My husband and I were in Orlando for a convention and decided to have dinner at Taverna Opa because…read moreit was nearby. Unlike the venue in Hollywood, Florida, which is near our home, this one is larger and brighter and more spacious. The food is just as good and the atmosphere also is cheery and bright. We had the saganaki and the grilled octopus appetizers. Both were very good. Although we are used to cold, marinated octopus we thoroughly enjoyed this grilled version. For dinner, hubby had the lamb board and I had the slow-cooked lamb. Both were savory and satisfying, and we had enough leftovers for the next day's lunch. We were adventurous and tried the Galaktoboureko dessert, custard wrapped in honey phyllo. It was served warm, and it was sweet and creamy. Our server Rafael was very attentive. About the only problem we had was that the appetizers and entrees arrived at the same time. Say what? Nico, one of the managers, chatted with us before and told us he had worked at the Taverna Opa in Hollywood. After our meal, he stopped by to see if we liked this restaurant and even offered us a taste of mastiha, a Greek liqueur. Hubby doesn't drink, but I gladly accepted a shot (and really liked it). We had dinner around 6 pm and the entertainment was starting just as we were leaving a bit after 7 p.m. We couldn't stay longer because we had to catch a speaker. Dinner for 2 with 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, 1 dessert, tax, and tip was $137.

They serve them at lunch, I offered to pay more to have the kitchen do it but the server just said he wouldn't do it (he never asked kitchen). Putting meat in a wrap...

The moussaka was so good i can't wait to go back. The pita was warm and fresh and paired great with the hummus. We sat outside so we had a great view of the lake. 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! The baklava was just ok but it was my first time trying so it's possible I just am not a fan. They have a small parking lot but there should be plenty of parking along the lake. Overall such a yummy experience and a new go to spot for Greek food in the area!

The salmon was delicious. However, I retracted my tip and will not return…read more It was my first time to eat there. I was only one of two parties in the restaurant. 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.

I was really looking forward to trying The Great Greek based on the reviews, but unfortunately this…read morewas a disappointing experience. I ordered via DoorDash and For nearly $69 before tip, I expected fresh, flavorful Greek food. Instead, much of the meal tasted like it came straight from a grocery store container rather than being made in-house. The hummus was bland and unusually runny, lacking the rich garlic, lemon, and olive oil flavors I typically expect. The salads arrived without dressing, which left them dry and difficult to enjoy. Overall, the food felt very under-seasoned and lacked the bright, fresh flavors that make Greek cuisine so good. The biggest disappointment was the baklava. The phyllo dough appeared underbaked, remaining pale and almost translucent rather than the golden, flaky texture you'd normally expect. It was soft and gummy instead of crisp and layered. I had to pop it in my oven for a couple minutes to make it edible. Maybe this was an off night, but for the price point, the quality simply didn't match expectations. Sadly, this is not a meal I'd order again.

We found this Moroccan restaurant a couple of years ago and have always stopped by whenever we're in the area. We decided to make it our first dinner this time around. I can't say much about the vibe or service since we ordered takeout, but the owner (or the guy at the register) was very nice and friendly. What we ordered: Tagine Kefta -- Meatballs, eggs, and bread. A little oily and juicy, but with the bread provided, it was the best combination. A+ Tagine Lamb -- Lamb shank with rice. Very delicious and flavorful. A+ Mixed Gyro & Chicken Platter -- A very generous portion! It took us two days to finish it, and it was absolutely delicious. A+ Dessert - Merguez -- A very big slice of cake, not too sweet, with just the right amount of sweetness. With tea, it's the perfect combination! The only downside was that it had been frozen beforehand, so because of that, I'll give it an A instead of an A+. Overall: Definitely an A+! A great Moroccan spot that we'll happily come back to and recommend to others.

The good: the hummus and the chicken shawarma were amazing…read more The bad: the tabouli was awful. I love tabouli and order it at every Mediterranean restaurant I go to, and this was the worst I ever had. The ingredients might have been off (either the ratio, or maybe something even went bad. It looked normal but tasted terrible). When we asked for cups of water (after spending upwards of $100) we were told they "don't do that" - because obviously they expect you to purchase bottled water. I find this to be unacceptable. Last but not least: we witnessed a cockroach crawling across the floor. One of the little German ones. Although not as scary as their larger, American counterparts, they still carry lots of germs that can make you sick, and when you see one you can assume there are many more close by. Would I be back? Hard pass. I'm sure I can find great hummus and chicken shawarma elsewhere.
