My husband initially ordered the crab cakes, but unfortunately, he didn't enjoy them.

Although the salsa was generally tasty, I've tasted better salsas elsewhere. And I would have preferred at least some level of spiciness. I thoroughly enjoyed my chicken chimichangas, which came with nice portions of rice and refried beans. The combination of two chimi's (#17 on the combo menu) is a great deal since it's only $2 more than a single chimi. And I took one home for a second meal. My wife had the Super Chicken Burrito, which has the rice and beans inside the burrito rather than on the side. She liked the entree but was a bit disappointed by the minimal amount of burrito sauce & melted cheese on top even though the menu said the burrito was "smothered" with these items.

I'm in the restaurant business and my first time hereThe ambience is very nice. However, the service wasn't that great. Our pizza came out 20 minutes before the entrées for the other people at our table which is absolutely avoidable. The food took a long time and one of the people at our table was still waiting for a fork and knife set up and water glass when the appetizers arrived. The biggest eyesore that stuck out was that the servers were doing roll ups with silverware dishwasher holders on the table right next to our table. I would fire somebody at my restaurant if they did that. I'll think twice before I go back. Yeah, no I won't be going back. read more

I've come to this place multiple times now. The servers and bartenders are all very friendly and helpful. It is some of the best pizza I have had in my whole life. The white pizza is on point. I also enjoy the chicken piccata. My wife gets pasta with clams and she enjoys that too. I brought my 2 friends here and they loved it they pointed out how soft the bread was. They got the americano pizza and penne al vodka they enjoyed both. I will continue to come back and highly suggest this place. read more

We paid almost $100 per person for their omakase experience and it was a complete rip-off. First of all, we left completely starving. There was not one single ounce of protein in any of the courses, and every dish was aggressively salty. The service was just as much of a joke as the food. We never got our water or sodas refilled, and the staff completely ignored every single request we made. They also totally skipped us for the welcome glass of champagne, even though we literally watched them hand it out to everyone else. The most infuriating part was the bread situation. They told us we could not have any because their "upstairs bread oven wasn't working", but we could clearly see them actively serving bread to the downstairs customers. Make it make sense! Also, multiple people in our group had upset stomachs after and could not even stomach the food and left feeling uneasy. They now believe they have food poisoning which is disappointing since we used to love this place! It was also too loud inside and we felt packed as sardines. When we finally expressed our extreme dissatisfaction to the manager, he just gave us a weak "sorry" and did absolutely nothing to make it right. Honestly, the food was worse than cruise ship food and the customer service is completely nonexistent. It was a huge waste of money and a ruined night. Save your cash and go literally anywhere else.

My husband and I wandered in just before Happy Hour was ending.

We shared a few appetizers - absolutely delicious - but the arancini truffle rice balls, served with a pecorino cream, were outstanding - seriously, on another level in Flavor-town! Other menu standouts include the large assortment of pizza. For dessert we were "treated" to an incredible bread pudding - perfectly dense but still moist and sticky, yet not too sweet with a crispy caramelized top - served with vanilla ice cream. The beautiful and engaging Manager, Megan, bought us dessert when she heard we were celebrating our 20 year wedding anniversary - so thoughtful and kind!

You could spend 20-plus hours flying to Greece, fighting jet lag and chasing some little taverna by the sea--or you can sit down here and let Charlie, the owner, take you there one plate at a time. What struck me most was the attention to freshness. Charlie clearly understands something that gets lost in a lot of restaurants: great food doesn't need to hide behind a lot of tricks. The octopus tastes like it has just come out of the Mediterranean. The feta plate is simple but exceptional. The lamb gyro is the kind of food that makes you stop talking for a minute. And the spanakopita rolls--crispy, warm and packed with flavor--are dangerously easy to keep eating. But somewhere between the first bite and the last, you realize this isn't really about Greek food. It's about being transported. That's what the best restaurants in the world do. They give you a glimpse into another place, another culture, another way of living. Charlie brings the flavors of Greece here with a respect for the ingredients and a level of attention to freshness that is hard to fake. And maybe that's the greatest compliment I can give this place: for a little while, I forgot I was in Florida. If you want another ordinary meal, there are plenty of choices across the street and downtown. But if you want to actually taste somewhere in the world, come here. No passport required.
