"Just a fantastic spot that you might totally walk by not realizing it it is a premier dining experience. Staff is warm and welcoming. The food is next level. The grill octopus comes with a sort of salad of red onions, capers, roasted red peppers and, if I'm not mistaken, a light tahini sauce. Just next level. The lamb empanadas are incredible. The cocktail program is well thought out and very balanced.Vegetarian options: We have a family member with a pepper allergy, and we love the place so much we wondered if he might be able to enjoy it as well.

Absolutely loved this place. We discovered it via The Infatuation, which rarely disappoints, and this was a great recommendation. The food is excellent and well-priced. The vibe is fun and service friendly. Can't wait to go back!

The food is wildly great! I ordered for pickup and it was ready super quickly. If you're looking for a vegetarian option, I highly recommend the lemon potatoes and the spinach pie- I'm still drooling even thinking about it!Vegetarian options: The lemon potatoes and the spinach pie were simply divine!

I had a wonderful dinner at this restaurant. I ordered the octopus platter, which was very satisfying. They accommodated my request to substitute the beet salad for the regular salad. The octopus was cooked perfectly and the portion was generous. The staff was incredibly friendly and even gave me a complimentary piece of baklava for dessert. Thank you for a fantastic dining experience! I will definitely be returning when I am in town again.

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant for a boozy brunch. The price was very reasonable, especially for the $25 boozy brunch option I chose. I enjoyed a delicious mimosa with passion fruit flavor. The Grilled Halloumi Cheese was a perfect start to my meal and the Greek Omelette with feta, vegetables, and loukaniko pork was flavorful and satisfying. The food and service were both excellent, and I would definitely recommend this restaurant. View menu

Food is amazing. There is nothing on the menu that isn't good. Their spicy feta and fried pita chips are addictive. I'm not a gyro person but their hot gyro with lamb and spicy feta just no words to explain how good it is. The staff is always amazing. Great place for family friends. Even if your a picky eater trust me you will definitely love the food here! Love that they also have a nice vegetarian selection. Happy hour all day too! Lunch special are a great price if you don't want to do dinner.

We arrived at the restaurant around 10pm, well past dinner time, and ended up staying until 1am. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious! My personal favorite was the Greek fries, which came in a generous portion. I also loved the sweet and beautiful drink I ordered, although I unfortunately forgot its name. It began with an L and contained tequila, if that helps at all. Feel free to check the photos if you need to show the waiter a picture to identify the drink. In addition to the Greek fries, we also shared and ordered calamari, brussel sprouts, grilled halloumi, and grilled octopus.

"When we called to reserve a table, no one informed us that there was a dining time limit of 1.5 hours. My friend wanted to invite more people to join us for dinner, but I was unsure if everyone would agree to the minimum charge of $60, including taxes and tips. I confirmed a reservation for 7 people during my second call, but ultimately, only 6 of us showed up. The table we were given was quite small, making it uncomfortable for six people, especially with the mandatory minimum spending of $60, as well as a 20% tip. For just two people, the minimum tip is 18%. I was confused about the dining time limit—was it two hours or 1.5? The party area was limited to just the backyard for additional seating. I was with friends who didn’t know the group well, and we arrived early at 3 PM, but we couldn’t wait until 6:30 PM. That’s why we ended up sitting at a separate table for two. Unfortunately, the restaurant didn’t seem to care and couldn’t arrange for us to be seated closer together. We had no choice in the matter. To make matters worse, the female waiter had a poor attitude. It felt like we were dining in a sidewalk market. She questioned another girl who served me ponzu sauce, apparently because I looked impatient when I saw her face. Her attitude only worsened after that. It seems like they need to train their employees better, as they seem unaware of how to provide good service. As for the food, it was just okay, typical of basic Japanese cuisine. There were too many restrictions! Customers are forced to adhere to the restaurant’s rules and limitations. I cannot recommend this place unless someone is specifically looking for a fast-food experience. In short, I don’t think I’ll be returning next time."
