About this restaurant

Neighbourhood gem
Innovative
Romantic

Opened 33 years ago this family style Greek restaurant has been a staple in Greenwich, CT. Today it has been passed down from one generation to the next. John's son Seve, a Culinary Institute of America graduate, has expanded the menu with simple, healthy, homemade dishes. The decor has been updated and the service still remains top notch.

The food was terrible. Overly fishy fish. Wouldn’t eat it. Very slimy. Saganaki like cardboard.

Sarah is always terrific and in this particular visit, our waiter was exceptional. His recommended dish (halibut) I accepted on faith and it was outstanding. His frequent visits to the table to check on us were both comforting and appreciated for water. Refills and other intermediate needs. This restaurant has family atmosphere vibes, great food, and noise level all conversation. Bravo to the team.

Our experience was not as good as we would have liked. It had been about a year since our last visit to FGK, and all four in our party felt that the food was over salted with large flakes of salt on everything. When we commented about this to our server, he shrugged his shoulders but offered us a second glass of wine and a comped delicious dessert. The dessert was not salted!!!
