    My new favorite suburban Greek restaurant! Tucked away in a nondescript strip mall, the atmosphere is contemporary and upscale, service is excellent, and food was very good. We also appreciated their choice in dinnerware/china. Looked more like special occasion dinnerware in your home vs the standard Greek restaurant china. They have a nice selection of hot and cold appetizers, but we of course started with the saganaki and avgolemono soup. Saganaki was as expected, as was the soup. The soup was a hearty portion in a very large bowl, almost too much. We both had the lamb kapama. It was a large, braised, fall off the bone lamb shank, served with risotto in a tomato sauce. It was done perfectly and was too much to much to finish so we both brought enough home for another meal each. We ordered a side of roasted potatoes that were amazing and enough for two or three. We finished the meal off with a refreshing pistachio gelato. The overall menu is solid, but likely not as broad as many Greek restaurants, but I would not let that deter you. They also have a nice selection of wines and cocktails. Highly recommend!

    Excited for a greek restaurant that offers a Dakota salad on it's menu. The food, lamb and spinach and cheese pie, were tasty and well prepared. Owners, Dimitri and wife made us feel welcome and we're very attentive to our table. Will definitely return, so many items we want to taste!

    First time dining here. Great selections of water, which is so nice. The olive spread was fabulous. We had chicken with potatoes, pork souvlaki and rose marina to share. Wines were great. Pistachio gelato and sorbet were perfect ending to our meal. Cannot wait to go back. Our waiter George was fabulous. Great suggestions gave us time to order. Everyone was so kind.

    Very relaxing and high quality experience here last weekend with friends. Food and drink was excellent. Shared special prawns for meze and they were delicious and felt special. Everyone remarked on how delicious the food was after we left. Definitely will return.

    Raki is extraordinary. We love Greek food, and we've travelled to Greece. This is the BEST Greek food in our area. Lake night I had the Sea Bass, it was served piping hot and it was delicious. I am gluten-free, and they accommodated that with ease.
