"Greek starter standards such as Tzatziki, Hummus, and Grilled Sardines in Grape Leaves. Masterfully complimenting the if-it-were-any-fresher-we'd-be-underwater-seafood."

"Expensive but succulent Mediterranean restaurant that has affordable meze (small plates) like grilled octopus salad and calamari, as well as pricier entrees like rack of lamb, crab cake platters and lobster tail."

For an appetizer be sure to try the calamari, stuffed with feta and manouri cheeses.

"Jumbo shrimp and scallops grilled to perfection, an array of whole fresh fish cooked to your liking, lobster, mussels, and fish swimming in a rich Greek broth called kakavia, as well as creamy baklava ice cream made on the premises, are among the unforgettable dishes served up here by an amiable wait staff" Full review
