I passed by this place often but have never gone in. I stopped in with my two daughters and all I can say is wow. The food was cooked to perfection, seasoned perfectly and absolutely delicious.The octopus was tender. The lamb chops were perfect and the Spanakopita is to die for. Everything from the drinks to the dessert including the service was 5 Star.Adis the manager was hands on as was our waitress and he even brought us a dessert and an after dinner drink on the house.Being Greek, I am a little critical Of any Greek restaurant, but this far exceeded our expectations. I will definitely be back very soon! - jim kallis
