“ Food, service and ambiance all great. They seated us in a side dining area which was perfect as we were with another couple and could hear conversation which was a plus. ”
“ We went here on a Saturday for an early evening dinner. We had a reservation and glad we did. They were very busy, even though they have seating both inside and out. Our server was efficient and got whatever we needed. We started with the calamari, which had a light batter and was fried just right. It came with two good dipping sauces. I got the chicken feta flatbread which was very good. My wife got the eggplant rollatini which came with mash potatoes. It just missed the mark according to her. Taste was just OK, sauce was OK and so on. While not over priced, things are not cheap here either. So for her meal to be OK is not good enough. ”
“ We went on a week night. Christmas Eve. Did get reservations. Very nice decor. Friendly receptionist. Great selection of Mediterranean food. We started with seafood soup. Very light tomato based and full of seafood flavor. The calamari crispy and nice thick slices. The meatballs dense with a zesty tomato sauce. The 3 meats options is very reasonably priced. Spinach artichoke chicken juicy. Shrimp orzo very rich with good shrimp portion. My son loved the mousaka. Eggplant rolittini full of flavor. Excellent roasted potatoes. Overall delightful night. Waiter very informative and welcoming. We would return if we are back in town. ”
“ Best salad in Sarasota, very fresh just perfect. The prawns appetizer was delicious. Great beverage program very appealing. Andy is an excellent bartender! Thank you ”
“ Enjoyed the food, beautiful restaurant, Andy, the waiter/bartender was perfect, prices were very reasonable. Couldn't have asked for a better dining experience. ”
“ We didn't realize how much we missed good gyro meat until my husband and I came here for dinner the other night! It was about 5:30 on a Wednesday and the place was definitely busy but we didn't have to wait. It's a more 'standard' restaurant looking interior - nothing special or unique there. They did have nice outdoor seating with heaters too. My husband ordered the gyro dinner which for about $21 was a really nice price considering there was a lot of gyro meat. I ordered a platter that allowed you to choose 3 meats so I went with gyro meat, grilled shrimp and grilled chicken skewers. The gyro meat was by far the best. We both really loved it. The grilled shrimp came second and chicken was third because it was a tad overcooked. The sides were also good but if I had to picky, they weren't great. The potatoes were nearly mush (ok fine I know mashed potatoes are a thing) and the grilled veggies were a bit too overcooked and over-oiled in my opinion. We had fun selecting a Greek beer and a Greek wine. They also had really yummy sounding mixed drinks on the menu for a hefty average price of about $13-15. If you're a gyro lover I would say its worth checking this place out. Jury is still out on the other stuff and were to go back, we'd for sure stick with that gyro meat! ”
“ A really nice lunch - delicious starters, terrific gyro and a modern but comfortable space. Tucked in the corner of a large strip mall the restaurant offers ample bar seating, a decent patio in front and table dining in the bar or in main dining room, facing the open kitchen. Service was super entertaining, and thankfully it was slow as she was all alone making drinks and serving guests. The bar looks inviting with a bunch of wines BTG in a top of the line preservation system. Definitely would go back again! ”
