It was our first visit, but it definitely won’t be our last. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by the owner, who was incredibly kind. He gave us the option to sit inside or outside and informed us of the wait times for both—such refreshing honesty! While we decided on our meals, we were served warm Kalamata olive bread from the local bakery along with hummus, which was delicious. We ordered the sausage cup, and wow! The aroma alone was incredible, and one bite was an explosion of flavor—it was the best sausage I’ve ever had.

Chris (the owner) was such a nice and genuine guy. Welcomed me, my cousin and pup with open arms! Brought my dog some water and lamb and was pleasant to chat with . All of the servers were so attentive and the food was amazing. The bread and hummus in the beginning were great and the octopus was so tender, my cousin got the lamb platter and it was all so amazing.

Overall, the food is quite delicious, but I found the prices for the main dishes to be quite high compared to their quality. I might just not be a fan of the vegetarian moussaka, as it mostly consisted of potatoes and béchamel, with very little eggplant or zucchini. I didn’t feel it was worth over $20.

I really enjoy their food, but I have to mention that, considering inflation and labor challenges, the prices feel excessively high. For instance, $15 for a 4-ounce cheese appetizer and $10 for half a boiled potato are a bit outrageous. Sorry, Chris! Book a table now

The food here is fantastic! Authentic Greek cuisine in a lovely family-run atmosphere. The staff is warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home. I highly recommend trying the octopus and the pork chops—they're absolutely delicious!

Great authentic food thats has a nice home vibe. Calming music to boot. The owner was very nice and we had a small issue with our gyro platter and he did not hesitate to redo it and bring out a fresh plate. Wonderful meal.

I was hoping for a really delicious moussaka because this is a Greek restaurant, but this wasnt that good. Ive had better moussaka in diners.
