Standout dishes include lamb sliders, chicken souvlaki, and flaming cheese. Consistent high-quality experiences make it a beloved local favorite.

Server Nick was good and attentive. The decaf coffee was not hot but we didn't complain/didn't want to wait for a fresh pot. The space isn't very big for the amount of people in it and acoustics aren't great.

All the food was delicious, the waiter was very attentive and pleasant. There was one thing I particularly liked about this restaurant, the staff obviously enjoys working there. I commented on that to our server and he said yes, and he said that started at the top that the management was very good.

The vegetable plates we had were also delicious across the board - Brussels sprouts, broccolini, spanakopita, hush puppies! I was kind of crossfaded and found the atmosphere very pleasant. I wasn't sure why there was a little dog at the table next to me but it was being very polite.

Octopus was tender, but more potato than octopus. Pork belly was awful- gray and rubbery, thinly sliced kind of like scalloped chicken instead of a crispy chunk. Also on a bed of potatoes. Harissa and feta are fantastic, excellent pita. Anything with lamb was great, nice and spicy. Wish we had been warned the dishes are dinner sized not mezze, we ordered two per person and it was way too much food. Also it was all served at once, not like tapas, felt very very rushed. I asked our server to slow it down and he said he couldn’t. Restaurant has stone and tile everywhere, it is LOUD.

Only complaint is that we ordered one chicken dish that was huge so we had way too much food. They should tell you when you’re at a tapas type restaurant that a dish is that generous! Overall the food was great. Spanakopita is the best around
