    Indifferent wait staff. Took long time to order pre-dinner drinks. My business associate and I ordered spanokopita. They were out. We then ordered a saganaki which came tepid (temperature) and oily. We both ordered moussaka. Greek moussaka (which I make) consists of layers of pasta interspersed with sliced/cooked eggplant, lamb (sometimes beef), crushed tomatoes (or tomato paste) topped with oven-browned bechamel sauce. What Petros served was not moussaka. It was noodles with ragu. No wonder they are reportedly closing in September. Good riddance.

    Went to celebrate my wifes birthday. Service was slow and while I know it can get busy on a Friday night we had to ask for our drinks after our food came. The food was just ok and I thought a little overpriced for what you got. They were accommodating for the kids which was nice. There were flies inside as well. Overall not my favorite experience and probably won't come back.

    The service is always fantastic. Tanya is so pleasant and delightful to speak with. The fried calamari with lemons, olives, and almonds a must. The summer peach arugula salad is fresh, tasty and the arugula is perfectly peppery. The shrimp saganacki is a favorite. I've never had a bad dish in the 20 years they have been open. LOVE this place.
