★★★★★ 5.0 Sophia Wang · Feb 2026

Another fantastic meal here. The grilled fish was perfectly seasoned and so fresh, and everything came out hot and flavorful. Great service and a cozy atmosphere. One of my favorite places in town.

★★★★★ 5.0 Valentina Nova · Oct 2025

Visited on a whim this spot that replaced “Greek to Me” and was pleasantly surprised. The ambiance is very attractive with indoor/outdoor seating and comfortable setup. The service was friendly and attentive from the host to waiters. We ordered the lentil soup and chicken souvlaki platter, but had we been a bigger group we would’ve definitely tried more. Both plates were scrumptious, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. I wish the platter came with one more side and offered a sauce. Would also love being able to get halloumi added on. Overall, this was a great experience and I felt the price and portion was fair.

★★★★★ 5.0 Rouby Avrambos · Mar 2026

We had the pleasure of dining at Meltemi on Valentine’s Day and were fortunate to secure a reservation on short notice. From the moment we arrived, Sofia greeted us graciously and made us feel instantly welcome. The ambiance was warm and beautifully reminiscent of Greece, creating the perfect setting for a special evening. We selected the prix fixe menu and enjoyed the lamb chops with salad and dessert — each dish was excellent, with the lamb chops being truly exceptional. A heartfelt thank you to Sofia, George, and Themelina for their attentive service and genuine hospitality. Meltemi delivered a memorable experience, and we look forward to returning soon — this time with friends.

★★★★★ 5.0 Aida A · Jul 2025

Niko our server was very hospitable & welcoming. The place has only been around for 4 months but we found it on 201 magazine. They recommended the crispy calamari and truthfully, they did not disappoint. We got the swordfish, pita & tzatziki sauce, plus the seafood. The Pinot Grigio complimented our seafood Giouvetsy perfectly. We even tried the Baklava, which was delicious 🥳❤️🥰.

Came in during the heat spell and AC wasn't working. But the servers were very accommodating and gave free bakalava. I recall the prior restaurant and I think this gyros now are better. Greek fries were excellent and spreads were delicious. Shrimp had a nice char, almost too cooked but can't blame due to the heat in the kitchen
