Never disappoints unless you have to wait but the wait is worth it. Great happy hour. Just tried the beef short rib ragu raviolis- delicious!

Everything about the food was delicious! I had the special of the day: the pasta; and some garlic hummus! Haven’t had some great Mediterranean food in a long time and this was a very pleasant dining experience! Will definitely recommend to friends and will be coming back in the future!

Went in for our anniversary and came back the next week!! 1/2 off bottles of wine under 50 on Thursdays. The flatbreads are amazing! So are the calamari (the marinara is amazing) the duck phyllo, and dolmades!! The steak and gnocchi special was to die for!! Will definitely be going back!! Everything tastes fresh and the next thing we will be trying out is the flaming cheese appetizer.

Been here several times now and loved each visit. Staff is always friendly and attentive and is very knowledgeable about the menu making amazing recommendations. The place is clean and inviting like you’re in Greece. I’ve had numerous items off the menu in each category and everything is fantastic. Cooked perfectly to order, seasoned fantastic, and great portion sizes making the value great. Been there a lot and will keep going back!

Exceptional Quality and Taste! Bobby , our server , is extremely good at his job. He made sure we were taken care of without pressure and was very pleasant. The taste was right on the money when you think Mediterranean cuisine. The Meze Platter was everything you want it to be and more. The Procitto and Fig flat bread was Divine.

I’ve been here twice already and both times were amazing! The first time, I had the Seafood Pasta, it was a special, but it was so good it should definitely be on the regular menu. The second time, I tried the Lobster Pasta and it was just as delicious. We also ordered the Saganaki Opa as an appetizer, such a fun and tasty start to the meal! And for dessert, the Baklava Cheesecake was absolutely amazing. The staff is super friendly and made me feel right at home both times. Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. Definitely one of my favorite spots!

Fresh and flavorful. He had the lamb shank & I had the eggplant rollatini. We melted over the saganaki opa! Hard to find a delicious spot, but we were impressed
