Our table enjoyed happy hour drinks and apps. We also ordered the scampi and shrimp pasta as well as their signature shrimp pasta dish. We were impressed by it all. The portions are generous for the price. Highly recommend the baklava! Only thing to note is more of a mobility/family point of interest. The bathrooms are located upstairs and it was lacking a baby changing area. My only critique would be to add something in the bathroom to accommodate families. Otherwise a great night and everyone spoke about how delicious the food was and how we would definitely make a point to come again soon! It brought us right back to Europe.

The brunch buffet was definitely worth the price. I typically don’t like buffets but there were plenty of options and the food was consistently replenished. The baklava pancakes, the brussel sprouts and the seafood options were my favorite.

Always enjoy Vasos Kitchen / Dixie Pig House! Food very good as it usually is. A bit too noisy for me though...but good for Vasos as they were quite full!
