Reviews
"Food is 8.5 out of 10. Not bad at all, but not like surprisingly good. The location is great, and the service and ambiance are also good. Price is slightly high, but not too expensive considering the recent inflation. I'll come back for the convenient location, but nothing really unique or eye-popping."
"The interior of the restaurant is gorgeous, the tables are a little close together as is to be expected in city restaurants, but once we were sitting down it didn't feel like the other tables were right on top of us. The platter options meant we were able to get a few bites of several classic dishes without breaking the bank and ordering multiple appetizers. The portions were significant, the food was delicious, and the price was affordable. You could definitely spend a lot of money here (and it would be worth it!) But if you choose carefully on the menu, you can have a wonderful and unique meal without breaking the bank."
"Was so excited to go out and get Greek food on a freezing day. Servers and staff doing their very best could not make up for the comically terrible food. Burned/ dry/ reheated appetizer-size pieces of spanakopita served with undercooked broccoli, cooked but cold baby carrots, and cooked but cold vegetable I didn’t recognize. Potato? Yucca? Your guess is as good as mine."
"You can take beautiful insta pictures here but that’s about it. The food was horrible and all premade/microwaved. The lamb was not fully cooked and tasted stale. The moussaka tasted like awful. Way overpriced. Waste of money and time. And what is with the canned broccoli and honey glazed cheap carrots?"
"Having been fortunate enough to visit Greece multiple times and take cooking classes - my husband and I love finding new Greek restaurants and this by far blew our expectations away! Wow. We eat here multiple times on trips to DC and the staff is incredibly attentive and friendly and wonderful. If you love authenticity and a romantic environment… come on with your come on - do not miss out on this amazing restaurant. You’re all welcome in advance. And the Mediterranean diet is one of the best ones!! Love love love and we will always come back here !!!"
