This is a wonderful Greek destination as they serve delicious appetizers, seafood, meat, and deserts are amazing! I recommend the octopus and saganaki also the Lamb chops and Lavraki and for dessert I recommend the Galaktobouriko and Baklava. Also our waiter Will was great!
Highly recommend the lunch prix fixe! The amount and variety of appetizers, entrees, and desserts is so worth the $32,, everything was delicious. My cousin and I ordered different dishes and shared everything. The octopus appetizer is a MUST, I’ve never had anything quite like it~ the texture was more soft and chewy rather than rubbery like most octopus dishes, a true delight. The dessert sampler is a must, and honestly any entree would have been good as well. The ambiance inside was beautiful and cozy, lovely service as well. Also the free hummus and pita were delicious!
I’m not Greek but this felt really authentic (for credibility purposes I spent 8 days in Greece last year and I’m almost sure most of the staff was Greek). I am thankful my friend and I found this spot while walking around on a Thursday evening. We each ordered a glass of wine from an excellent selection and decided to split the Imam and Octapodi salad. Delicious! The imam had flavors of French onion soup and the octopus was grilled to perfection. The complimentary pita and hummus was a plus. The staff was a little slow to serve us and it almost felt like we had 3 different waiters, but overall amazing experience.
I thought Eleni’s was decent but it has potential to be better it’s super cute inside and was relatively crowded on a Thursday for dinner. I loved the salad but the lettuce wasn’t washed and I was crunching sand. That gave me trepidation for the rest of the meal. The shrimp were only four and two were large and two were much smaller. The pitas were banging tho! I’m not sure id go back but thank you for having us!
The service was exceptional w/ the waitress providing wine taste tests…Had the grilled squid, fried zucchini/eggplant, octopus, swordfish, orata… The squid was not well prepared and tough but the rest was fantastic. Also didn’t care for the dessert - Galaktompouriko. Overall great experience and will be back!
