   Service was welcoming, staff was friendly. The food was fine, not great, and portions were small for the price of each entree. Not sure if I’d go back again.

   Can’t comment on the food and value. We made a reservation about two weeks ago. Given a table at the entry point and it was cold there, the door opening all the time. Too cold for us to enjoy dinner so we left.

   We made a reservation way in advance and still had to sit at the bar because they overbooked and didn’t have a table for us even though a table for four sat empty the whole time we were there. The bar staff was great and we had a good time, but it was frustrating after confirming our reservation by text and email to get seated at the crowded bar. Food was good.

   The restaurant has a pleasant clean modern vibe to it. We were there on a very busy evening and I think on a normal evening it might be a bit more calm. The staff is awesome, very attentive and apologetic for not seating us at our exact reservation time. They were accommodating folks so tables had to be shifted a bit. They compensated us with a drink on the house, which was nice, but not necessary. Our food was prepared as ordered and was delicious. We would definitely return!

   Great food in the Union Square, pre-theater area. The food was great and moderately priced. The service was friendly but a bit erratic. Charming and vibrant restaurant.

   We had lunch here before a Saturday show, and it was a lovely experience. The service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive, and the seating was comfortable. We started with hummus, which was mild and smooth and accompanied by the softest, most pillowy warm pitas ever. For our entrees, we had the beef pita sandwich, steak souvlaki, lamb chops, and the makaronia pasta. My son said that the lamb was tender and flavorful. My older son really enjoyed his sandwich, and my husband loved the souvlaki. The pasta was amazing, with a light but richly flavored sauce with briny pops from the capers contrasting with the earthy mushrooms and spinach.

   A newer Greek restaurant near Union Square offers great foods. We had zucchini cakes, octopus, sea bass. They are all good and fresh. The waitress was very attending and friendly. We had a good time!

    The music was too much techno. The service from the kitchen was slow. We were there for an hour before our entree came. Had to ask the waitress to clear off my soup bowl. The soup was excellent.
