I ordered a large order for take-out and the food was fresh and delicious. I was impressed how everything was packaged. The portions were just right as sometimes with take-out orders that can lack. I'm just so happy that the food and all the side salads were fresh and tasty. A huge hit for my mom's birthday!

Good food, good service.

Can be a bit busy with a bit of a wait at times so be aware. Otherwise, would definitely come back.

With all the high reviews this place has received, I had high expectations. However, I was sadly disappointed and wish I had spent my Saturday night elsewhere…

While our initial server was quick and polite, once his shift ended, it seemed our new server was trying her best to avoid talking to us.

When our food came out after 45 minutes of waiting, she quietly placed it on the table and left without saying a word (no apologies for the wait… no nothing…)Typically, servers announce the dish they are placing on the table or at minimum, respond to a customer’s “thank you” after the meal has been placed down. However, our server walked in and out without a word which made us feel ignored and uncomfortable.

And while the business may try and explain that they were very busy and that’s why the server was unable to be more attentive/friendly, as you can see in the photo, it was not very busy when we were there.

Additionally, while we found the Greek salad to be good, the rice and pork skewer were too dry and the potato was wayyyy too sour.

And since I read a comment from the restaurant saying they would have been happy to help another unhappy customer if they had voiced their opinion in store, I want to share that I was not comfortable sharing my thoughts in person because of the unfriendly server and atmosphere. While entering the restaurant, I saw a sign stating that the prices of the food will change depending on the customer’s attitude. Seeing that made me not want to ask any questions and definitely not voice my concerns in case the restaurant decided to charge me extra for being “rude”. As such, we decided to quietly leave the restaurant and not bring anything up to the server/manager.

I really wish I could have liked this place but the service and atmosphere just was’t it…

The meat was a bit underwhelming (perhaps the way it was cooked) as it tasted pretty dry. The meal was good overall. Service was fantastic.

My husband and I really enjoyed our lunch today that we ended up overeating 😅 everything was so good. Chicken souvlaki was really tender, calamari was perfectly seasoned and crispy, I will probably have dreams about it. The salad was even delicious that I ended up eating it all and it was a pretty generous serving. Can't wait to come back.

Nice restaurant. You can tell the staff works hard. They are receptive to comments and will ensure you are satisfied before you leave.
All the food was lovely. I recommend the calamari, fries, chicken souvlaki (and the rice is lovely too!), and caeser salad. The raspberry cheesecake is also nice.
