Chef Eugenia Hobson and her team prepare authentic Greek dishes served attentively in a breezy Aegean-inspired atmosphere. Our signature dishes include the grilled octopus, the kolokithokeftedes (stuffed zucchini fritters), the lavraki whole fish (branzino) filleted table side, and the arni giouvetsi (lamb shank with orzo). Our selection of nine desserts are all made fresh daily in-house and feature Greek classics such as the baklava and the galaktoboureko. Our wine list is meticulously curated on a seasonal basis by son Philip Hobson selecting from Greece's top vineyards who produce indigenous varietals such as Assyrtiko & Xinomavro, and western grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon & Sauvignon Blanc. Our beer selection focuses on bottled Greek brews while our bar is fully stocked to serve both classic cocktails and signature drinks inspired by the best bars in Athens. Outdoor tables are available in the summer months.

    The food was great, the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was lovely. The menu is so extensive, I couldn't figure out what to order, but I'll definitely be thinking about the moussaka until I go back again. Oh, and don't get me started on the orange sponge cake. Delish!

    This is my favorite restaurant! The service and the food are always excellent. The bar is fun. So many restaurants serve mediocre food at high prices and disappoint. My Mama Euginia’s will not disappoint!

    We stopped by for lunch. We started with a fine Greek salad and then enjoyed two appetizers: a shrimp dish and the filet mignon on a skewer. All dishes were top-notch. Our server was attentive and helpful. Both the ambience and the food reminded us of our recent vacation in Athens. Highly recommneded!

    We went to dinner at Eugenia's after a performance at Signature Theater. When we walked in we were greeted by a man playing the bouzouki. He explained to me what it was. Fun start! There were 7 of us and we were all seated together at a big table as I'd requested. I love the avgolemono soup and I got everyone at the table to try a cup. We ordered lots of small plates: three spreads with pita, spanakopita, kolokithakia, dolmades, keftedakia, kotopoulo souvlaki. Four in our party also ordered entrees: salmon, lamb chops, chicken breast, and the vegetarian sampler. We also got dessert: baklava, loukoumades with honey and loukoumades with nutella. NOTE: the loukoumades plates are for sharing. I think they tried to tell us but we didn't get the message. :0) Anyway, 5 of 7 companions had never had Greek food before and they all enjoyed the meal very much. Service was excellent. I love the food at Eugenia's and it's a great place to go if you have a vegetarian in your group. I also like that the atmosphere is not as loud as some of the other restaurants in the area. We like to be able to hear our dinner companions.

    The six of us shared appetizers, spreads and salads mostly vegetarian with some seafood. Favorites were the eggplant spread, spanakopita, and beet appetizers
