Peaceful, cozy, and elegant!
The restaurant is on a busy street, but tucked away and it’s very peaceful inside. Food was great. We were there for brunch, and overall, enjoyed it quite a bit. Service was on the slower side (definitely not the place to go if in a hurry), but it fit in with the general cozier atmosphere, and our server was very nice.
Would recommend!

A lovely little-known neighborhood gem. I've already been a few times and this is a consistently good restaurant. The decorations are classy, feel very intimate, and have a wonderful ambiance. It's quiet enough if you are looking to have a good conversation.
The staff is one of the most efficient and fast I've seen, and also friendly. It's great if you're on a time constraint but you can also take your time if you want to enjoy the experience.
Some of the food highlights are:
You can't go wrong starting with the spreads: choose any because they are all excellent and they give you as much extra pita as needed to finish them all.
Meatballs: This is one of the few places that know how to treat lamb well: always tender, has great seasoning, and is not gamey at all. The sauce is great to be scooped up with your pita slices.
Grilled Fish was cooked perfectly and set upon a delicious rice pilaf with feta and roasted squash. They have an extensive amount of fish on the menu and they know how to cook it.
Lamb chops: Again, those guys know how to season and cook their lamb
All in all a nice lovely experience. Simple food, no bells and whistles, made well. Nice for an unpretentious stop for a quick bite or a nice conversation.
We had an amazing time! Our waiter, Gallo, was very attentive and had amazing recommendations for both food and wine. He definitely exuded professionalism and left us with a fantastic impression of the restaurant.
One giant star for being close to home. But the food was pretty pricey here, especially for the portions you get.
The cocktails were refreshing and tast.
For appetizers - we got the hamachi crudo; it was delicious, but four pieces of fish for $23 is almost as expensive as an omakase.
For entrees- we got grilled whole fish, and the waiter recommended lavraki (European sea bass). The dish was disappointing. The flavor was bland, and that’s after squeezing tons of lemon juice on it.
Luckily, the meal was saved by having the lamb shank - the meat was flavorful, juicy, and moist. It was our favorite dish of the night
If you have room for dessert, don’t miss out on the Sokolatina - it was to die for!
Service was decent, and the ambiance was lively!
We were able to walk in and be seated immediately with no reservation so that was fantastic. Of course this was for a late lunch on a Monday afternoon. My fiancé and I shared four small plates and a dessert, plus two cocktails each and that was plenty. Everything was absolutely superb! Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable and offered clarification and recommendations when we couldn’t decide between several things. It’s been years since I’ve been, since before they moved to the new location and it was even better than I remembered.
I’ve read that they serve great brunch here so I had to come and try it out because I love brunch. For my first time here I had “The Greek Toast”. It was very delicious. The whipped yogurt cream was so yummy. I saved the last piece of toast with the cream on it so I can savor it. Lol! My waitress was extremely kind. I would definitely come back to try out more from the brunch menu. I’m definitely coming back with my friends for dinner.
We really enjoyed the dips, gyro sliders and almond cake. Great cocktails as well.
This place was such a treat! I saw this place in my neighborhood while casually walking around after the gym. The food was so rich and flavorful. All the servers and hosts were extremely hospitable and the service was quick. Everything on the menu looked super delicious and it was hard to decide. There really isn’t a bad option here.
I will definitely be back and highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for amazing food in a beautiful atmosphere!
The owner is very passionate and listens to feedback from customers. The food is great. You will not be disappointed.
Came here for brunch- seems to be more of a dinner place but still enjoyed the food. We got a take on sausage eggs Benedict and shakshuka- which had a crispy feta shell that elevated the dish well. Ambiance was great
