"The food was very good and large portions. Staff was very nice and helpful. The Baklava is two very large pieces and so good ! Reasonably priced. Definitely will go back."

"My favorite Greek spot in Chicago. I love the fresh ingredients, preparation of dishes and presentation. This is a great location on a quiet street in Lincoln park and has a lovely outside seating area as well as inside. There are heaters too for chilly nights. This place is very accommodating to families and has great customer service from the hostess to the wait staff. Everything feels clean and of good quality. The portions are perfect - not too big or too small. Both the melitzanosalata & moussaka are light and filling at the same time. Dessert is awesome. I love every dish here."

"Made a last second reservation on a Saturday night during the holidays and three of us were sat right away. Service was great and we got our drinks and food SO quickly. Great atmosphere - darker lighting, cool bar and the outdoor area has intrigued me since I first saw it in the summer! The beef and chicken souvlaki were delicious."

"This place has the ultimate comfort Greek food. The restaurant is beautiful inside, they have a nice lunch menu and swift service. I stuck with more traditional fare when I ordered, for starters I got the hummus plate which was fresh, delicious, and had a kick of spice. I also ordered the lamb gyros which tasted really fresh and you could tell they pickle their onions in house- yum! I had a good experience here, please try it if you can!"

"Delicious cuisine, yummy cocktails and great place to sit outdoors for dinner. We ordered a few plates to share. Recommend the Greek salad, Meatballs, Calamari, Shrimp in Filo, Gyro Plate and Chicken Souvlaki. Would have ordered the lamb shank but one of our friends wasn’t a fan, so I’ll order next time as it looked absolutely delicious when served the next table over from us. For cocktails try the Watermelon margarita. So good! Also, the have happy hour before 5:30pm. Great stop for dinner and reasonably priced."
