    The food is exceptional—every dish is absolutely delicious. The drinks are fantastic, and the entire staff is incredibly friendly. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a huge smile by the woman at the door (I’m sorry I didn’t catch her name). She has such a warm, welcoming energy that makes you feel right at home, and she checks in with you throughout the evening to make sure everything is perfect. As for the service, I highly recommend sitting with Justice. She’s incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and has the sweetest personality. You won’t be disappointed with her! We also love sitting at the bar, where we've had the pleasure of being served by two different bartenders—both are fantastic and make the best drinks. I can’t recall the name of the Peruvian bartender, but his Old Fashioned is one of the best we’ve ever had. I can't say enough good things about this place. Yes, it’s on the pricier side, but the quality of the food and the exceptional service make it absolutely worth every penny. In my opinion, there’s really no other Greek restaurant in Fort Lauderdale that compares—others feel more like fast food in comparison. Definitely make a reservation, as they get busy! We can’t wait to return next week!

    I enjoyed the penne vodka and my spouse had the Bolognese. We were both impressed with the flavor and presentation. The portions were perfect; often restaurant portions are too much and get wasted. Our waiter was attentive with a charming sense of humor! A friend accompanied us and he had never been here so he was quite pleased to add this to his list of places to dine in the future!

    Gigi, our waitstaff person, was lovely and very efficient. Though we were seated in a small booth as a family of four with two people over 6’ tall, we made it work. Food was well made with healthy portions.
