   I wouldn’t recommend going here. They claim to be Greek but don’t even have hummus. The calamari was very oily and more batter than actual calamari. The chicken skewer was very flavorless and rice was undercooked. 22$ for a subpar entree-very disappointed. Super bummed since we’ve been looking for a bomb Greek place!

   What a great find this restaurant is! The atmosphere is delightful with customers sitting at the bar chatting with the bar tender. This is obviously a place IYKYK, because you might not try it just driving by. Beautifully renovated old Taco Bell! Now for the food - excellent! We started with a 3 dip plate of Tzatziki, Tirokafteri, and Skordalia and all were excellent served with fresh pita bread and veggies. My husband had Moussaka which he said was very good and it was nicely prepared and baked individually in its own bowl, so not a piece cut out of a sheet of it. I had the chicken skewer with rice and tazatziki and loved it. We will be back. Our waiter Otto was so nice and we enjoyed chatting with him about Turkey which is where he is from. He was very helpful guiding us thru the menu!

   This is a very cute little restaurant! Loved the decor, the food was all great, and the staff was quick and attentive. The food came out quickly other than the Greek donuts but they were made fresh so I'd rather wait! My only complaints were pretty minor- we were inside and seated right under the fan which I found pretty cold, and the wooden chairs were pretty uncomfortable. Happily I was distracted by the tasty food! We started with the eggplant dip and grilled octopus- the eggplant was good but by far my favorite was the octopus. It had a sort of chimichurri sauce and was mostly very tender- some of the thinner tentacles were a little chewy but most of it was spot on. For mains we got two of the fried chicken- juicy and the honey was a nice addition; a pork skewer and a chicken skewer- both were tender with some char and nicely seasoned; and a moussaka which while maybe a small looking portion was extremely rich and filling! We also got a side of the lemon potatoes and they were a good portion that we all shared. For dessert we had an order of baclava and an order of the donuts; both were very good but I found the donuts a bit doughy inside. I've never had them before so maybe that is how they are, but the flavor was good and they were super fresh so I wasn't complaining. We had a few cocktails, I enjoyed the Mayan something, it was a lot like a cucumber ranch water with a bit of sweetness. We tried a couple of the ouzo ones but personally I'm just not a huge fan of the flavor. Price- for the 5 of us it was about $350 including a 20% tip, so $70/person isn't cheap but it's not crazy for apps, drink, main, and dessert. I'd come back, especially if they do a good happy hour!
