I was so happy to get to experience the dome. As a f&b manager myself I have nothing but kudos to give to this establishment. It was lovely from the first second we walked in until the moment we left; staff was so nice, calm and attentive despite it being busy. Food was so good. The decor is really cute too. I would 100 percent go back! Shout out to Isabella and team for doing such a wonderful job.

We loved it! We have been there before and we enjoyed it hence wanting to return -but this time it was just PERFECTION! For a Monday night- a nice vibe. Service was suburb (I'm in the industry- believe me I know and I critique!). The menu was so diverse-it was very hard to pick something because it all was so enticing and delicious. Entrees we had: salmon, scallops and a seafood with orzo (probably the best orzo I have eaten) We will absolutely return. And when I say service was great- I mean from when we walked in (the lovely hostess), to the bartender (where we had drinks beforehand) to our server and then the final goodbye from the Manager.

Our experience was amazing, a small but cozy place with a great variety of Mediterranean cuisine starting with Greek spreads with their warm bread, grilled octopus, their special fried burrata was excellent, then one of the most popular dishes was grilled branzino , shrimp Santorini and lamb chops, I highly recommended this restaurant , services are on point.

We have been visiting Mythos for many years and have never had a bad meal here. It continues to stand up to that standard. My favorite is the Branzino, always cooked to perfection.
