There is plenty of seating inside, and they have an outdoor patio area with natural lighting coming into the store. Now, let's talk about the salads, made fresh daily, and the vegetables, grilled to perfection. A great snack that I just love is the whipped feta; this is a must-try. Even on a busy Saturday at noon they did a great job. 10/10 go try them today.

Ok so My family went on Thurs Sept 3 and well it was a disaster. My salmon in my bowl was raw . Ok…read moreI get it they made another and gave it to me free but yet both salmon also had small bones in it like bone slivers. They had no mint tea and the sweet tea was diabetes in a glass. Ok next time will be the visit that either continues my business with you or I will start going elsewhere. I also will not get salmon again because unfortunately you don't know how to cook salmon it seems . It will be unfortunate if you are no longer in my food rotation but I don't accept food not cooked correctly nor bone fragments in my food. So if you get the salmon check for BONES and check that it is done correctly and cooked through. It was a very disappointing visit . In your rush to get the food out you make mistakes . Just because the outside looks fine does not mean it's fine. My love for this place is fading . Can you guys resuscitate it or will my heart grow cold we will see next visit!!

We travel frequently between TN & FL but it was our First time there. We will definitely return. My husband read great reviews and we agree!

That's a huge plus; the number of times I've seen referees having to pass on the side because they didn't have utensils! The entree was a chicken pita. It did have a few fresh onions, but I enjoyed them since I didn't have to be the one dragon breathing around the field all day. We did have a choice of roasted potatoes or basmati rice. The potatoes went much quicker than the rice; I had the potatoes and they were fantastic. There was also a tray of chocolate chip cookies provided. I don't think they were frash made; they looked similar to other restaurants generic chocolate chip cookies. They were a nice addition to the lunch, though. They also provided sweet and unsweet tea in gallon jugs.

Pitchers of beer and cheap uninspiring bar food aplenty. Second, if you want some good Greek food, go somewhere else. Italian gyro was not good but it was my fault for not noticing it had pizza (marinara?) sauce in it. Meat was so-so, pita was so-so. French fries were the bomb which is why this is 2 stars instead of 1. Greek salad was NOT a Greek salad. Just because you sprinkle some feta cheese in a bowl of lettuce does not make it a Greek salad. Anyway, this might the place just for you if you're going for the first reason.

It's literally a cute little mom and pop restaurant, so I knew that it was gonna be good, and it was gonna be authentic. When you walk in, you order, pay then find somewhere to sit. I ordered the pastichio with green beans, and my guy ordered the grilled ribeye with Greek potatoes and green beans. He absolutely loved the steak, as he said he would because he had been there before. He was as happy as a kid in a candy store. My pastichio was authentic and flavorful but in a couple of places it had been heated up too high which caused the pasta to be extra hard and inedible. Not necessarily a deal breaker. In fact, I placed a to-go order for this same dish to eat tomorrow. The owner was very personable and came around to make sure we were good. The owner's son also offered to discard our paper plates and utensils. Don't go here looking for a fancy, date night restaurant. However, if you want some authentic, well seasoned Greek dishes, this is your place. I will definitely return when I'm in the mood for some delicious Greek food.

On average, for two people, expect to spend between $45-$55 on authentic Mediterranean cuisine that's been a staple in the city for years. Give them a try. You won't be disappointed!
