During the course of the night, they got 1 other table & a few take out orders. There were 2 people working the restaurant - the owner who was cooking & a kid who doubled as a waiter & dishwasher. Food was very good - tabouleh, homemade pita, tender falafel & the beef cube skewer. The chicken skewer was dry. They only offer 2 desserts &b were out of baklava on a Friday night! They gave us free turkish coffee. Bathrooms were hideous - men's room toilet didn't flush & the women's room toilet had the handle dangling from it. I would try it again only because the food was good & I really wanted to try the baklava. BYO!

Bright tile, plants everywhere, wicker chairs, color on color, but nothing feels forced. It is casual, comfortable, and still sharp enough to make lunch feel like a proper little escape. Lisette took great care of us, and the whole meal had that confident, spice-forward rhythm that makes this place easy to recommend. The Sweet Corn hummus was the sleeper hit, creamy and bright with just enough chili and lime to wake everything up. The Spice Boys Burger is absolutely worth ordering, especially if you want something familiar that still has personality. The Falafel Bowl with harissa was fresh, colorful, and loaded with texture, and the pita on the side made it even better. I also loved the dragon fruit hibiscus iced tea, which was refreshing without being boring. Bonus points for being kid-friendly without watering down the menu. The kids had the kids' nuggets, a kids' cheeseburger, and finished with the pretzel cookie, so the table covered a little bit of everything. For the quality, portions, atmosphere, and service, it felt like a meal worth coming back for. This is the kind of Sarasota spot that makes you start planning the next order before you've even left.

We had lunch here today and ordered the trio of dips, a couple glasses of wine, gyro platter with Greek fries (nicely seasoned), Pastitsio and green beans, moussaka, and baklava. The Greek food was all very good, feta cheese used was on point, Greek potatoes and fries were one of my favorites don't change them, and the Pinot washed it all down with a smile. If I had to give some Critique I would say out of everything we had the thing that was slightly off was a touch too much cinnamon in the Pastitsio, but otherwise great food.

You put your order in at the counter and they bring it to your table. I think they should hire a waitress to take your order. Very casual interior with table sitting. Simple but well done in a Greek Motif. Everyone is very cheerful and the owners make sure everything is great. The chicken on the skewers was well seasoned and tender. I chose the house dressing and my wife chose Tazaki sauce. Both were great. I had the Village Fries with a side Greek Salad and my wife the Greek Potato Salad. Everything was very good. Great to have El Greco back and a welcome addition to the restaurant scene. Make sure you try them out . You won't be disappointed!

On our last…read moreday, we wanted something delicious, yet nutritious for lunch and we're excited to find El Greco kitchen and market. I am a huge fan of a loaded Mediterranean bowl, so I was feeling really good about my choice. The reviews were also great. The prices were pretty good for the amount of food we got. A woman at the counter, taking my order was helpful and kind. And the interior is decorated perfectly and truly makes you feel like you are in Greece. Unfortunately, my good experience stopped after I left the restaurant. The food was just too mediocre to seek out again. The "herb rice" that was the base of my bowl was white rice with a little bit of what seemed to be chopped oregano mixed in. It was nearly flavorless. The chicken souvlaki had nice flavor, but was dry. The tomatoes were huge chunks of a less than average grocery store tomato. I will say that the house dressing and the spicy feta sauce were both excellent and I would gladly eat those items again. The pita bread was totally fine. We ordered beat hummus as it is a favor of mine, and it tasted spoiled, and neither myself or my toddler could eat more than a bite. The greens on the bowl were either straight arugula, or a mix of arugula and spring greens. I feel like that should be advertised as arugula is such a strong flavor that many do not like (including me). The bathroom was very clean. And parking is easy in the plaza lot.
