    The tomatoes in the salad are completely unripe, white and pink in color. Considering that tomatoes are the basis of a salad, I think that such a presentation is unacceptable. The waiter referred to the off-season, but I don't think that's an argument.

    Excellent, authentic Greek food in a casual, taverna like setting. The servers were very professional and warm. The appetizers were all excellent.. the keftedes (meatballs) with Kokinista sauce and grated cheese really stood out. The cinnamon in the sauce made it authentic and savory. The entrees were all outstanding, the macaroni dish with meat sauce and Greek shredded cheese was so delicious and great comfort food on a cold winter night! The only meal that was not up to par was the chicken souvlaki platter. The chicken chunks were small and overcooked. All in all, it was a great find and we plan to return.

    The seafood was fresh and very nicely prepared. The ambiance is festive and lively, and the servers were very attentive. This was our first time at the restaurant, and we would definitely go back.
