    Wow what a great find! The Mezze platter was outstanding. Each dip was superb. Waiter recommended the Bronzino filets which were amazing. Highly recommend.

    Way understaffed. Took forever to even get water and have orders taken. Chaotic servers. The food was excellent though.

    Absolutely delicious! Our family shared 3 appetizers, 4 entrees- lamb souvlaki, red snapper, grilled salmon and penne alla vodka. For dessert we shared Greek baklava and pistachio baklava. Everything was amazing! Authentic flavors and excellent service. The only negative was that diningroom was very, very loud for a 5pm seating.
