    I enjoyed my visit to the Red Rooster yesterday. The temperature, taste and quantity of food was very good. Most of the dishes we experienced was excellent. We tasted several of the menu selections. Loved the deviled eggs, fried chicken and jerk salmon . Service was very professional but friendly. The price for the quality of the food we ate was more than welcomed. I loved my experience at Red Rooster and would choose this restaurant again if I’m in this area again.

Their warm hospitality and attention to detail truly made our dining experience exceptional. Each course was perfectly timed, and they were always nearby, ensuring our glasses were full and that we had everything we needed. The team's knowledge of the menu and their recommendations were spot on, adding to the overall enjoyment. Lefkes has set a high standard for service—I can’t recommend it enough!

    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.
