    Wonderful atmosphere and very attentive service. Our waitress was patient with us as we were having a business meeting over dinner and thus took longer than a typical reservation. She was very friendly during touch points while not being overbearing which we truly appreciated and made great recommendations for appetizers.

    Mythos on a Saturday night was busy with many families. The service people were kept hopping with so many patrons. It felt a bit rushed. My friends and I shared the Pikilia (4 dips) and a grilled cheese appetizer. The greek dips were about average, but the Saganaki was delicious. For entrees,I had the grilled shrimp, my husband had the grilled red snapper and my friend enjoyed the grilled salmon. My large shrimp was well prepared, and nicely seasoned. It was a large portion size too. My friend enjoyed her salmon. It was grilled exactly to her liking. My husband’s red snapper was a bit undersized but delicious. They did a nice job in deboning it. We will return.

    Good neighborhood place. It wasn’t busy when we were there, but it still took quite some time for our food to be served. Didn’t enjoy waiting…but I guess that’s the price of freshly-made food. We will continue to eat there.
