    Service was outstanding! Our server, Athena, was warm efficient, knowledgeable. When one of us had questions on ingredients, she went and checked and offered alternatives. The food was amazing - Zucchini fries were light and addictive, the autumn pear cocktail delightful (and how they carry them when filled to the brim is amazing), and the butter cake is a must have. We all enjoyed our various entrees. It was my first visit and won't be my last. And I will ask for Athena every time!

    Leo, the Owner/Chef is a gracious host and an excellent chef. The calamari is the best we’ve ever had and the rice pudding is amazing. The Turkish red wine is smooth and well balanced. The dolmas and spanakopita are perfect starters. The prices are very reasonable given the quality. We will definitely be back.
