The food was impeccable as always and transports you straight back to a holiday long ago on a Greek island, with the Mediterranean sun warming your skin, that feeling of eating and drinking way too much (but not stopping) and washing your gluttonous sins away with a bob based dip in a very salty sea with a carafe or two of rosé waiting for you on the shore.

People love it. The fact that is was so popular meant that I had to try it. I can see why people are crazy for this place. The food is great and the people are genuine where they clearly have a huge following. It's perfect for families, groups or in couple where another upside is that it's BYO with no corkage (so that's why it's always packed). Its vibrant and welcoming feel is so appealing and with the food being exceptional, it's a great dinner night out!

Tried to go on our first evening in Melbourne, but unfortunately the place was closed due to a private function (Christmas party). Came back a few days later. The weather had changed so it was unfortunately not the sitting outside kind of weather we had hoped and what looked like Trunk was designed for. Decided that we would go to the diner side, instead of the Italian side. Walked in and what struck us immediately was the noise! We had our hearts set on trying this very cool little spot. We initially had to wait for some seats to be cleaned up, even though there was a number of open tables. Once seated our server(s) were very friendly and we had our food on the table in no time. I went for the burger and my wife went for the chili salad. My burger was ok, but the bun was such that it nearly disintegrated and I was left trying to eat a squished out mess. I tried my wife's meal and it was definitely very tasty. Overall, The food was good, but not fabulous, like I had hoped. Even though the place was only 1/2 full, the noise levels were such that we had to nearly yell at each other to be heard. The entire place is glass, hardwood floors and metal chair (which make a seriously loud noise when moved). This would have been a cool place to linger and chat, but unless you have a blowhorn that's just not possible. Out servers were very friendly and good. I think had we been able to sit outside this would have been a fabulous spot. I'll go back, as long as I can enjoy my meal outside.

I had a lamb fillet which was served with Lebanese potato and vegetables. I wasn't quite sure what to expect taste wise, but it reminded me of Greek cuisine with a little more spice. The lamb was beautifully tender, it practically melted in my mouth. The prices are quite high, with the mains averaging around the $30-35 mark. As nice as I thought the meal was I find it hard to rationalize spending so much when I can get a decent curry and rice for under $10 near by.

I would go back again should the opportunity arise.

The casual atmosphere in this large and loud restaurant is a great backdrop for the menu. Choose from banquet options, mezze or mains, along with platters and sides. The gyros is perfectly cooked and delicious, not quite the same as wandering along a Greek port with gyros in hand, but you can't have everything! The mixed dips are also fresh and flavourful. This place celebrates Greece and specializes in functions so you get to celebrate too. They have a separate function space and also host large groups in the restaurant, if you ask nicely they may even open for just your group at lunch! The last time I was here was a work dinner and the atmosphere, food and music, along with the company, made for a spirited evening. This place is popular on Friday and Saturday night so book ahead if you can. You don't want to miss the belly dancing. Eos is Fully Licensed and BYO wine only. OPA!
