hers was also only warm. The waiter came back once more to check if we needed anything, and since we were both out of water, we asked for a refill, which he provided, but again, we had to request it. It’s worth noting that the restaurant wasn't busy; there were around 12 to 15 patrons inside and only four outside, including us. I noticed that the bourbon was priced at $100 per bottle, which seems steep for a 4.5-year-old spirit. I might have considered purchasing a bottle if I had been able to enjoy a proper tasting. I was really looking forward to trying this place, but unfortunately, it didn’t meet our expectations. I also didn’t see an option on the menu for ordering a pour of the bourbon, though I might have missed it. Overall, I left with a disappointing first impression."
