I stumbled into this restaurant by chance on a trip back from NYC. What a gem! First, the food quality is difficult to match. My wife and I chose the $34 menu and had to take food back home. Very generous portions. This restaurant has mothing to envy to Avras in Manhattan's E60th street. Their orange cake is definitely better than Avras. And then, add the super service. Very very friendly service, make you feel at home, Kristos, Scarlet, Lefteris and Lilian: Thank you for a great stay and meal.

Amazing place, music was excellent, great service, cocktails were amazing. Thought the food was good but a little overpriced for what we got. The live band made up for it though, great night out.

One of Arthur Avenue's traditional red sauce restaurant with its own parking lot or complimentary valet parking service. A benefit when parking is so hard to come by in the area. Fun experience. Definitely touristy but worth the effort.
