    Always love this Mediterranean inspired restaurant! The 3-course pre-theater menu is a great value. We had a table for 5 in a private alcove, and the noise level was perfect for older (ahem) ears. Very fresh seafood and lamb. The service is impeccable. Thank you!

    The experience was absolutely A1 from start to finish. The service was incredible, and the head chef/owner constantly made sure we were well taken care of the entire night. The atmosphere was unforgettable; the Greek music was amazing, and dancing with the other customers made the night even more special. They were even teaching me Greek dances lol. It truly felt like more than just dinner, it felt like an experience. The drinks were top tier as well. The Negroni was perfectly balanced, and the espresso martini was smooth, rich, and honestly one of the best I’ve had. Now the food… absolutely amazing. The stuffed calamari was outstanding and packed with flavor. The mussels were cooked perfectly, and the sauce they came in was so good it was honestly to die for. The lamb chops were cooked to perfection and paired with the mashed potatoes were just chef’s kiss. I honestly cannot believe I passed by this place so many times without stopping in, but I’m glad I finally did. I have nothing but great things to say about this restaurant and I will definitely be returning.
