I feel like, if I were from Greece, this is the type of food that my mom would make; unpretentious, tasty, comfort food. My only gripe is that, since I got a new job, it's now a longer train ride to get down there, so I'm not able to frequent it as often.\n\nI like the restaurant ambiance. Dark and cozy, with paintings of Greece adorning the walls, faux grapevines hanging everywhere. It's very convenient to the lightrail, just off of Bland Street station.\n\nI can only speak to the lunch service. If you work just outside the 277 loop, it seems like this is the go-to spot for lunch. The service is always quick, even during peak lunch rush hours. The food is reasonably priced for what you get. That being said, I feel like they could jazz up their flavors and plating a little bit. Having never been to Greece, I cannot say whether or not these are authentic Greek flavors that are served in this restaurant. However, in my experience, Mediterranean food is known for eye popping color on the plates, as well as taste bud popping flavors on the palate. I think of Greek Isles as a Mediterranean \"meat-and-three\" type restaurant. Definitely nothing to complain about, especially for the value. Just wish there was a little more effort in the dishes, thats all.\n\nAll in all, a good spot for a quick, reasonably priced lunch."^^ .
