I was here on business and came with large group. This was fantastic!! Food was wonderful and cannot wait to return. We had flaming cheese with sausages for appetizers and I had the stuffed snapper for dinner. Another coworker got the scored flounder and he’s still talking about it a day later. Soooo good! And service was wonderful. Cannot wait to come back with my hubs.

Best Crispy Scored Flounder in Savannah. Wonderful customer service, great selection of food and very reasonable prices. As a local this moved to one of my top spots to visit after our experience today.

We love this place. We have precious memories here. It's a must each time we're here. Food and atmosphere reminds us of Hella's in Tarpon Springs, FL.

The food was soooo delicious. It was our anniversary weekend. We ended up going back another night. The owner was so pleasant and even gave us free dessert both days. I had the blackened salmon with the Greek salad. It was so good and the next day I had to try the shrimp scampi that my husband had. It did not disappoint. And of course their homemade bread is delicious.
Try this place out the next time you are on the Riverfront in Savannah, Ga.

Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was very good. The village salad is highly recommended and the avgolemeno soup is so good. The owner came and talked to us which was nice too!

Superb Greek dinner. Awesome location on river street, and romantic ambience inside. Had a lovely dinner with fresh bread, hummus, lamb shank, and Greek duo. More than generous serving size food. Service was wonderful as well! Owner stopped by our table and was so kind and made sure our experience was enjoyable. I recommend!

OMG 🔥 I’m a trucker and out of pure coincidence my cousin who’s also a trucker pulled into the same truck stop in Port Wentworth! We ubered to Olympia after searching for a place to eat since we are pescatarian. We arrived in a Thunder ⛈️ storm so after shuffling in, we were seated in this ambient cobblestone brick wall softly lit cafe!
Ok Ok!! We ordered the Whole Red Snapper (For Two)! Sheesh it was huge 👀 🤤 The Snapper came with delicious sides but the main course did not disappoint. Beautifully prepared and filet table-side by kitchen staff just added essence and class the the most expensive entree on the menu. Well worth every cent❗️
First time in Savannah and the next trip to Savannah will be fueled by the desire an lure of this Greek Cafe! Thank you for such an amazing experience for me and my cousin (A couple world traveled truckers) 😂

FANTASTIC everything. We went early on the Friday, around 5:30, of Memorial Day weekend. We had a party of 3, and they were able to accommodate us without a reservation.
We started with a complimentary basket of delicious, airy, yet crispy bread with Greek olive oil to drizzle on it.
Not pictured: the perfectly cooked Kalamari appetizer, the Baklava, and the wine! We weren't sure which Greek red to choose, and our server let us sample a couple, as well as the Rosè (which is on the drier side and wonderful). I believe the wine chosen was the Amethystos, delicious!
I had the Greek beer, Mythos, also wonderful! A light lager full of flavor.
The food: AMAZING. Just try as much of it as you can!
The Greek dessert, Galaktoboureko, was amazkng! It was very airy and light!
The Souvalki: delicious, the pita perfect, and the Tzadaki was just right.
Olympia Duo: she chose the Moussaka and the Pastitsio, both a huge hit! She said she couldn't choose between the two!
Moussaka Dinner: also a huge hit! It's a favorite of my co-worker who has eaten here before!
Ambiance and Atmosphere: it was pleasant! Great music that wasn't loud, a fresh rose on the table, real candles throughout the restaurant.
Service: Terrific! She had plenty of recommendations and knew the menu well! She didn't make us feel like we had to rush out, despite them getting busier. I wish I could remember her name, but she had long dark hair and glasses and is gluten-free. Hopefully, the owners or manager sees this and knows who I'm referencing!
Price point: It's a restaurant, on the river, in downtown Savannah. Dinner prices averaged $25-$40/person. $10-$15/glass of wine. It was 100% WORTH IT.
I've eaten at several restaurants on the river since I work right there, and this is now my #1 on River Street.
