    The food here is always consistent and tasty. The service is appropriately attentive without being in your space. This isn’t a cutting edge, hipster restaurant, but if you want a good meal with warm vibes, come here.

    This place is a gem for Greek cuisine. I visited with four work colleagues for lunch on a Tuesday. The food was fresh and delicious, the service was outstanding, and the ambiance was pleasant. The overall experience was more than I could have ever hoped for.

    Three of us had lunch today to celebrate a birthday. The waitstaff was kind, efficient and attentive. The food was delicious! We each had a sandwich and started with a mezze. I will definitely come again.

    We sat on the patio with heaters. Very comfortable. Food is delicious and cooked perfect as always! Chicken Athean my favorite, my husband loves the pork chop. 4 Lamb chops amazing! The green bean sides and lemon wedge is unique. Our waitress offered to serve a salad family style. Lemon vinaigrette arugula salad was extra good, loved the tomatoes, feta and gold raisins. Always finish with baklava à la mode. Excellent service 10+ serves with a smile and wine pours. Brought friends first time and loved it! You really feel like a guest!
