This is an outstanding Greek restaurant. The best I have ever been to. Definitely a Michelin-quality. For a few decates I wanted to visit the famed Kokkari Estiatorio in SF but never had a chance. I am happy that they opened this location (sister restaurant) in Palo Alto. Calamari, Octopus, Lamb Chops, and their dessert offerings were all good. Stands out even for Palo Alto. The service quality was excellent as well. My business associate and I had a wonderful dinning experience. Thank you.
