   Service was outstanding and we loved the ambiance….but both my wife and my entrees were ‘just OK’. My lamb was bland and tough, my wife’s short ribs were bland as well. Our starters were very good though (lobster bisque & a salad). I really wish I could give a better overall review, but the entrees were very underwhelming……

   I had a fantastic dining experience at Dio Deka. This Greek-Mediterranean gem truly delivers on flavor and hospitality. The yogurt was absolutely delicious, and the sauce made with it was just as incredible—rich, tangy, and the perfect complement to the dishes. The little amuse-bouche surprises between courses were a great touch, making the meal feel extra special. As for the main dishes, the lamb chops were cooked to perfection—juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The meatballs were equally amazing, well-seasoned and so satisfying. On top of the great food, the service was outstanding. Our server was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made the experience even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for amazing Greek-Mediterranean food with warm hospitality.

   Normally a very good restaurant with great food and ambience. Not for Valentines. Restaurant nicely decorated but extra tables set up were wobbly in spite of the staff effort to fix. Music was nice touch but not set up properly, Servers did their best but too many people to accommodate. Food was the big issue, not the right temperatures. Cold appetizers and pasta (rubbery lobster); way over over cooked lamb chops (like jerky); dessert was the exception - really good; nobody offered coffee or port, A lot of areas to improve.

   Came for the Valentine's Day pre-fixe. Restaurant was fairly crowded; tables were packed in tightly. Food was ok; portions were small. Service was ok; waiter never smiled once and but was fairly attentive. Was charged a "venue fee" of 4% which was odd for a restaurant. Overall felt a little ripped off and will probably choose elsewhere next year.

   What a great surprise. Food and service were both excellent. I normally feel like restaurant experiences are not so great on celebration days because of limited menu options and lower food quality...but not today at Dio Deka! Ok, was a prix fixe menu, but I would not have turned down any of the options. Wife had the seared scallops and I the grilled octopus for starters. Loved how smoky and tender. Went well w/ the greek wine I got that was close to pinot noir. Next was lobster bisque, so creamy and flavorful with a little raft of lobster meat in the middle. For mains my wife had the lobster fettuccini and I the lamb chops. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Even deserts were good w/ a baklava and ice cream dish and chocolate type cake.

   Realizing it is a very busy night, our waitress wasn’t really attentive and took no time to explain the different courses that we were to receive. Never received any information on the Photo Booth until I asked about it. The filet mignon was cooked, medium rare to medium and was ordered Medium well. The fish plate that was received as an entrée wouldn’t have been one of my favorite things and doubt that I never ordered again that ambience was good. The vibe was good and this is normally one of our go to the servers and the bus boys were excellent And very attentive. Never did our waitress ask how our meals were and I’m not sure when the next time I will be back. I was a bit disappointed, especially after spending $500 on a bill for two people.

   Good food but predictable, super expansive and 4% cost of living adjustment on top of the pricey items.

    Place was too crowded. Tables too close together. Noise level was so high that dinner conversation was very difficult. Prices were way to high for the quantity and quality of the food. Not recommended.
