    My guest and I scheduled a work related dinner. She wanted to meet at Naos. I drove 90 minutes to dine here, and I will return! Our service from Amber and several support staff was extraordinary. She assisted us in selecting every course. She was patient and kind. Alfredo suggested wines, and his presence added to our dining experience. The dining room is spacious and elegant. The high ceiling and tablecloths absorb sounds, allowing for comfortable level of conversation. The framed art and murals are unique to a Giorgios designed interior. Personal pictures are displayed as well. Our Greek cuisine was delicious and beautifully presented. I'm grateful we spent our evening at Naos!

    An excellent meal with excellent service all around. Try the equivalent of a samosa in a sandwich! It was excellent. The chicken tikka masala while not hot for me was also excellent and very flavorful. The garlic naan was exceptional. Try the mango dessert!
