Special Beet Salad of the day!
Ze'eva K.

EVOO & Lemon has become one of my favorite spots, and every time I visit, it's a consistently wonderful experience. While I've tried a few different dishes here, my absolute favorite is the lamb. Most recently, I had the lamb shank with orzo, and it was absolutely delicious--the meat was so tender and flavorful, and the orzo paired perfectly with it. I also had the beet salad with garlic purée during my last visit, which was a special that night. It was such a unique and flavorful dish; I hope they bring it back often because it was a standout. The waitstaff here are incredibly efficient and attentive. They're quick to respond when you need something but never hover, which creates a relaxed yet well-served dining experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is perfect for a date night or a dinner with friends, and being a BYO restaurant makes it even better--just bring your favorite bottle of wine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Great food ! Good service ! Chose last minute and was a great experience ! Will return

Lentil soup
Katarina L.

I just never get tired of good Greek food and I'm always excited to find great new restaurants to add to the mix when I want a taste of home. I came here with my mom not too long ago for a lunch and had a great meal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat out on the back patio because we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day and shared a few different plates.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] First, I love that they bring some warm pita and a small serving of hummus over after you order. The food didn't take long at all, but it was definitely nice to munch on something while we waited. We started with the lentil soup and the grilled artichoke. The lentil soup was really tasty, but did have a strong vinegar taste, which was pretty new. My mom who usually loves lentil soup but hates vinegar was not a fan, so I happily cleaned the bowl. The grilled artichoke was a show stealer. It came on a bed of hummus, with grilled bits of asparagus, tomatoes, maybe onions or garlic? It was delicious and we left trying to figure out how we could recreate it at home. For our entree, we split the signature salad and added salmon and avocado. The salmon came on the side with capers and on a bed of lettuce. To add salmon, it was an extra $18 which is alot, but at least it was a pretty decent size. Still, $18 is a lot and it was another extra $6 or $7 to add the avocado. So yes, it was delicious, but definitely not $40+ for a salad delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a beautiful space with friendly staff and a delicious menu.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It can be pricey but at least it is BYOB! If you find yourself in this cute little town craving Greek food, it's a good choice.

Really amazing place! The service was amazing and super friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was perfect for either date dinner / brunch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Most guests were adults 21+ at least the time we went. The food was just amazing, juicy and tender lamb, great veggies grilled I wish I knew what they sautéed with! The guest that got salmon said she got the best salmon in her life! I dont usually get lamb but I was curious. It was so soft and tender. Well seasoned. Only downside was the potatoes, that was only salty thing from the dish. The kebab was also so so delicious. I am not sure if the baklava is originally looks like this but they were very strong in nutty and cinnamon flavor and was not sweet at all. Overall would give 4.5 stars out of 5

Catch of the Day - Bronzino
Matthew C.

Excellent Greek restaurant located in the heart of Downtown Millburn! The head chef was previously employed by Avra in NYC for 10 years. We ordered the octopus & tuna tower for appetizers, and each got the Bronzino for our mains. Everything was spectacular and exceeded our expectations of the restaurant. The service was informative and helpful while the atmosphere wasn't anything too special. Regardless, the food was spectacular...FYI it is BYOB. White wine pairs very well with their fish.

I always love trying something off their seasonal pizza menu; during my most recent visit, I loved their maple bacon pizza, which had the perfect balance of sweet and savory. They don't accept reservations, so expect it to be pretty busy, especially during the weekends. Note that they also only have a limited cold food menu during the off hour between lunch and dinner.

Love going in the warmer weather when they open up the doors and have the bar serving on the patio. And let's face it, if you know anything about Arite's you know that there will always be a wait on the weekends. Having the bar and the patio makes waiting a breeze! The food is seriously better than ever. I actually think the pizza is even better at this new spot than the previous location. The sleeper favorite for me is the maple bacon pizza. Takes the white pie to another level and has become a go to for me. Always, I repeat always, order the meatballs and save the sauce for your pizza crust. The farmers salad is always a must for me as well. No one does a salad like Artie's. Give this place a shot because trust me, you won't be disappointed.

The employees were so friendly when I arrived and the food is delicious!! I got the handheld gyro (chicken yeero) with tomatoes, red onion, fries and tzatziki and it was perfectly balanced. I also got a Greek salad and was so happily surprised with how refreshing it is! The tomatoes are so good. I only wish there was a smaller size to get as a side dish. Overall 10/10!

I'm seeing many 3-4 star reviews from fellow Yelpers and I keep thinking that perhaps my experience…read morewas a singular one. The two stars I'm giving here is for the restaurant itself. This restaurant looks great. There is a nice counter area to order, a really nice seating area inside and even outdoor seating. Some of the decor makes you feel like you're in a household's kitchen. By the cashier there is a table you can wait at complete with local newspapers. It's very charming. This was my first visit and I ordered my food to go. I had two key dishes. The first was hummus with falafel, which is very standard for me whenever I go to any Mediterranean place. When I opened the take out box at home I was really surprised. Most places give you a good amount of hummus, but here it was basically a thin layer. Kind of like a layer of mayo on a sandwich (maybe a tad thicker). Then on top of the hummus was a huge layer of pickled vegetables and tiny pickles. This was a surprise. I've had hummus orders from a lot of restaurants before and I've *never* seen this on an order before. Then the falafel balls were on top and well...they were really dry and didn't have much flavor. Now, sometimes you can cover that up by just coating the falafel in hummus, but there wasn't enough hummus to do that. The dish was just disappointing all around. The other dish I tried were the Lemon Potatoes. They were good! The lemon flavor was strong and they were cooked well. Not the best example in the area, but they would do in a pinch. At some point I'll give this place another try. Maybe this was a fluke (at least I hope so).

Once you bite into it, the chicken isn't mushy at all -- you can actually see the fibers, and it's very juicy and tender. The seasoning is well done and not overly salty. I went with their house sauce, which has a slightly pickled chili vibe -- mildly sour, a bit spicy, and with a unique aroma that's hard to describe but really enjoyable. The fried chicken burger was also impressive -- definitely shows some skill in execution. One unexpected highlight was the cornbread. I usually don't enjoy cinnamon-flavored desserts, but this one grew on me quickly. The texture was excellent, and it ended up being a pleasant surprise. Service was great -- the staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and comfortable. Overall, a small spot but a really enjoyable visit. Would come back.

I recently dined in and outside of it being a bit cold for my liking, I enjoyed the experience. The staff is prepared for rushes and worked well through our Wednesday night visit. Which lended to an understanding of how much local MAPSO leans on this place. It was packed on a Wednesday night. All of that to say - my wife considers this one of the best chicken sandwiches she's ever had in her lifetime. I second, the salmon sando is my order and it's always fresh and perfectly cooked. Everything is is absolutely delicious. Never leave without a kale salad and a adobo.
