Barbayani Greek Taverna 388 Main Street, Los Altos, CA 94022

"We had a really outstanding lunch here today. The food was exceptional with very fresh ingredients and skillfully prepared. We started with some tzaziki which was very good. For our primary dishes we had grilled octopus and spanakopita. Octopus can be tough but this was so good and tender. The spanakopita was delicious too. Everything was so good we decided to try a dessert and we had Galaktoboureko, a Greek custard pie. A perfect ending. The restaurant is beautifully designed and the service was friendly and attentive. In all this was a great experience."

"Very nice and clean upscale Greek restaurant located near the foothills of downtown Los Altos. Every time I visit the owner chef and staffs are amazing and very nice, and shows great passion in the dishes when asking for recommendations. Latest visit was for a quick bite for lunch, and tiger prawn saganaki, zucchini cakes, and the lamb riblets were perfect. Price is on the pricier side but given the freshness and tastefulness I think it make sense."

"I’ve been here twice, once the first week they opened and again a couple of months later. Both times the food was amazing, the drinks were great but the best part was the people. I do not know how they manage to get unfailingly interesting and unapologetically nice people, every single one of them at the restaurant. On our first visit, we had a bit of a wait for the food due to a mix up, but they were nice enough to compliment us with free drinks while we waited. True Greek flavors in both food and alcohol (like Ouzo), great location and vibe, and excellent service. This place gets everything right!"

"Very nice Greek restaurant in downtown Los Altos. This is a fairly new restaurant and this was our first time here. The weather was nice and sunny so we sat outside. The service was really good and so was food. We had Tzatziki which was really good and the Vegetarian Risotto was delicious. Kotopoulo Souvlaki was very good but you only get three small cut pieces of chicken in the dish. Had a glass of wine and you get a nice pour. We will be back again to try other dishes."

"Pros: Decor and service were excellent. Renovation and tableware choices were a piece of art. Like the pork chop entree. Cons: Waited 45 min for the entrees. There were plenty of flies bothering us. This is unacceptable for a high end restaurant. Some dishes were mediocre compare to the price. I would expect sth better at those prices. Eg the $23 salmon muffin is basically a onepiece benedict. The $32 linguini was tiny."
