Unfortunately, this restaurant changed and not for the better. The food came out dry and cold . I Ordered red snapper with lemon potatoes. Came out dry terrible. Coffee was cold. The galaktpouriko a Greek custard pastry was not good either. I do not know what has happened to this restaurant as it was good at one point. The service was not good kept trying to get our waiter but was everywhere else but where we were anyway I will not be back here.

Food was good but service was a bit lacking. I don't believe that we had a regular server; seemed to rotate which made the service a bit inattentive. Would reemphasize that the food and ambiance were good though. Definite 4 or higher if they improve the service

Food is always freshly prepared and service is 1st rate. 1st level of restaurant can get very noisy when full so we always ask to eat upstairs.

I am sober 9 mos. I have not had real Greek Food in 2 years. I walked into and my Retsina was cold and waiting 1 part wine 10 parts water! Maria my Sons Godmother and I laughed so hard I love her so much. Of course we are maturing like a fine glass of wine..we split the Bronzino with the spanacorizo! I also had to have the Tarama! Obviously Mike Parlamis, John Manos and Daddy we screwing with us! My I pad started screaming and we couldn’t shut it up. The entire staff came to the rescue! Axia is loaded with Angels…
