I haven't been back here for years, but I remembered that this has always been my greek go to place. Once again, this did not disappoint!!! Although the prices are not exactly cheap, the0 quality and the about you get is pretty reasonable. We had the: Beef souvlaki ($32) - greek salad - lemon potatoes - rice pilaf - 2 skewers of VERY tender beef The portion was perfect for me. Everything about it was a 5 star for me. Lamb souvlaki ($27) Same sides. The portion was also very perfect. Lamb was made perfectly and not gamey taste. Service was great. The servers were very friendly.

Wow! This was my first time here and I was blown away. I love Greek food, but this is hands down the best Greek in town. Thank you for such friendly service, great vibes, delicious food and tasty drinks. 5 well deserved stars - I would give them 6 if I could.

Made reservations for 6pm. Good thing as the place was packed. Ordered the grilled calamari, it was unbelievable. For my main I ordered the lamb shoulder, highly recommend, so tender and seasoned perfectly and the rice was so nice and fluffy. Pita bread came in a stack served warm and soft. I pretty much licked my plate clean. That's how good the food was.

Time for an update, now that they have moved into their new space. Has a great feel, warm but bright and thoroughly modern but retains some of the feel of the old space, a lot.of the decorations are there but displayed in an updat d style that works well. The menu has been updated.with more small or sharin plates tapas style and I think thats the way to go, though you will still find the entre and soulvlaki platters there too. Loved the grilled squid. So hard to find this simple and delicious dish. Service is always warm and welcoming and very prompt. This is a popular spot so a reso is recommended during peak times. Well worth the visit if you're in the neighborhood.
