    Had two great experiences here, twice in one week. Perfectly attentive service (our water glasses never got lower than one-third full!), and very tasty dishes. Highly recommend the avocado feta spread, the scallops, and the crispy, gooey “cigars.” And the Greek salad, with its especially large fresh chunks of cucumber, tomato, and feta, is refreshing and hearty. Will be back soon.

    I have to be honest I was really looking forward to eating at this restaurant. I’ve never eaten there with my two friends. I haven’t seen in a long time. I looked at the pictures and the food and the place looked absolutely beautiful. Showed it to my two girlfriends they thought it looked the same as I thought. We got to the space and it is so small. The tables are on top of each other, and I kept getting knocked into every time a bus boy or something by the back of my chair and my chair was getting knocked into. I also didn’t appreciate that they kept coming over and I felt like they were trying to get us out of the table so they could flip it to give to somebody else which I find rude and classless. I was not impressed with the food at all. I usually go back to a restaurant many times over. This is a one and done. I also didn’t like the attitude of the staff that worked there not warm and friendly at all. When I explain to, I don’t know if she was a waitress maître d that I didn’t like them cleaning off the dishes while I’m still sitting there she got highly insulted really. I really thought that the customer is always right especially when I’m dining in your establishment!

    We had an early res and the place was empty. Tables are a bit close together and made for a difficult exit as we left when the place was full. That being the only negative, the food was delicious, our server was very attentive & the $60 weekly dinner was a huge portion of food for each course. Would def recommend!! :)

    Saw this restaurant online and it looked beautiful. When we showed up we were seated in a makeshift glass shed which was freezing and overcrowded. I spent my birthday dinner staring at the garbage on the curb, and watching dogs go to the bathroom right next to where we were seated. The heaters were so uncomfortable because they made one side of your face feel like it was on fire, and the rest of your body was freezing. We asked to be moved and they told us that they would move us when a table was finished. I watched numerous tables get up and others sat there. Our server Adam was great, and so was the food. So my advice would to be to make sure before you go that you’ll be seated indoors, especially when it’s 20 degrees outside. Spent $900 to sit with my jacket on all night.
