    We eat out often, usually looking for a great experience and great food. My partner and I agree this may be the best meal we have ever had. We love Greek food, both of us lived there in our late teens. I grew up visiting Tarpon Springs, a Greek community in Tampa Bay. I know Greek food and this is the best that I have ever had. Authentic. Clearly the chef not only knows what she/he is doing, they infuse the food with love and appreciation. We ordered a bunch of stuff which showed up timely. Chris provided great service and when I thought something wasn’t quite warm enough, the kitchen made another even though I told them we didn’t want to start over. Spanakopita, Tiropita, Chicken thighs, meatballs, real traditional salad, every bite delicious.
