    Falafel pita wrap
    Claire A.

    All I can see is OMG.....this restaurant is very authentic and the food is fantastic. If you follow my posts, you know I travel with my son alot and he's a vegetarian, and quite frankly, a pain in the @ss. I know we're in Savannah GA and it seems odd we're dining at a Greek restaurant, but there was something we both liked. The food was excellent. My son a falafel pita wrap and he said its the best one he's ever had. I had a gyro platter which was excellent and HUGE. We had a spanikopita appetizer which was delicious as well. Good choice, son

    Loved the fits but overpriced. Although, I did enjoy the separation of the Cafe. It seemed as though you could hip from the first pidgin for coffee, next to the restaurant for a sit down meal, and lastly for yogurt or Gelato. Very friendly staff, family oriented, and great Greek a

    Went for a quick dinner, a local from the area recommended this place for an easy gyro because everything on the river will be tourist prices. Fries were hot, all the food was fresh and the food was good. There's plenty of seating inside in the cafe part so we ordered & sat down at the tables- I have no complaints. Looking for food that's good & quick? go here!

    We've been here twice, once as a to go order and the latest for sit down dinner. We will be coming back for any and all celebrations. Food: 10/10 amazing tasting everything. We had a party of 4 and ordered Lamb, stuffed fish, steak, Greek lasagna, and Calamari. Everything was so delicious. It took some time to get to our table but the flavor was well worth the wait. Great portion sizes too. Service: Erin was our server and absolutely amazing. She made our experience worth all 5 stars. She knew about the meals as well as wine and drinks to pair. She made sure we had what we needed without pestering us every 5 minutes. We felt like we could really sit down and enjoy ourselves. She even sent us home with baklava as a welcome to Savannah as we just moved here. Ambiance: very warm relaxing feeling, like you were meeting up on a summer evening with close friends and family. The music was a wonderful addition and even the occasional "OPA!" Was a positive to the air of the restaurant. Other guests were welcoming and suggested some great food we will try next time. You should definitely try this. We came later in the evening so it wasn't too busy, it can be packed during the day, for a good reason!

    Calamari platter

    This was my second time here like 2-3 years later. We came back because we had a positive experience on our first visit. This second time around wasn't as great. The appetizers were tiny, the food took over an hour to come out, service was pretty slow... it was a mediocre experience and we'll likely not return at this point. The food was alright (calamari platter at least) but nothing crazy either and the prices have increased a lot while the portions have decreased more.

    Stayed at the Hyatt on River Street and in search of local eats. We decided to pop in to Olympia Cafe since we had a stroller with a baby and luckily they were able to get us a table in the corner. This was baby's first time at the restaurant. We ordered calamari, souvlaki, gyro (yeero), and fish and chips. We asked for some mixed veggies for baby and received bell peppers, onions and zucchini. So don't get your hopes up for kid friendly peas and carrots. The plates were good, plentiful. I enjoyed the fresh bread for the table and also the calarmari was perfect. Lightly breaded and paired with a cool dipping sauce. Every so often a server would come by and make a fire with a table appetizer and it lit up a big flame. The ambiance feels authentic, very intimate. A family next to us had about four kids which I can tell annoyed some of the patrons. However it was great to see a family having a meal with all the wildness that comes with it. Overall it was a good experience and would recommend trying if you are on River Street and looking for romantic dinner.

    I'd give Olympia Cafe 6 stars if I could. It's that good. It's far superior to any of the Greek restaurants in Tarpon Springs, FL, which has a huge Greek population and lots of Greek restaurants. The food was incredible, the service was attentive, and the ambiance was just perfect. The owner is delightful. He came to the table a couple of times to ensure we were happy with our dinners and even sent a red roasted pepper appetizer to the table, which we thoroughly enjoyed. It was a great dining experience, and I highly recommend it.

    This was the response from one of their employees, via private message. This was my response: Im sorry for their loss, but if you are in this business, serving the customer, you will need to give good customer service. Your restaurant is NOT CHEAP! We deserve to have at the very least a good server. If you need time to GRIEVE, you have closed your restaurant to give staff the time to grieve. Unacceptable on your part, you are making an excuse for the poor customer service OVERALL.

    Side Greek salad

    Greek restaurant in the River District area. Tried the gyro dinner, grilled branzino, and horta -- all excellent choices with great presentation and flavor. The Greek frappe coffee, however, could use some improvement and is something the restaurant team may want to consider.

    Wonderful location for people new to the city. Perfect spot to watch sunset and get beautiful views…read moreof the city, the river, and passing ships/boats. Highly recommend the whipped feta. All of the drinks were great!

    A great spot for a lazy Sunday afternoon. While in town for a few days and an open afternoon we…read morewanted a comfortable spot to sit back, have a glass of wine and just enjoy the opportunity "to just be." Bar Julian fit that need perfectly. On the river front, 13 stories up, views galore and options both inside and out. We chose a high top near one of the open patio doors and ordered a bottle of wine. A chilled Sauv. Blanc that was delicious arrived. We just needed some p & q so we each broke out our earbuds and drifted into one audio books. Just lovely. It wasn't long before we noticed a few nearby tables getting food delivered and it looked delicious. We inquired and ordered the Whipped Feta with Crudités. Our wonderful server highly recommended the Oven Bread as an easy add-on. We are so glad we ordered the Oven Bread as it was mind blowing. Simple, hot, salty and tender - puffed, pizza like dough that we could have ordered 3 more and one for the ride home. I asked the server how often she takes one home and she said her addiction has adjusted down to just 1 a week! The cheese and bread were lovely together and the watermelon radish and cucumber slices were great too. We relaxed, snacked and chilled. A perfect Sunday afternoon that ended too soon with impending weather encouraging us to get back to home base.
