    The food was excellent. The service a bit slow. The waiter was pleasant but distracted by his telephone watching videos. After getting attention and as more customers arrived was much more attentive.

    Food was fantastic. Service was attentive and friendly. Music was loud but with its location I understand that they are trying to attract passers by. If I had not been intrigued by the menu I never would have stopped to eat there. But I am so glad I did. The food was top notch- fresh authentic Greek fare. Totally worth the trip.

    Everything about this restaurant was fantastic. The food was top notch and their avgolemono soup was the best I’ve ever had. Our server was delightful and coached us on the correct pronunciation of menu items when we struggled. Don’t miss the flaming cheese appetizer or the spread sampler — delicious!

    Great food, friendly & knowledgeable staff. Luca our waiter was very attentive. Jacobo, who greeted us at the door, made us feel very welcomed & confortable. The shrimp platter was amazing. I will definitely return!

    Excellent food and service. We were looking for something other than the usual fare in the French Quarter, and this was very good. Lots of great Mediterranean and healthy choices as well as an extensive wine list. Highly recommend!
