We had such a lovely time at Kivotos. Five of us attended for a work celebratory lunch, and we were glad we did. We had the 'Share the Love' set menu which was amazing. I was thrilled to see that the drinks menu included a number of zero alcohol options. The staff were attentive and friendly and even when some of our party had to leave early, they carefully boxed up their desserts for us to take to them. We were ridiculously full after, so I recommend not having breakfast that day! But I will definitely be coming back again.

The food and service was exceptional. Authentic Greek food served in a warm and friendly venue. I could not have asked for a better experience. I only wish we had a local Greek band that could provide live music at such a lovely venue.

Overall our experience was average. We had the "share the love" meal option for 2 people. The dips wtih pita bread was the only item we really liked. The aranchini balls were overcooked or the oil they were cooked in wasn't fresh. The mixed grill was three different meats smothered in a mustard type sauce which made all the meats taste the same. The staff were friendly and the restaurant itself was nice, but that's where it ends.
