Our server was very kind, and he explained that the chefs are the owners, and they are in the kitchen every single night. This is their passion project, focusing on super fresh ingredients, and you can absolutely tell. We started with the bread service, which was delicious. It was covered in seeds and spices, giving it an extra punch of flavor. We then moved on to the cheese saganaki and fried feta, which was my favorite bite of the night! For mains, we got both branzinos. The filet came on a bed of rice and spinach flavored with spices. The filet was perfectly crispy. The whole branzino was also delicious, but just watch out for bones! We were pleasantly stuffed so we didn't try dessert this time, but we'll be back soon!

Food: 5/5 Dishes are explained as slightly larger plates than tapas style. My favorites: Wood Grilled Octopus, Crispy Falafel, Bouillabaisse. Love the Moroccan Mint Tea as well! Service: 4.7/5 Very friendly! They course out your plates for you which I always love. They were able to accommodate my pescatarian diet (I.e., meats on the side to give to others at the table). On a less busy night, they offered a free toast for my birthday. I've been for other celebratory dinners here on busier nights where that hasn't happened, so it was a lovely surprise! Ambiance: 4/5 A little busy and can get loud on the weekends with table chatter, cutlery clinks, and the brick walls echoing noise around. Tables are also close together, so you can definitely hear the conversation next to you. The decor is pleasant and the lighting is soft and romantic enough that it is still a perfect date night spot! There are also a couple larger crescent booths for larger parties.

We were able to score bar seats without a reservation and had a nice time here. Parking - we ubered here, it looks like they had street parking but that might have been more tricky. We tried: Octopus - great, a tad salty Gambas - my husband enjoyed this Salmon - I especially liked the crunchy chickpeas Chenin Blanc Normandia White Blend Neon Lights (cocktail) - not my favorite Rosé - amazing, a great porch pounder.

Ordering was easy and our food was delivered to the table quickly. I ordered the Grilled Lamb Gyro and my daughter ordered the Grilled Chicken Gyro. Both are served with a side of chips and your choice of another side. My daughter chose the Fresh Cut Fruit and I chose the Tomato Cucumber salad. We also ordered the Falafel appetizer. Neither of us cared much for the falafel. We're both big fans of falafel but this falafel was mealy, crumbly and lacking in flavor. I definitely wouldn't ever order it again. My daughter liked her grilled chicken gyro. I thought my gyro was ok. Only ok because the meat had the taste and consistency of processed, frozen beef Steak-ums. It tasted nothing like lamb. The tomato cucumber salad was delicious! The service was quick, the restaurant very clean, and the food was fresh.

Mezedes

We really wanted to like Mezedes Restaurant more than we did. It seems to be run by a nice…read morefamily and service was fine. The restaurant was clean and pleasant. It was the food we ordered that lacked. Maybe we just made poor choices. As we ordered, we saw many hamburgers come out of the kitchen, and they looked really delicious. We were hoping to find a little healthier fare, though, so even though we were tempted by the burgers and the overwhelmingly positive yelp reviews for the gyros, we went with other items from their menu. Hubby tried a new menu item, which was a chicken salad gyro. He said that the idea and the flavor was fine, but the chicken was really dry. It was not that it lacked sauce, but just that the chicken itself had been overcooked or held warming too long. I went with what they had labeled as a Greek dinner. The description on the menu chalkboard described sautéed onions and peppers along with some rice, pita and choice of meat. I guess I had kind of envisioned a platter with all of those items which could be put together in different combinations, with some colorful crisp veggies like we have had at other Greek/Mediterranean restaurants. When my food came out and I saw it for the first time, I actually said "No, that's not what I ordered." I found out, though, that it is indeed what I ordered, but not what I visualized. It was a bowl with rice at the base. The rice was totally covered by kind of a stewed onion mixture that was a brownish gray. It was entirely covering all of the rice and pieces of gyro meat. It was more like a bowl of stew or thickened French onion soup. The onions no longer had any texture to them as they were totally cooked down. Pretty much just all onions. If there had been peppers in there, I could not recognize any. Maybe they had also been cooked so much that they were unrecognizable. OK, I can eat rice with some stewed onions and bits of meat, so I just dug in. Everything was just all mixed together in one note. There was nothing that was a different flavor or texture in the concoction. It was also kind of unappealing sour, maybe lemon or vinegar? It was OK for the first few bites and I could get through it, but I really was pretty done with it halfway through. The pita slices on the side, were pretty good, but not really what I hoped would be the highlight of the meal. If we come back again, I think we should stick to a burger or gyro.

One of our fav gyro spots!…read more Portions are big so my husband and I usually share an order of gyro fries with Greek dressing on the side (I personally don't think gyro fries are gyro fries without the Greek dressing but my husband can do without).
