Greek Islands 200 South Halsted Street, Chicago, IL 60661

"Atmosphere here is charming. Service was ok not terrible and not great. Now let’s talk about the food, I really wanted to like this restaurant because the google reviews were so positive. But if you read enough reviews and have been let down so many times you take reviews with a grain of salt. The traditional Greek salad was not very traditional, it was mostly iceberg lettuce. Grilled octopus was tasty and cooked well. I ordered the tenderloin kebabs medium but got well done instead. The bell peppers are very sad looking. Grilled swordfish was cooked perfectly. The grilled shrimp kabobs were not fresh and tasted of ammonia. My wife and I both swallowed a bite of the shrimp before we realized it was bad. I hope we don’t get food poisoning from it."

"Great Greek food. For a family of 4 (2 kids) we ordered grilled octopus (very good), grilled calamari (excellent!), arni fournou (melted in your mouth, yummy!) and kontosouvoi (okay, pork was dry and tough). Overall experience was great and we will definitely return next time we visit Chicago!."

"According to my son ... "One of my top five dining experiences!" We ordered Family Style and it was amazing. Nicos was our server and made our meal seem like we were eating in our home ... it was simply fantastic!"

"Greek Island's has been a longtime favorite for my family. The service is great the guys are always attentive and offer great old school service. The dishes are huge in servings you will definitely take some home. Prices I must say are not bad considering so many other places are so expensive"

"Superb restaurant!! The ambiance of the restaurant sets the scene for the culinary experience you are about to enjoy. The service is spectacular and friendly. Had the Lamb special and the Moussaka and both were delicious. Had a nice house red wine with the meal per the waiter's suggestion and it was excellent. The food was served quickly and was full of flavor. Had the baklava for dessert. Everything was excellent and I am excited to come back in the future. One of the best restaurants I've been to in awhile and highly recommended!!"
