    I go there just for the Farm to the Table sandwich. It's a little overpriced in my opinion but it is worth every penny. I love their fresh cut fries with olive tempade. Everything is always fresh. It is generally pretty loud, especially when really busy but I think it's just the set up of the restaurant. The service personnel are always pretty nice.

    The waiter did a great job. Was very attentive and was very patient with all of the requests for the vegetarians, vegans, etc.. The food was great. They could have done something for the birthday celebration, like a small piece of baklava, etc, We would have paid.

    First time dining here. Greek salad/ dressing delicious. Not sure if there was any eggplant in the moussaka? Why play rock music in Greek restaurant? Service was good, friendly staff. Will eat here again. Great Greek menu offerings.
