A fancy twist on a traditional greek menu, the food is amazing especially the halibut, it was so tender it practically melted in my mouth. Also had the prawn n the chicken lemon soup, both were tasty.

This place has it all! Wonderful wait staff, amazing food, and a great ambience.

We started off with the grilled octopus and it was incredibly tender and not chewy at all. For our entrees, we got the branzino and the grilled salmon, both of which were cooked to perfection. We finished off the meal with galaktobourekos and it was great.

The wait staff were all very friendly, starting with the host, who checked in with us regularly, even though the waiter was already doing this. Overall, the food was spot on and I'll definitely be returning here again soon to try some of their other dishes!

We went here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. There is outdoor dining. We ordered Saganaki which was great (5/5), a chicken gyro (4/5) and an impossible burger (3/5). There are very few options for vegetarians.

Good vibe and pretty good food. I give 5 stars but I still have my two cents and some tips:

Tips:
1) This place closes on Monday.

2) Give them a call even if the time slot you want doesn’t look like available as they maybe squeeze you in

Two cents:
1) Saganaki isn’t as thick as the ones I used to have in Greece

2) The moussaka was a little bit too salty, and the eggplant part was chunky, not smooth as it should be.

Some of the beat high end Greek food. I’ve had in SF. The Greek wine collection is on point and The Moussaka is incredible.
