Ethos is closed permanently. They closed the day after Thanksgiving and did not take down their website, phone number, etc. The restaurant space is empty. Our party of 6 were able to dine at the French restaurant around the corner. The waiter explained that Ethos had 25 employees who lost their jobs the day Ethos closed . There was not any notification ahead of time for them. Open table, please do not allow people to make any further reservations.

We were in Greece (Athens and the Islands) a month ago, and went to Ethos to satisfy our fond memories. We were not disappointed. Everything is fresh, well-prepared and delicious. Great service. Seafood is top-notch. Great Lemon Potatoes. Small but good Greek wine list.

Great experience! Our server, Lettie(sp), was so professional, yet friendly. She made the experience perfect! The food was delicious. We shared the Greek salad, then had the place and seafood orzo. All the dishes were perfectly prepared. The hostess was also very nice! Great staff!
