    Decent but lacking any true luster. Bar is small, crowded, and expensive.

    We just did small plates and shared so we could taste more things. Everything was very good. Our server was a lot of fun and added to the overall experience. This place is a must try.

    Bread brought to the table was good but way too salty. Appetizer crunch feta was ok - too much phyllo dough and feta was barely warm. Reuben was AMAZING. Skirt steak Churassco style had fantastic flavor and was cooked perfectly but was cold when it was served while the Greek potatoes (which were supposed to be Greek fries) were very hot. The potatoes were good but not what was ordered and the waitress commented that it was wrong and just asked if it was ok to leave it. It wasn’t worth it to me to wait on the correct side. Finally, we asked about the dessert Kataifi and were told it was similar to baklava but had custard in it. The custard is what sold us on the dessert but what we received had zero custard. She was correct that it was similar to baklava but upon researching the dessert later the custard part is completely false. Not sure why she said that. Vanilla skies drink was also delicious. Overall it was a good experience with some disappointments. We will probably give them one more shot.

    Octopus was fresh and excellently charred. Bread was a little dry. Jumbo Shrimp and veggie fantastic. Salmon was a little dry as were mashed potatoes. Staff was excellent as was atmosphere.

    There was no one at the reservation stand. At last we were seated. But then we sat for 15 minutes without a single server acknowledging us. We got up and left. Also the price of what I wanted was $2 more than on that morning’s face book message.

    Food was delicious, service great and drinks reasonably priced. They have a guitarist that plays and he’s very good, especially nice addition to the evening.

    Morgan did a nice job of serving us. Food was ample, well presented and flavorful. Greek lamb loli’s were to die for!. Vanilla Martini was delish. Very relaxing and enjoyable.
