    Amazing service. Personable and lovely waitress. Loved 5 of the 6 dishes we ordered. The 6th (main meatballs) were too salty for our taste. Went for our anniversary and will be back.

    I think this is the best restaurant food in Boston right now, really outstanding. The wine program is exclusively Greek, the list is huge, the grape varieties unfamiliar and unpronounceable, but the waitstaff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The restaurant struggles to keep wines in stock; I ordered two bottles that were not available that night. The place is crowded and noisy, the patrons generally young and hip, lots of fun.
