    Aspendos' Manager, Adam, couldn't be more gracious every time we visit. We are always amazed at the unique offerings that have been carefully prepared and served at peak quality. We look forward to our next visit!

    Beautiful restaurant with exorbitantly high prices for food that is not tasty. Waitress was not nice and it felt like we were annoying.

    I enjoyed and would return. I would recommend that they train their wait staff better. Our server was unable to provide any information about any dish we inquired about, beyond standard platitudes and “I haven’t tried it.” We always enjoy interacting with wait staff and when they’re good, like the cheesemongers at DiBruno’s, they take a good experience and elevate it to the sublime

    The menu is misleading about what is and is not vegan, as I was informed by one of the staff on one occasion. Unlike her, however, the servers generally are poorly trained, have no idea about the food (particularly the vegan options), and are not very thoughtful about accommodating any special requests. The food is excellent but the prices are ridiculously high relative to all comparable restaurants in the area.

    The food was delicious and the service was great! A bit loud because 2 big parties were there but the staff managed everyone well. We shared the spinach salad, roasted/smoked eggplant and lamb chops plus they brought a delicious starter of fresh from the over pita and dips! Everything was fresh and delicious. I highly recommend!

    Restaurant was beautiful. Service was excellent. The complementary premeal food was delicious and the spinach salad was very fresh and tasty. The entree was disappointing. Although the food was temperature hot, the meat was chewy and burnt. Also paying over $30 for each of the entrees, the potions was extremely small.

    Excellent food! As for ambiance, they could darken the place more. One thing we wish we knew before coming was that it was BYOB. They didnt really serve alcohol which would have been perfect with their food. Nonetheless, we’ll definitely come back and also bring our own wine
