WOW! I'm so glad I gave this restaurant another chance. I was impressed that after my first visit,…read morethe Manager, Ken Melton, contacted me to discuss some issues I experienced per my review last month. Mr. Melton asked specific questions relative to the date I initially dined and other circumstances with certain food items. Based on this recent visit, I found out one of the chefs in the kitchen that first night I dined is no longer employed there. Obviously, this person was let go as they did not follow the quality standards instilled by Mr. Melton based on the experience and the meal I had this evening. I invited my fellow Yelp friend, Ricki, to join me as she was interested in this restaurant herself. She was impressed with the ambience of the restaurant as well as our exceptional server, Ashlyn. Ashlyn was truly a five star server. She was diligent in her duties, provided lively conversation and just added to the overall relaxing and enjoyable evening. (She also makes a great cosmopolitan, which I'll get to later in the review.) As for the food, this visit was truly a gratifying experience also. I recommended the spanakopita to Ricki based on my first visit, and she was impressed with the platter and the amount of food presented as the appetizer. She also ordered the Lamb Lollipops (French rack of Lamb, cooked, medium, and seasoned well). She had me try one of them and I agreed they were outstanding. She finished off her magical dining experience with the baklava cheesecake for dessert and declared she was more than satisfied with the overall meal. As for me, I gave the Ouzo Mussles a second try. The presentation alone was quite different from my initial experience with this appetizer. (See the previous picture and the recent picture.) The creamy ouzo sauce, enhanced with garlic, onion, basil and tomato was divine. No salty taste, plus you could tell the mussles were fresh, as Ricki agreed. I noticed that this time, the appetizer included sliced Parmesan cheese on top of the mussels (as stated on the menu ), but was missing from the appetizer during my initial visit. (Possibly why one new kitchen chef was appropriately let go?) For my entrée, I chose Chicken Rhodes, which consisted of perfectly grilled chicken breast slices, sautéed with artichoke, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach and olives. it was topped with feta cheese and served with roasted vegetables. It was an excellent dish! For dessert, I had Mama's Honey Cake. It was just as good as the first time I had it. For drinks, Ricki started off with The Painkiller. Based on the smile on her face, I knew she was enjoying that drink selection. For me, I went with the Pomegranate Cosmopolitan, which I had last time and thoroughly enjoyed that concoction. For our second round of drinks, Ashlyn recommended I add mango to this drink, which she created herself. When Ricki heard mango, she decided to have that as her second choice also. Besides being a great waitress, Ashlyn definitely possesses excellent bartender skills. The drinks were presented with an orange slice and a lime peel and were heavenly. They were so good, we decided to have one more to complete the evening. Thank you, Mr. Melton, for taking the time to listen to customer feedback and taking necessary action to keep up the high standards of this restaurant. A special shoutout to Mike, the Night Manager, who stopped by our table and had a nice conversation with us. We will definitely be back.

It sits in a large ornate business center/hotel lobby, it is a bit confusing on getting there from where you parked (the parking garages seem to have 50 contradictory signs) but the interior is very nice, clean, modern, while still feeling "Greek" enough. The appetizer sampler was very good with more than enough dip and bread for everything, of note the baba ghanoush had a distinctly smokey flavor which I liked but my dinner date did not. The falafel platter was also light, crispy, and excellent. All of our cocktails were very light, bright, floral and well made, with the perfect amounts of alcohol. And the honey cake was absolutely to die for. Worth the trip alone. I should note that as I was wrapping up I somehow managed to karate chop my martini glass, twice in a row, and sent a CASCADE of glass all over myself, my drinks, and possibly the outer reaches of Jupiter. Our waitress was super nice about it and mentioned she sees broken glasses everyday, though mine was definitely the most unique execution of the technique. Wonderful little restaurant, and I plan on going back soon to try a wider array of their selections. I will probably request a plastic cup however, for my own safety.

The vibe is very small and intimate run entirely by a husband and wife staff of two. They had 5 parties dining at the same time and seemed to be their only searing for the Friday evening. The wife was our server and was super friendly. They had reached out to me ahead of time due to my crustacean allergy originally saying one of the courses was shrimp which they had no substitute for and so I asked if I could double up on something else and they said they would see what they could do. Not only did they have a substitute (we got to be the first ones to try a brand new chicken dish) but they made sure everyone at the table also got a serving. The meal was 3 courses made up of 5 dishes and they had a 3 and 5 wine glass pairing. The shrimp were huge and I loved the crunch kernels in the salad. The chicken was juicy and had a nice kick. The steak was so tender and the mushrooms were crunchy and flavorful. The sauce in the dessert was also surprisingly flavorful. The meal took a couple of hours and the portion sizes were pretty large for a tasting menu!

The only time available for reservation is at 7pm, and only a set number of tables are served at that time. We start with olives as the appetizer, which were surprisingly enjoyable, I normally hate olives but these taste more like olive oil rather than actual olives. Only thing was it was a little saltier than I would have liked. Next was the salad, which was one of the better dishes. It was light, refreshing, and different tastes and textures with the crunchy corn. For the proteins, overall lots of great flavors and is cooked to perfection. My only complaint, again, is that too much salt is used for my liking. The first bite is the best, but then you start to feel it, the need for water. Finally the dessert were picarones, fried sweet potato with a fruit syrup. I was not a fan of the donut to syrup ratio, theres way too much syrup, but at least it's a nice contrast of sweet and crispy golden on the outside, and soft and moist on the inside. I also liked the quantity of the food, had leftovers to take back which is a lot for a Michellin star restaurant.

There was also indoor seating and it was decorated nice on the inside. The service was also incredible. My sister got the gyro and enjoyed it!

I asked upon entering about the authenticity of the Greek Potatoes (which I really enjoy at Santorini's and at The Acropolis) . When my waitress came around I reiterated how I was looking forward to the Greek Potatoes and what would she recommend to go with them. I told her I was not interested in any other carbs so bring me her recommendation with veggies and whatever comes with it that she thinks would be good for me. She came back and said I HAD TO pick soup or salad - something we had discussed that I didn't want. Just the yellow potatoes & veggies if she had any that weren't all carbs. 1/2 way through the meal I asked her if there was a reason I didn't get my Greek Yellow Potatoes: this is where things went wrong. She said she was sorry that that was "her bad." As I was about to leave she said she was going to have to Add Another charge for my potatoes. 5.27 - I gave her my reasonable objection and she still said she was sorry that she forgot them but was still going to have to Charge ME. NEEDLESS to say I will not be back nor will I recommend. It was just me. $24 for the lunch special and I believe I was clear with "what does that include" and "can I forego soup and salad and substitute something else." I reiterated my objections to staff as I was leaving and retracted tip and did not order my cookies. I was calm and polite. But I felt unwelcome and cheated. Nobody tried to fix this. No bread of any kind was included and she was sure of that tho at the time all I had were a few canned green beans in sauce with nothing to use to push them onto my fork. Okay - but I could use my Potatoes for that but they were not here.

If you judge it only from the outside, you'll probably never go in. But take a chance--you won't regret it. The moment you step inside, you're transported somewhere else. The décor is simple, yet warm and inviting, making the space feel incredibly cozy. The service took a little while, but like they say, everything good in life takes time. We started with the Pisco Sour and the Maracuyá Sour, two traditional Peruvian cocktails that were the perfect way to begin our Peruvian culinary journey. For appetizers, we had the Yuquitas Inka and the Classic Ceviche. The Yuquitas Inka are a crispy cassava balls filled with cheese and served with huancaína sauce. The only thing you need to know is that these are little clouds from heaven, covered in an absolutely incredible sauce. Now for the Classic Ceviche, simple flavors done right. You can truly taste how fresh the fish is and that everything is made to order. Sometimes, classic really is better, and this ceviche is the perfect example. For our entrée, we ordered the Lomo Saltado. The tenderloin was cooked to perfection and literally melted in our mouths. It was so tender that, even after feeling full, we couldn't stop going back for another bite. The savory sauce tasted like pure comfort, and the crispy french fries were the perfect vessel to soak up every last drop. Served alongside rice, this is an exceptional dish and an absolute must-order. To finish the meal, we had the Tres Leches, a traditional Latin American dessert found in many countries, yet I'm always amazed by how unique each version can be. Their Tres Leches is incredibly moist, topped with crispy coconut flakes, and was the perfect sweet ending to an unforgettable meal.
