    I love the concept .clean food no bad oils most organic . The place was lovely and clean. Our server seemed a bit overwhelmed but still not terrible. I like the food options there should be more thou. I don’t like the fact they don’t have French fries . If they had air friend fries or tallow fries would be wonderful . I think restaurants should have options for vegans, but I don’t think that they should focus on vegan for dessert. There were no options that were regular. That was upsetting.. I noticed that the quality of food is great, but the quantity of the food is very little we had to order a couple of entrées each. There should be more of a pizza selection on the burgers should be slightly bigger.. I like the fact that there were filtered water machines. And they had a lot of cool different refreshing non-alcoholic drinks. Like I said, the concept is really cool. I just think they need to fine-tune it a bit. I would definitely go back.

    We discovered this place when coming to an appointment in Astoria and we are all not living in Queens! This place is so worth the distance! Some of the best Greek food I ever had and I grew up in Astoria before moving to Brooklyn. Spinach pie is lien made by grandma. All seafood is tender and flavorful. Lemon potatoes are the best I ever had as well along with all the sides. Cocktails are well balanced and delicious. Service is friendly and welcoming. We keep saying we may try a new place but we just can’t because This place is soooooo perfect.
