    Highly recommend. First time with lunch resy, and it was fantastic! Far exceeded expectations. Servers (and runners) were attentive to us, even with a food allergy making sure we were ok, drinks were superbly crafted, food was delicious, ambiance and noise level was perfect- full restaurant, but it felt quiet that we could actually hear each other. Great experience all around! Kudos to the team!

    Valentina and Vicki are phenomenal! Great Recs all around and the food and drink were stellar! Don’t sleep on any of the housemate pies especially the one filled with feta and drizzled with honey 🤤

    The staff were very welcoming and the service was excellent. Everyone was so friendly, warm, and easy to talk to. They kindly took the time to explain all the menu items, and their wine recommendation was spot on. They also surprised me at the end by bringing a small dessert with a candle for my birthday, which was such a sweet gesture. On top of that, they gave me a postcard with “Happy Birthday” written in both Greek and English, signed by all the staff—it was incredibly heartwarming. I 100% recommend this place and will definitely go back soon. All the food was delicious, especially the lamb chops. I usually don’t like lamb because of the smell and taste, but I ordered it for my husband who loves it. When I tried it—oh my god—it was the best lamb chop I’ve ever had!

    We had an incredible brunch before the marathon celebrations. Everything from start to finish was something we all haven’t had in a longgggggg time! From the ease of the reservation, to the friendliness of all staff, none of us had any complaints except not trying a dessert haha We will definitely be back!
