Nice Greek restaurant with delicious eats. We got the calamari, flamed cheese, octopus, cod roe dip with chips, egg plant spread. I got glass of far ninete 2020 chard. Everything was delicious and staff were attentive.
Had a fantastic lunch here outside for 3 people. Amazingly delicious, large portions, great service, reasonable pricing. The starter of TIROKAFTERI which is a crushed spicy Epirus feta spread was quite tasty with some cucumbers and a side of pita. Also ordered the OKTAPODAKI grilled Spanish octopus and KALAMARAKIA TIGANITA Monterey Bay calamari which were both amazing. Fresh, tender, juicy deliciousness. Ordered the PSARAGORA chef's choice of market fish which was Salmon today as the main entree and wow! Huge portions for the price! Deliciously cooked, soft and tender. Finally some greek yogurt and fluffy phyllo dough custard for dessert both were scrumptious. Absolutely nothing to complain about, wouldn't hesitate to visit again.
About $160 for 3 appetizers and 2 mains. Octopus was tender but lacking a good grill taste. Calamari was good. Chicken was dry, not tender. On the whole, ambiance was nice but food could have been better.
