First, we saw an ant on the table. Service was very friendly. It was more like a cafeteria atmosphere and all the servers had to bunch up at the bar section for ONE monitor to order the food. It was definitely too Americanized to be "Greek" food. The one on King Street is hands done so much better and more authentic and cleaner.

Quick lunch. The restaurant was not busy on a Thursday afternoon, thus the service was quick and efficient.

We had an amazing experience dining at Vaso’s. The food was amazing. The service was top notch and the ambiance is so cute and charming. The chicken terre mare was so rich and savory and paired so well with the side of pasta. Loved getting to try Greek beer as well! We’ll be back.

The food was excellent. Service was fine although a bit intrusive. The venue could use some sprucing up.

We enjoyed great food at an excellent price at this popular neighborhood gem, especially during restaurant week when you got your choice of a soup, a salad, an entree and a dessert for $35! The bread they brought prior to the meal was delicious and warm. I especially recommend the gazpacho. The outdoor area is spacious and quiet, but one of our fellow diners wanted to eat inside, which was much noisier on a Friday night.
