| - After reading everyone's reviews on Yelp, it seemed to be a mixture of people thinking it was 'over hyped' or in my opinion it was described perfectly. It was about what I expected for pricing (maybe a little high on certain items but with a group you could sample a few bites of everything), the atmosphere and ambiance is great.
Everything we ordered was delicious and FULL of flavor. We started with the dip (I was disappointed there wasn't a 'try all' dip option because, i would've like to try all 3 and I heard great things about the tzaiki) but our server helped us narrow it down to her fav: the Melitzanosalata which neither of us never had ever tried before so we opted for that.
The Melitzanosalata came out FAST, it was yummy (eggplant base w honey) but, those warm pita breads drizzled with olive oil and salt - I could've eaten two more and been satisfied. So, I would suggest trying a few if you're with a larger party.
Horiatiki (Greek Salad) also came out quickly, it was in my opinion one of the best in the city but, I agree it was a pricey salad $18?
The fried Brussels are a new addiction of mine, they were good. I've tried them at a few places in the city and they're always about the same.
The 'fish of the day' was the sea bass- cooked to perfection again drizzled in olive oil, capers and lemon. No sides with it so if you order a few things maybe try and leave a bit of pita or salad to eat with it cause it was a fairly large portion to just eat on its own at the end.
Our server was extremely knowledgeable, in my opinion you can tell a place that takes pride when their staff knows the food menu and the wine menu. Kudos to them and her! All her recommendations were appreciated, although we didn't try the goat tartare, cause I'm never overly thrilled with goat. Maybe next time ;)
It's a loud place perfect for a night out and to share some cocktails or a bottle of wine, out w a few friends or on a date, I wouldn't suggest more than 6 or you'd just get stuck talking to the person next to you lol.
