   Ate on the Patio. Very roomy and covid-safe feeling. Had lamp chops tasty, but a little overdone, saganaki (excellent) and a terrific Greek Farmers Salad. Everyone was as pleasant and happy as can be.

   Everything was great except for the belly dancing performance. I was not expecting it and would not have brought my parents-in-law had I known about it

   If you want a nice, simple getaway with a good view, without the crowd and traffic that comes with being close to the water, this is a great place to go.

   Food great. Served my husband his dinner we had to wait quite a while to get my entree. Never offered a second glass of wine. Everyone very pleasant but just need to work on coordinating service.

   First time visit. Went for Mother’s Day dinner, so they were busy. Had a reservation but a table was not ready so we had to wait. The staff was nice and very friendly, but extremely slow service (yes I get it, it was Mother’s Day). The waitress recommended a bottle of Malbec that paired well with the family grill platter, which was delicious. Next time I would like to try the dips and a dinner entree. Maybe come earlier, since our dining experience was over 2 hours long without dessert or coffee.

   Pretty solid meal. Upper deck on a sunny evening is awesome. There aren't enough places in West Seattle with outdoor dining options like this. However, this was easily the most expensive meal I've purchased in years. Portions are absolutely huge so consider sharing entrées. Or just do small plates all night. I'll go back, but probably for cocktails and small plates instead of a full blown dinner.

    Small plates were amazing, but the entrees lacked a bit and the baklava was unfortunately a miss. Nice server though - just had to wait quite a bit. Will give it another shot though!

    The wait staff are very efficient, super friendly in a normal manner rather than the forced cheeriness in some places. The food was good, portions generous but not too much. It was full that night so a bit noisy until the large party left. You won't be disappointed and will want to return.

    Awful! That is the best way to describe my Valentines’ Day experience. I was a little surprised to have to pay for 24 hours to park, but I wasn’t going to let that spoil the evening. Having to wait 25 minutes for a table although I had a confirmed reservation was a little frustrating, but it was to be expected given the restaurant wasn’t even checking whether guest had reservations… I feel sore for the lovely couple they turned away, who also had reservations. When they spilt water on my lovely partner’s clothes and boots, we brushed it aside, trying in earnest to have fun. My girl ordered a martini with no vermouth to try to improve the mood, in vain as the first martini had vermouth and the replacement was made with cheap house vodka. And to add insult to injury, all of the food was cold - which I don’t really understand given how busy they were. Suffice to say that I’ll never go back. I love Mediterranean food, but not from here, never, ever again. And the experience wasn’t cheap, with a price tag of over $250… for what? Cold food, cheap drinks and poor service.. no thank you!

    We really enjoyed the restaurant we thought the appetizer, selection of dips and pita, was a little bland but the mains were excellent. Service was excellent despite a busy restaurant.

    Ephesus recently switched to a Greek menu, and everything was delicious. Service was outstanding and we were well taken care of. We went on Valentines Day so it was very busy, but staff handled everything very well and we were pleasantly surprised with everything.

    We've been here a couple of times, and most recently they updated their menu with more Greek-focused dishes. The new items were delicious with great flavors and Mediterranean spices. And, they have great signature cocktails. We'll definitely be going back.

    I've enjoyed eating at Ephesus several times, usually with friends for special occasions. The food has always been delicious, served in a timely manner and appropriately sized portions. Only once were the vegetables that came with the meal forgotten, but quickly served once this omission was noted to the server. For the price, I think the wine could be poured a bit more generous in the glass. Delicious desserts too. Unfortunately, paid parking in the lot next to the restaurant or free on street.

    Food was wonderful. I had the beef kabob and expected the skewer to arrive on a plate. The presentation was quite different - the skewer was a small sword resting upright in a wood and steel frame! The foursome next to us ordered a sizzling dish. When the server delivered the dish, they torched off the dish and the entire plate erupted with flame as it was served. The presentation has been upgraded. You had the choice of eating inside or there is a covered patio outside.

    We enjoyed about half of what we ordered. The mixed grill and beet salad were great. We didn’t enjoy the muhamara and dumplings as much. We’d go again but order differently.

    The ambience was lovely and our waiter was friendly and attentive. Although the seafood was a bit of a disappointment, the lamb chops were the STAR of the show! If you eat meat, you have to try them. They are grilled to perfection and pair nicely with a wine. The saffron rice and the cabbage slaw that accompany it are tasty and the rice is so buttery and delicious! We opted for rice over mashed pottos-which was a great decision in our opinion. The sample platter was also nice, the hummus was delicious and the pita was nice and warm. There was great music playing and everyone seemed to be having a good time. Definitely try their gelatos, they are quite lovely. We will definitely be in again for that lamb chop and perhaps some kebabs another specialty of theirs.

    The food is amazing, though there’s been a recent menu change to focus on Greek foods, exclusively. Sadly, some of my favorites didn’t make it. But, it’s a cozy restaurant (converted old home) with indoor/outdoor (covered and open) seating options. It can get pretty noisy indoors, and the covered outdoor seating can be a bit drafty on a bad weather day. But, the food is worth it! I have yet to find something on the menu I didn’t completely love.

    My friend and I sought out a classy and nice Greek restaurant, which is how we found your location. We are from 45 minutes away but I thought the drive would be worth your spot. We were pleasantly surprised with fantastic staff, most of which were knowledgeable about the menu. We were also pretty pleased with the portion size of the appetizer and salads! And the taste of nearly everything was great. I think the desert section is where improvement could be made. Price/portion could be improved. The octopus was good and had a unique taste. I think it was nice to have so much variety on the menu. I understand you guys have specific hours but may be opening a little bit earlier as well could be possible for a future hours? It was my first time trying a Greek wine, and that was delicious.

    This is a nice big restaurant with excellent service. Lots of space, great atmosphere and the food was good. I am a long time lover of this restaurant and they have new owners. With the new owners came a change in the food. It’s still called “Mediterranean” but it’s not authentic and nothing like Ephesus 5 years ago. They still have kabobs and the appetizer plates but the secret has gone with the last owners. Sadly, we won’t be returning.
