Customer Reviews
Firstly, the ambience- There may be other areas within but we sat in the main area. It is quite understated. Not too garish. I quite liked it. Second, the Service- It was quite courteous and efficient. Granted that there was not too much crowd. But still it was quite decent. Third, the food - There are a great deal of vegetarian options. We had the skewer, tge salad and some dips. They were all great. Very tasty. The wine they recommended to our preference of full bodied- St.George was very good and paired well. Great experience overall.
Beautiful welcoming Greek Restaurant. Clean, wheel chair accessible, visible from street, street parking or valet. Near train and bus station . When you walk in you’ll be greeted with a smile and make you feel at home to a Greek oasis in Chicago. Beautiful Decor and bar with people ready to give you the Greek tour on gastronomy and culture aid by good Greek music. Cozy and comfortable atmosphere. Excellence on presentation, freshness, seasoning, flavor. Excellent Chef ….Is November 2025 we visited Athens, Corfu and Crete just last April so we had high expectations when comparing of course and we were very pleased with service, food, ambiance also met Nick and Nissa managers of the place and see the high standards of service on this must visit place to seat and have a wonderful experience.
The food was amazing, and the portions were generous. I had the best veggie moussaka I've ever tasted. It was creamy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious! The dessert options had a nice variety, and the ice cream was light and not overly sweet. The ambiance made it feel like being transported to the Greek Islands, with a lovely atmosphere and a beautiful fountain that really added to the experience. The server was very nice, and the staff overall were just as welcoming. I can't wait to return and bring family or friends along to enjoy it too.
Great staff, food ways delicious and fresh. If you want to go to a nice cute place to eat, stop by here for sure
Went during Greek Fest so it was really busy, but we were seated quickly and the service was honestly impressive. The terrace is beautiful and I definitely recommend sitting outside if you can. Bread was disappointing, but the meat was juicy (though not quite cooked to medium well as ordered). My friend had the lamb and really enjoyed it. We skipped drinks and dessert since we were so full, but our bill still came close to $100.
