If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. This restaurant…..so welcoming. No reservations needed. It’s like walking into your family’s house and being served food that makes you smile from ear to ear. The servers speak Greek. The food have portions that your grandma would give you…large. Definitely lots of leftovers.
The grilled calamari…beautifully made. I was with a party of 8. Everyone loved the food.
I had the char-grilled chicken. Juicy, I thought i got the whole chicken. The Greek potatoes..

I’m coming back with many others next time.

We regularly come here and its always a good time. I like that the food doesn’t change much during all these years. Its always the same old good taste and size.
Make sure to try something off the special menu.

This place is just amazing! The food is consistently delicious, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. From the starters to the pasta to the grill, every dish I’ve tried has been full of flavor and cooked perfectly.

The service is also excellent—the staff is attentive, friendly, and always makes sure you’re taken care of. Whether you’re stopping in for a casual meal or a special occasion, it feels welcoming and comfortable.

It’s rare to find a restaurant where every part of the experience stands out, but this one does. That’s why I keep visiting again and again—it never disappoints!p

I had a genuinely impressive experience at this restaurant. The moment you walk in, the ambiance sets the tone—warm, inviting, and thoughtfully designed. The décor and music reflect the restaurant’s Greek background without feeling forced, creating an atmosphere that’s both relaxing and refined. It’s the kind of place where you immediately feel comfortable settling in for a full meal.

The appetizers were a clear standout. Each dish came out fresh, well-seasoned, and true to authentic Greek flavors. From classic staples to more modern interpretations, everything had a clean, well-balanced taste that showed real attention to detail in the kitchen. It’s rare for appetizers alone to set such a strong tone for the meal, but they definitely did here.

The staff matched the quality of the food and environment. Service was attentive, efficient, and consistently on point without being intrusive. They knew the menu well and offered helpful recommendations, which added to the overall experience.

Overall, this restaurant delivers an excellent combination of ambiance, flavor, and cultural character. Whether you’re stopping in for a casual dinner or a more intentional night out, it’s a place that leaves a strong impression and is absolutely worth returning to.

Wow. This place was recommended to me by a Greek friend, and I need to go thank him now.
Although we waited 25 minutes to be seated (Saturday, around 18:00), it was worth it! The restaurant does NOT take reservations, you need to come and stand in line, just be smart about the timing.
The food came extremely fast and was absolutely delicious. We took only hot starters and desserts to share, but the food all around looked fabulous.
I will definitely go again, I want to try more dishes!!
The place was obviously full, so very noisy, but it felt so lively I didn’t feel it didn’t bother me too much.

Plateia is hands down one of our all-time favorite restaurants. We’ve tried many spots, but nothing comes close to their Char-Grilled Mediterranean Octopus and Lamb Chops with XVOO & Lemon! The octopus is tender with the perfect char and citrusy balance, and the lamb chops are juicy, flavorful, and perfectly grilled every time.

The quality is consistently outstanding and the service has always been warm and attentive. We keep coming back and always order the same things because they’re just that good.

We’ve also enjoyed several other dishes here that never disappoint:
Fried Calamari
Shrimp Linguine
Shrimp Mikrolimano

Great, healthy food with many gluten free options! The portions are large. For three hearty eaters, we got two entrees (lamb shanks and pork skewers) and two salads (spinach beet). We had enough leftovers for at least one more person. All of the food was delicious. I consider it a good value for quality. Nice atmosphere and the place was busy but service very efficient and courteous. We felt well cared for. We will be back.

Well I was invited for my friends mom’s birthday and this was the first time coming to this restaurant foods apartments delicious. One thing that shocked me is that they didn’t have traditional domadres. Nevertheless the food was good we had spinach pie we have the octopus which was very delicious it was cooked char-broiled the only dislike was that you have to cut it and we were a family style and yeah at least he could have been us a steak knife. Ambiance was not your traditional Greek ambiance. More contemporary or modern ambience. Okay service was so far good however the greeter had a really bad behavior and audacity to ask my 2 friends while coming in if our party of 8 was here and the rest of our party was not all here and she gave a nasty attitude. I wish they would have gave us clean plates after we’re done with the entree. Or clean utensils after the appetizers. Thus the 4 stars because of the lack of domadres and not giving us clean plates and utensils. The Greek beans as a appetizer was phenomenally delicious

Phenomenal meal at Plateia Mediterranean Kitchen – Bar

Every dish we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented — from the crisp horiatiki salad and savory zucchini fritters to the tender grilled octopus, sizzling saganaki, perfectly grilled fish, and mouthwatering lamb chops. And don’t even get me started on the delicious crepes!

Great atmosphere, friendly service, and authentic flavors that made us feel like we were on a quick trip to Greece. Highly recommend if you’re craving outstanding Mediterranean cuisine!
