    Christmas eve dinner. Food and service was amazing. We ordered the Paidakia [Grilled Lamb Chops] and Tygania. Great flavor and cooked perfectly. Don't skip on the desert menu. The cheesecake was delicious. Planning on another meal there New Years Eve.

    We had an excellent experience. My friend had never tried Greek cuisine she enjoyed her meal. The waitress was amazing. Dessert was delicious.

    The food was incredible. We started with octopus, spanakopita, and a Greek salad, all amazing. We got the sampler platter to split between three adults and two kids, and it was more than enough food. Everything was delicious. The service needs a lot of work. We had a reservation and sat at our table for 20 minutes before being asked for a drink order. The table next to us got up and left after 20 minutes without a word from a server. This isn't the first time we've had this problem. The last time we came here before a show, we had to leave without even getting our meals because the service was so slow. The restaurant isn't big enough for them to have such significant delays. The food is so good so we will probably come back, but be sure to leave 2+ hours for your meal if you're seeing a show at the Rialto because the service is terrible. The hottest was very friendly and accommodating, but they need to hire more people or something because the service is terrible.

    Great people and service! The food isn't even close to authentic Greek food- did not enjoy the Pastitchio or the eggplant (was very tough), and a good bread basket would be a plus!!!

    Our meal event was dissapointing. I bar was set for an upscale dining experience. Opening glass of wine and cocktail very good. Appetizer was awesome Taramaslata, no pink dye and fresh ingredients. Entrès served promptly but extremely disappointing. We both ordered truffle fries as a side, both orders poor, my wifes had very litttle truffle topping. lamb chops were average, cooked correctly but a bit dry. Porkchop entrè was 2 thin chops ordered medium. The chops arrived to table well done. The expected upscale experience was ruined. $200 not well spent. I never complain unless something really wrong, and once you have to complain, event is ruined. I assume Cut 158 will not be any better since same owners own Mousa anns Cut 158.

    Michael, thank you for visiting our Taverna & the feedback. Pleased to hear you enjoyed your drinks and app. Our restaurant group prides ourselves on quality ingredients, service and atmosphere. I'd like to point out that our truffle parmesan fries do not have 'truffle topping'. That is parmesan cheese. The fries are tossed in truffle oil & parmesan. I would have welcomed the opportunity to explain that. Your server, Rebecca, refunded both fry orders to attempt to appease. Apologies, there was nothing wrong on our part there. Both the lamb and pork entrees came in as medium well. We grill both and haven't had any complaints. Again, I would have loved to address that on site. We are very gracious when given the opportunity. Cut 158 is an exceptional experience, don't rob yourselves of that.

    Excellent service by Nick. Outstanding saganaki, and excellent Greek salad and octopus. Spreads were ok, but not particularly flavorful. Taromosalata was best. Green beans were overcooked, gray, and tasteless. Greek wine - Kourps Nemia 2020 was good.
