                                                      Fantastic- wonderful Greek menu with a fresh and upscale environment. We had the signature dish, the ragu and the stuffed eggplant. The gyros are tempting and I am sure delicious but I would suggest trying the mains. Delicious and light! 10/10 (from a bit of a food snob!)

                                                      The food was fair, but it made me and my date feel unsettled afterward. It was very loud and cold. Fortunately, they did turn heat on/up midway through dinner. Unfortunately, I was hoping to be able to recommend this restaurant, but I just can't. I recommend not using a deep fryer for epplant and zucchini or at least reducing your batter.

                                                      Food was super mediocre and for the price it didn’t add up. Didn’t feel like stuff was Homeade.

                                                      Dry good food but mussaki was a bit dry and over cooked.
