    We sat on the patio with heaters. Very comfortable. Food is delicious and cooked perfect as always! Chicken Athean my favorite, my husband loves the pork chop. 4 Lamb chops amazing! The green bean sides and lemon wedge is unique. Our waitress offered to serve a salad family style. Lemon vinaigrette arugula salad was extra good, loved the tomatoes, feta and gold raisins. Always finish with baklava à la mode. Excellent service 10+ serves with a smile and wine pours. Brought friends first time and loved it! You really feel like a guest!

    Of the 4 items ordered, 2 came out incorrect. Server seemed disinterested in assisting us in any capacity. Food was average. Live music was a plus.

    Small family owned restaurant. Food and service was ok. Being that I lived in Chicago with a large Greek community where the food is over the top, there really is no comparison. I traveled for 40 min to try it here. I probably wouldn’t drive to come here again, but if I was in the area and had a craving for Greek food, I would try it again.
