You can take beautiful insta pictures here but that’s about it. The food was horrible and all premade/microwaved. The lamb was not fully cooked and tasted stale. The moussaka tasted like awful. Way overpriced. Waste of money and time. And what is with the canned broccoli and honey glazed cheap carrots?

Stopped in for lunch after the Old Town Farmers’ Market with our pittie & they quickly found a shaded table in the lovely back patio to keep the pup cool while we dined. The owner asked if he’d like a treat & brought a bone, severs refilled his water bowl with ice water, and he lapped up the attention.

Having been fortunate enough to visit Greece multiple times and take cooking classes – my husband and I love finding new Greek restaurants and this by far blew our expectations away! Wow. We eat here multiple times on trips to DC and the staff is incredibly attentive and friendly and wonderful. If you love authenticity and a romantic environment… come on with your come on – do not miss out on this amazing restaurant. You’re all welcome in advance. And the Mediterranean diet is one of the best ones!! Love love love and we will always come back here !!!

The food was amazing, and the staff really took an interest in serving us and made some amazing suggestions. I notice the staff was very interactive with most customers. It was like real service back in Greece where they enjoy making great suggestions, and it was appreciated.

The ambiance is very beautiful and chic, creating a fun, open and cozy environment. I tried the eggplant mezza and it was smooth and delicious! A perfect place to come for a Greek Meal and good hospitality.

Best Greek food I’ve ever had in the US. Fresh and incredible. They have a huge range of authentic dishes and all 5 of us tried something different and all were fantastic. My only regret is that i didnt leave enough room for dessert. The sampler dinner was amazing and so filling… we loved it. The decor is great and the staff is friendly and attentive. We loved it! Looking forward to our next visit!

Generous sampler plate of 5 dinner dishes was delicious. The flamed saganaki in photo was small block but also very good. Their purple dessert wine was quite tasty! It was too hot inside the restaurant on an early June evening so dress lightly but definitely will be back! Pastitos best I have ever had. Bechamel was phenomenal on mousaka too!

A very pretty restaurant, with a lovely patio garden. Service was superb. We celebrated my birthday with a lunch. We had grilled octopus, taramasalata, and saganaki for appetizers followed by grilled lamb chops, salmon and avocado stuffed with crabmeat. We enjoyed each dish very much. We shared one dessert (enough for the 3 of us) as we were stuffed after our meal. Dessert was alright…I would try something else next time. We had Galaktoboureko.
