    Mousa was a pleasant surprise. I didn't expect authentic Greek food outside of Greek town. The grilled octopus was so good, I may go back and order that as my entree so I don't have to share. The taramasalata portion was huge but could have used more fish roe. My partners gyros plate could have fed 2 but he shouldered through and finished the meat. The drinks were also delicious. The Calabria was a nice twist on a spritz. We were too full to try the lemon cake so will be back to try it. Our server, Shae, was fantastic. She was friendly and attentive but not overbearing. Added plus; it's a half block from the Rialto.

    If you're looking for a place to eat before going to the Rialto, this is a very good choice. Be sure to make a reservation; they do book out. Everyone in our party of 4 enjoyed their food and would order it again.

    Server was excellent…believe her name was Shay. Place was very nice, noise level was great, meal was very good, enjoyed everything except that the street is being worked on, so had to walk a bit to get there. Not the restaurants fault. Will be back.

    We celebrated our daughter’s birthday and had a wonderful experience. The staff was super friendly. We ordered hummus, spanakopitas, saganaki, souvlaki, and beef kabobs. Everything was delicious. The meat was tender and flavorful. We also received a complimentary dessert, Italian lemon cake, and it was so light and delicate. Overall delicious food and great staff!
