First thing's first: the food is excellent. With menu items from various parts of Greece , it's a culinary tour . Owned by a Cypriot couple it has an authentic family feel to it. Highly recommended.
The Buffet for $12.95 is great. Food is excellent and their bread and fresh olive oil is tasty together. The garden seating is great and since I'm on vacation I will make my way back here one day.
The garden is the best place to sit. The food is sublime. During lunch hours they have the buffet and you can have a very good lunch for the price of 2 sandwiches in Midtown Manhattan
Amazing restaurant if you want to feel like you are teleporting to Greece . Great seafood and wine . The ambiance makes you feel like you have travelled to another world. Thanks Denise!
This is far and away the best Greek restaurant I have ever been to! It strikes a nice balance between upscale and peasant Greek specialties. A must try!!
We have been eating here a long time. The food is great and the people are nice. You won't feel rushed. The lunch buffet is lovely.
This is a cool little place, the garden in the back is a must. Everything our party had was really good on the menu, so dont think you can go wrong.
Try the Kotopoulo Me Damaskina - Chicken Breast Marinated in Dry Sherry , Lemon Juice and Fresh Spices with Finely Chopped Prunes , Mango , Papaya , Thyme , Nutmeg and Peppercorns .
The sautéed shrimp and feta cheese appetizer for two is to diiiie for! Expensive! But way so worth it. I could it for every meal. Or just constantly without stopping.
Spanakopita is best I’ve had at a restaurant . Yia yia soup is good. Shrimp with fried feta is great.
Delicious tzatziki and pita ! The staff are so friendly ! I would definitely go again.
Delicious Greek food and great atmosphere! Definitely eat in the garden when it's available!
Awesome food and atmosphere, get a table in the garden on Thursday night and dance
The appetizer sampler was amazing! And I'll definitely be trying some desserts next time
Absolutely lovely, shaded back garden . Feels just like our trips to Greece .
Come on Thursdays for the full on Greek experience! Live music and dancing . Opa!
Must try the Greek sampler platter that includes the caviar dip ! Heaven in your mouth!

Best Sunday brunch buffet ! This restaurant is beautiful and delicious.
Get the flaming cheese & Al was FAB!!
Seafood and lamb dishes .
Lunch buffet $12.95 very tasty & authentically Greek!
Service is great! Food is okay, but desserts are a pass. Baklava has no layers. Our party ordered one of each and all were unimpressed.
Satyrikon is an excellent sampler. And the Moussaka is warm & filling without being heavy.
The owner is in love with our family. She gave us a free bottle...
Amazing crab avocado salad !
Get the saganaki and stand back when they light it on FIRE!
Eat out in the garden area, beautiful meal.
Shrimp simmered in tomatoes
The garden outside is a hidden gem . Opa!
Dine in the garden
Food is mediocre, most commonly overcooked. The garden is beautiful and relaxing.
Eat in the garden out back. It's a wonderful little oasis!
Veggie lasagna
A total rip off!! The $12.95 lunch buffet turned into $50+ They kept bringing us items that we didn't order and charged us for them. Food was poor and dolmades were canned. Stay away!!!!!
Es deliciosa la comida y el servicio de diez probamos el bufet y exquisito todo
