    Good and service were great! Music was too loud which made it difficult to hear when trying to have a conversation.

    We started going to this restaurant 45+ years ago. We’ve gone back many times but it has been a few years since our last visit. The restaurant is unchanged in decor and also in the quality, freshness and taste of the gyros, which is so outstanding! It’s the only thing we get other than a Greek salad or hummus with pita. The gyro was still amazing.

    We have eaten here probably 50 times over 30 years. Tom has sold the business to his previous employees who generally do a good job continuing Tom’s classic Greek dishes. I don’t appreciate being served my entree while still working on my appetizer. It feels rushed and the main dish can cool off unnecessarily. We waited almost 10 minutes for our cocktails while the bartender filled orders of soft drinks. I always wondered why those soda orders couldn’t be filled by the wait staff. Overall a good bargain and we return again.
