    We like the variety on the menu and having another causal Greek place in the area. We had the calamari for an app, I had pork souvlaki bowl (which was a tad heavy), and my wife had the shrimp salad. Good food, but I would need to remember to ask for no sauce next time (it wasn't listed among the toppings, so I didn't know).

    Chicken pita wrap
    Terri D.

    Welcome to Oakton! Best pita bread ever - so pillowy soft - the bomb. Sandwich was stuffed with chicken, yum, would have liked less sauce. Next time will order online where it's easy to customize (and maybe just get the pita only :) We live right around the corner, will def be back.

    What a great find! Found this gem last week on the way home from the office. Great decor, bright and inviting. Associates working were friendly and made sure I understood the menu. Ordered the gyro pita and Big Greek gyro bowl. The presentation for both was amazing. Loved the gyro in paper rather than foil like I get it from other places. I lived overseas and this rivaled some of the great small family owned locations I've been to. The gyro sandwich was packed so full of meat I only ate half and ate the rest later. The Big Greek bowl was full of fresh veggies that provided a nice crunch and contrast to the gyro meat. When you made it to the bottom you find some rice that will help finish off the dressings you applied. Bowl was served with fresh, warm pita! Took my son two sittings to finish also. Great news is the veggies stayed crunchy the next day! Would definitely recommend a visit if you're in Oakton.

    Gyro bowl
    Amy P.

    Enjoyed the dolmas and small Greek salad. SO had a gyro bowl. The dolmas were served warm which made them soft. I wasn't used to that, but the flavor was there. The Greek salad was very good I enjoyed the dressing. The pitawas soft , pillowy and fresh. Really enjoyed that. The gyro bowl was very large, and he could only eat half. Took the rest home, he said the meat was freshly carved and tasty. Service was very good, and everyone was kind. Will go again to try more things.

    Chicken Bowl
    Sanjana R.

    The food here was good, and the quantity was very generous, which I loved. We got the Chicken Bowls, and it was very filling! The taste was fresh and I enjoyed eating it. Restaurant was a little small but very clean. Overall, the service was friendly and fairly quick.

    Pasticchio
    Eydie Q.

    Delicious!!! Great service. Their pasticchio is the best one I've had in a long long time. And I like that it came with two sides.

    We have been looking for a replacement for skorpios since it closed and were very happy to be told about the Big Greek cafe in Oakton. Though it is a little ways down the street for us, it is well worth the trip. We started with the hummus and pita and then had the gyro pita and feta fries. Everything was tasty and the portions were good. The baklava was so yummy. I don't know what honey they use but it was especially tasty! The space is bright and cheerful as is the staff. They are super friendly! There is starting inside or you can carry out. The parking is a very big lot so it is never a problem

    Outstanding fries -- hot, crispy and delicious. The gyros were not hot and were very, very salty. If we go back, it will be for a salad.

    This is the best restaurant in N.Va. Food - 10, Service - 10, Wine Pairings- 10, Front of the House…read more- 10, Ambience - 10, Value - 10, Execution - 10. Wife and I sat at the Chef's Counter for a truly wonderful meal last night. The menu is exceptional, five courses, several with two options, and the progression was just perfect. We really loved all of the dishes, but for sure the ravioli with wild asparagus and ramps is one I will remember for a long time. The octopus was also a memorable dish, and the poussin was complex, layer after layer of flavor and the salt level was so good...just perfect food, perfectly executed. Oh, and shout out to the owner's dad, who is in his 90s and makes the bread, a rich sourdough, served warm, that has a 50 year old starter at its essence. Yum. We did the wine pairings and I def recommend. Some really good wines, curated from small vineyards globally, matched perfectly and well presented. The sommelier nailed it. We also just loved the service. Nice touches pre arrival, they are expecting you when you arrive and there's a lovely personal touch and welcoming feel. The ambience is warm, and you can hear and talk and it does feel like you're at a dinner party with friends and family. Finally, shout out to the chefs and servers. Knowledgable, conversational, and charming. We really enjoyed the Chef's Counter and the entire experience. Kudos to Chef Jon Krinn and his family for creating this masterpiece of a restaurant. It is Michelin star worthy, and we cannot wait to go back.

I mean shame on them because they deserve some seriously high praise. And honestly, they pulled out all the stops for their recent New Years Eve dining experience - I'm talking caviar, white truffle, A5 wagyu, a custom cocktail (because they know I like gin and yuzu) and a painfully decadent dessert - What a way to send out 2025! I mean, honestly, the meal was exquisite and so perfectly executed. Each dish is crafted with a passion and care for food that absolutely shines. I mean the Foie Gras (sp??) - I don't even really like the stuff, put the way they sauteed it, put it on top of some sort of savory cake and slathered it with this balsamic gastrique - it was like bacon and pancakes smothered in maple syrup just amplified to 100. Bottom line: I would eat this every day (and amplify my weight by 100 too). The snow crab, I don't know if it's the care in selecting the product or the techniques used to prepare it (probably both ), but they packed so much crab flavor into that dish! And the dark chocolate cheesecake, it was magic that can make something so dark, so bold, so rich feel so light when you are eating it. This was just one specific meal here, but I am surprised and delighted every time we get the privilege to dine at Elyse. It's not just the food, it's the atmosphere and the attention of the staff. They remember details from your previous visits, any special notes from your reservation and really tailor the experience to you, making it all that much more special on your special night out

This cafe is located in Vienna, and there's plenty of free slanted parking in front as well as parking in the complex next to and across if you're willing to walk. I've been to this location when it first opened years ago and they've really upped their menu and decorations inside since. The ambiance inside is beautiful, ideal for anyone looking for a good Instagram picture. There's so many angles and details so that no matter where you're sitting, there's a good vibe. There's also gorgeous seating outside since it can get crowded. For food, you order from the front and they'll call you when the food is ready. We ordered the dubai gelato and pistachio lokmas. Both were presented tastefully to make sure our eyes and cameras wanted to eat before our stomachs. The dubai gelato was a quality dessert with a good ratio of milk: cream. The pistachio flavor was evident on top, but it was just a kinda tart vanilla ice cream with toppings. I did like it, however, and it paired well with the lokmas. The lokmas were fried to perfection, a nice amount of chewy, and covered with a good ratio of pistachio cream. They were a decent size and conducive to sharing. The prices of everything, overall, was pretty expensive, but the quality definitely made up for it. I'd recommend this cafe to someone looking for a unique sweet treat, catching up with a group of girl friends of 2-4 people, or for a first date!
