    Fabulous food. Sat at the bar and the bartender not only had stellar food recommendations but also wine suggestions. I enjoy California Chardonnay and am not familiar with Greek wines and he presented lovely options. The dips were wonderful with standout homemade pita. Delectable salad with heirloom tomatoes, feta, cucumber and onions. Patatas were great. Enjoyed the lamb chops with tzatziki but the standout was the tea brined chicken. GO!!!

    I’ve been to quite a few locations, I absolutely love the food at each one. This one in particular has excellent service from the minute you walk in. The food was excellent, extremely fresh as well. I also loved that our server/bartender since we sat at the bar didn’t try to push us to order excessively. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu. I highly recommend the ceviche, Milo’s special, and of course the tomato salad, and any fish in the market to have baked with a salt crust.
