    The Saganaki and their Sour Dough Bread is delicious. We had eaten there before for lunch and it was a better menu than the dinner one, that's true for some dishes. We would go back again.

    We had a really nice experience and the food was delicious. A star is knocked off for noise level because it was so loud from the music and the main dining area was so busy it was very hard to speak to each other. The service was lovely. Natasha took great care of us. Steve the GM stopped by our table. Said happy birthday to our guest and was very welcoming. All in all it was really great and we will definitely be back. We ordered several apps and the two entrees shared among 4 of us. The deserts were delicious Yay. Greek in San Carlos!

    Great new restaurant in San Carlos. A few service tweaks and it will be 5 star. Thought it was funny when we ordered Chianti and the waitress came back to apologize for the wait because she couldn’t find the Chianti Chardonnay. Might want to educate the servers a bit more.
