    This was my first visit. Two of us had the chicken souvlaki salad and one had the gyro salad. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the service received, I was worried about parking but I was able to find something nearby (2 min walk) and that worked out perfect. We'll definitely dine here again!

    Other than a bland-tasting stuffed flounder, food was delicious, the atmosphere was comfortable, & the prices were reasonable, especially for Old Town
