On my first visit to this establishment, I discovered that it is unquestionably worth the price. Not only will you leave satisfied, but you'll also have leftovers to enjoy later. I ordered Salmon, Greek Salad, Fries, and Calamari, and each dish exceeded my expectations. The Salmon was served fresh and warm, accompanied by an exquisite spinach side that was truly invaluable. The salad showcased its authenticity and deliciousness. As for the Calamari, it was delightfully crispy and practically melted in my mouth. In fact, the Calamari alone left me feeling full. Furthermore, the waiters provided friendly service, and the chef demonstrated impressive speed in the kitchen. Remarkably, all our food was on the table within a mere 10 minutes of waiting. If you're looking for a place where every dollar is worth it, and you have the means to indulge, this establishment is perfect. Prepare to savor fresh and delicious food in every bite.

We ordered Zucchini Chip, Lamb Chops, Lobster Pasta, and a side of Lemon Potatoes. Zucchini Chips: overpriced and only got like 15 pieces. Some pieces were very salty while other pieces were bland. Lamb Chops: Overcooked. Dry and hard. Waitress failed to ask for meat temperature preference. Lobster Pasta: Extremely salty. It had to be sent back. The chef claimed the seasoning was accurate. We then tried to order the squid ink pasta as a replacement, but was told we would have to pay for both entrées. Subsequently, we stuck with the lobster pasta. The new plate was overly salty as well, and the lobster was overcooked. The head of the lobster was still frozen! Lemon Potatoes: not very lemon-y as I had anticipated. Tl:Dr - needs improvement overall. Food is very salty. Waitress is not very accommodating and defensive. Will not be going back.

We loved our experience here, this spot is serving up some classics and some unique dishes I’ve never seen before! Blue Door was the perfect spot for date night as well, it’s beautifully decorated —as close as you’re getting to feeling like you’re in Greece in south Brooklyn! Must try dishes: 🐙 Grilled Octopus 🦐 Fried Shrimp w/ Skordalia 🦑 SQUID INK SEAFOOD PASTA: Fresh squid ink linguini, mussels, calamari, shrimp, octopus, lemon zest, creamy dill white sauce 🍔 BLUE DOOR BURGER

The overall aesthetic of this restaurant is beautiful. The stone floor graphic, the ocean waves on the wall, the rope lights that hang from the ceiling, and the pink flowers that caress the corner of the room really give the restaurant a relaxing, high-quality feel. I went here at the recommendation of a friend who said the pork gyro here was the closest to the real thing she ate growing up in Greece, so needless to say I had to try it. The pork was crispy on the outside but juicy throughout. The side salad that came with the platter was well dressed. The avocado/feta spread was absolutely delicious and never something I had imagined putting together until I saw it on the menu. The food came out fairly quickly and came out hot and fresh. And the man who waited on us was such a polite guy and didn't interrupt us every 5 minutes to check in. This made the experience that much better. The one thing I was not crazy about was the drink prices. 2 Frosés & 1 Blue Sangria came out to $50. Despite this, I'm 110% going to be back until I've tasted every single thing on the menu, and maybe even after that.

The decor is cute and welcoming. The food is flavorful and fresh. The menu is small but enough to find an option for something you’d like. Overall had a great experience. The chicken skewers is definitely the best I’ve had, it’s flavorful and so tender, highly recommend it. Give it a try.

This is definitely a super cute place. Ask for the garden seating in the back so cute. The food was good, however, nothing amazing. The servicer kept disappearing, and we waited a while for food

We had the Spanakopita, Blue Door Salad, Chicken Gyro Platter (didn't get a picture of the Shrimp Platter), all were done very well, fresh, tasty, seasoned and marinated nicely. I'd definitely recommend this place for a casual dinner. Minor drawbacks, it is on the smaller side with one bathroom, but didn't bother us.

Look how much Kiki cares about customer feedback: 'We don't care you will never be back.' What a joke. This attitude is exactly why the place is closing--and why her next job might be at McDonald's. -read her write backs to her customers on here- disgraceful.

Loved everything about this cute little place. We made reservations for a table of 3 for 6pm and shortly after, the place was full of patrons. Our waitress was friendly.. we were a little skeptical upon reviewing negative feedback of service but I can assure you, it was great service!!! Food was delicious and the sangria was pleasant. We ordered quite a few dishes. Meat was well seasoned, dips were good, seafood was cooked to perfection; the octopus was so tender! left with a full belly and doggy bag. Looking forward to returning and trying more dishes from here!

Very cute Greek decor. The staff was attentive the waitress gave us misinformation and was reluctant to make good on our bill, but ultimately agreed since it was her fault. The food was OK, a little bit oily. My friends and I couldn't decide if they use too much butter or too much oil... whatever it is, they should cut back a little bit. I don't live nearby and definitely don't think I'll go out of my way to go back.

Service was lousy I asked for Pinot Grigio received a different wine Was charged extra for extra pita bread they charged extra for grilled vegetables and side dish on entrees Entrees were 30 dollars. When I asked waitress why was I charged extra for pita and side dishes she stared me directly in my face and said yes we do. I said ok I should have sent wine back 60 dollars overpriced which was terrible and not what I ordered. My salmon was good but not a difficult fish to cook shrimps were very small I will never go back to this place again. Two customers came into restaurant at 830 they close at 9 and they rudely said restaurant was closed. Bad dining experience. Restaurant was cold door has a large gap which allows cold air in restaurant. Now I know why restaurant was empty. Ripoff for 200 waitress had absolutely no personality and was annoyed that i questioned bill.

Extremely upset with how the quality of food is at Blue Door after their grand re-opening. My friends and I were frequent visitors of Blue Door for years, and even deemed it as some of the best Greek food in our area of Brooklyn. Not knowing that come 2023 they decided to have a grand re-opening, we went to the restaurant and were disappointed to say the least. - Our favorites that we knew and loved at Blue Door were removed from the menu. Now, this wouldn't be an issue usually, because we all know that things change and menus get refreshed every so often. But upon visiting this new version of the restaurant, it was almost as if half the menu disappeared with nothing replacing it. No more skordalia & no more gyros! - The food quality at Blue Door has severely decreased, along with an increase in pricing. We ordered the zucchini chips (as we frequently have here) and the amount of food on the plate was nearly half what we are used to, but way more money. Also decided to order the avgolemono (lemon soup) and it was extremely rice heavy - almost as if I was consuming porridge instead of soup. These two being staples of my order each time I have Greek made my experience unsatisfactory. - Olive oil isn't considered seasoning and shouldn't be on everything. Every piece of pita that was served was drenched in olive oil, to the point the bread was overly saturated and resulted in a pool of oil all over the plate. This was the case for both the pita with our meals, pita alongside dips for appetizers. The restaurant also seems to believe olive oil is a salad dressing as well (yes, only olive oil - no salt, no lemon/acid, just oil) which made for a greasy, heavy meal. - Service could be better. We waited an extremely long time for someone to take our order and tend to us, but this may just be that the restaurant is understaffed and had no idea how to deal with the Saturday night rush. Overall we were extremely disappointed with our meals - souvlaki had no flavor (although cooked extremely well, it means nothing if it tastes bland) and we got less food for more money (rice isn't included with platters anymore?) Doesn't seem like we'll be returning, which means we'll have to find a new Greek place with solid food.

We've been eating from Blue Door since Feb 2017 as our first-choice Greek/Mediterranean spot in BK -- mostly take-out. Over the last year or so, the menu has changed quite a bit with the removal of online ordering and for those visiting for the first time, I see no mention of reservations on their site whatsoever which I would think can turn customers away. The most disappointing change is not being able to add protein to a salad which is unheard of. They did add a chicken dish and the fries became a little thicker which I love so, I guess it balances out. Hope things stay this way because overall, it is a go-to of ours.

I wholeheartedly believe that Blue Door Souvlakia is one of the cutest restaurants in Bay Ridge. Its white façade and bright blue door beckon you in to a charming dining room that feels just like a Greek taverna. The overhead lights and bougainvillea set the mood for a lovely meal. Though the restaurant is surprisingly upscale, the prices are still far lower than Manhattan's. Since we don't eat Greek food often, we ordered a smattering of dishes to share- Kolokithokeftedes, Calamari, and Pork Gyro Platter. The meal started with the heaviest dish, which was the Kolokithokeftedes, fried dough balls with zucchini chunks. There was a little too much dough for my liking but they were still very tasty dipped in the tzatziki. Next came the calamari, which shocked us with its size. For $14, we got a bowl of calamari the size of our Gyro Platter. The calamari was as good as it gets and the included fried zucchini slices, fried onion, and fried garlic trapped us into eating excitedly even as we could feel our stomachs filling up before we even reached the main course. By the time we dug into the platter, my stomach was 70% full, but I still enjoyed the crispy roast pork and fresh Greek salad. The platter also came with fries, pita, and a spread of your choice. As we marveled at how delicious everything was, we gave our compliments to the chef for preparing such a memorable meal.

This is my second time here .Pretty good service, atmosphere , blue sangria is great. I had the falafel platter. The falafels are mushy, can't feel any ingredients at all just smell them. It feels as if though the dough isn't fully cooked that mushy. Not to mention I asked for some extra tzatziki sauce and they charged $3 extra just for a sauce!! What kind of cheap stuff is that? Person wants sauce and for a small little addition of sauce 3 dollars really?

I attended a limoncello making class! It was very cute and thoughtful! I like that places like this have events that can bring the community together. The staff was very helpful! The event was fun! The food was fresh and the drinks were phenomenal! My friends and I left very happy! Will definitely return!

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE!!! HIGHLYYYY RECOMMEND!! Must try their shrimp platters! Everything on the platter is SUPERRR yummy! Platters look small but it's pretty fulfilling. Their crispy calamari is super crispy and comes in this spicy mayo type of sauce. Their chicken souvlaki is pretty tender. Fries are amazing. No complaints except I wish their salad portions were bigger cause it's just so yummy! The décor is pretty homey feel. The door is actually a big blue door. Once you enter, it feels like you're in Greece. They also have a very clean feel to them.

So, this USED to be one of our favorite places for dinner and takeout. Gyro platters and the calamari were our staple go to's. Their calamari sauce was Devine and I loved the random pieces of eggplant in with the batch. I get menus change and prices have to go up. I still kept getting the Sangria even though they doubled the price. But now with this re-opening or refresh, everything is literally different. It disappointed us to see the entire menu eviscerated of all our favorite things. Recently we gave a diner in experience a try, and we will not be coming back. Expensive, smaller portions, not much variety. And to top it off, my fishy was very fishy and left us sick. This is pretty sad, as we loved this place. Especially the decor and the ambiance. But unless the menu restores and the food quality restores, we will not be coming back.

Decided to give this local restaurant another try. Upon arrival, there were multiple tables (more than half of the entire dining room) available around 2:00pm on a Sunday. My husband and I had asked to be seated at any other table, besides being placed directly in front of the entrance door. The waitress, who was quite rude, was insistent that every other table was "reserved", and that it was not feasible to be seated at any other table besides the table directly in front of the door. We decided to leave altogether and go to our favorite local spot, Meze, where they have the most amazing food and customer service. Please do not waste your time here. PLEASE try Meze out instead - you won't regret it!!

Stylish and pretty Greek, Mediterranean restaurant in Brooklyn. There is a front part of the restaurant for seats, a kitchen and unisex bathroom in the middle, and a back part of the restaurant with additional seats. Good customer service. Recommendations: Grilled octopus Falafel platter with fries Shrimp youvetsi They also have sweet desserts such as banoffee and a blue colored sangria.

I finally ordered pickup from Blue Door for my lunch, and it was a very good choice! The obvious con is that it takes a while, which made me hesitate to order in the first place; case in point: 45 min to be prepared. Once you account for that time ahead, it's worth ordering from Blue Door. This time, I got 2 Pork Gyro ($9), which contains fries, and a Pork Souvlaki Platter ($13). My oh my they were absolutely delicious! The pork was so juicy that I chomped on the gyro ravenously. You also can't deny how good the prices are. Another Greek restaurant I used to order from prices their platters around $15.95-17.95 and their calamari at $17 :( I've actually been to Blue Door for indoor dining ages ago, and I love their look. It actually reminds me of the photos of Santorini, Greece for sure haha (and I do want to go someday!) For their takeout orders, the packaging reflects the restaurant too, from the takeout bag itself to the paper wrap.

Stopped in for dinner with friends on Saturday because we had a nice dinner in the past. Not the case tonight . Very busy with some big dinner going on in the back. And it showed. Service was very very slow . We got our dips for appetizers and about 30 minutes later got our calamari app that was a joke it was so small . When our entrees came they were just ok nothing special We decided to leave and go somewhere else for coffee as we were afraid it would take another hour. Not really sure if I'll give it another try

My friend brought me here for dinner and I fell in love with it so much that I brought my mom here a week later. Blue sangria is unique but definitely not worth the $15 price point. The pork gyro platter is amazing. It comes with a side and hummus. Portion is large to share. When I went back the second time we tried their zucchini fritters. Definitely not bad but would not order again. We will be back for the pork gyro.

Bay ridge is definitely an underestimated food hot spot, and blue door is just another one of those hidden gems. First off, the decor is amazing! It feels like I'm sitting in a restaurant in Greece, and I love how the entrance is marked by a large blue door! Very on brand. The murals and seating is also very beautiful and tastefully put together. My only regret is later finding out that there is a backroom that looks even better!! The food came out exactly on time, and hot and fresh. The calamari is always my go to app, and I love how they include veggies along with it to balance out the richness of the dish. We also had the zucchini balls in loo of the zucchini fries as they were sold out of them. The the zucc balls are pretty good, but fairly dense which isn't bad just heavy. The dressing was good though! The main course was enough to share as we had the lamb gyro. The salad and fries that came along were so good as well! A great pairing for those craving some good Greek food. Come hungry because we had enough to bring home for the next day!

came with some girlfriends on a Sunday evening, roughly around 7:30. It's a nice quiet place; there weren't that many parties. With that being said, we were a little disappointed with the staff had forgotten to serve us water. It wasn't until after we ordered dessert, our pitcher of sangria, and requested for water, they gave us water. Which seems like a no brainer to me. Every other table had water regardless of what they had ordered. Blue sangria - really fruity and tasty. It reminds me of the blue raspberry jolly rancher. A pitcher is about 5 glasses. 10/10 Banofee - chocolate ganache with seared banana slices. Pretty tasty but the ganache was quite hard. 9/10 Avgolemono pie - the lemon "pie" texture reminds me of Greek yogurt. It's really soft and tarty. My favorite was the graham cracker crumbs. It really adds layers of texture to the dessert. 9/10 Katoumari - was a bit of a let down. First we were told they didn't have this, and then we were told they do. After ordering, it came close to 20mins later. I'm sure they make everything fresh but the service was just terrible, with little to no communication. We ordered two of these and the proportions were obviously so different. One was about a portion of the size of the other. (I took screenshots of a video) secondly, the honey syrup was too overpoweringly sweet for the filo. I wish they had drizzled the syrup instead OR make the syrup less sweet. On the menu, it says honeh syrup but I'm almost sure this syrup is not housemate but simple syrup (the ones from Starbucks). Very disappointed. The baklava gelato on top was to die for though. 6/10

Their food was good but I was upset to find out that they changed the menu. They took off my favorite dish! Their grilled shrimp kabobs! That was the best. They also took away their fries with the kabob platter. They used to come with fries and a salad. Now it is just a salad. I hope the grilled shrimp kabobs come back along with their fries for the platter.

Yelp Big Night In 2 was on Saturday, May 30th, 2020. I chose this restaurant to support during the elite yelp event for 3 reasons: my friend owns the restaurant, support him & local business, and because I haven't had Greek cuisine in a few years. I swear not to be bias because it is my friend's restaurant; also I never been here before. I had read other yelp reviews before deciding on what to order and called it in. My friend did not know I was coming or even aware about Yelp Big Night In- so everything was random and anonymous. The place looks cute; we were allow to walk in to pick up (all tables/chairs were put up) with social distancing in effect. I was able to chat with my friend for 10 minutes; he was surprised and happy for the support. Hubby and I got to enjoy Greek dinner: - Paidakia (Lamb chops) medium well with rice - Pork Souvlaki Platter with rice and Skordalia (Greek garlic potato spread) comes with pita bread. - a side of Tzaziki spread (does not come with pita bread) --- meal came with a side salad and dressing (was a surprise) Pictures on yelp made the entrees look dry but actually was juicy and seasoned. Very flavorful. My friend, the owner even said the pork souvlaki was his favorite too when I picked it up. I really love the rice; yummy. I was glad we had the rice over the fries because I knew fries will be soggy by the time we get home. I would definitely come back again (if I'm in the area as it is far from my house).

This is probably the best Greek in the neighborhood. Blue Door has the most polished food offerings, the nicest salads, the least greasy meats. They are a bit pricier than average, but they are worth it! I was wowed by the moussaka balls. It's your typical eggplant and ground meat moussaka, but served like a rice ball. Crisp outside and juicy inside. The lemon potatoes were good, but I was initially underwhelmed by the portion served. (We ended up taking leftovers home!) The lemon chicken soup was just the ticket for the chilly evening out on the front patio. I had the BD Burger which was nicely composed with feta, nice fatty bacon, and fried onions. It was a good patty, although I wished they'd asked me how I wanted it cooked (it was medium). The fries were great, with a crisp fry. It looked like there were some interesting desserts on the menu, but we were too full by then.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! COME ENJOY INEDIBLE FOOD IF YOU WISH! WOWWW! I was shocked and appalled by not only the service we received last night for my gal pal's 35th birthday, but by the prices of dry, chewy, inedible "gyro" that was provided to us. Some of the portioning just boggled my mind, and I couldn't wrap my head around why on a Tuesday night at 7PM, that the food felt like yesterday's leftovers. If I had a dog and offered him/her this food, I am sure they would pee on my pillow. Our waitress was completely inattentive to our table - you know, the kind of service that you need to ask for EVERYTHING. "Can we have more water?" "Can we have a place setting for our friend that just showed up?" "Can we have more napkins?" C'mon, really? I understand she was the only waitress apparently for the night to service all the tables, but she was very passive to everything. Not impressed. We ordered some appetizers to start, and we opted for the three spreads for $10. Well, we got about literally, 2 tablespoons of each spread to share amongst five people. And $32 for their "blue" sangria that tasted more like powerade with some alcohol, in a quart pitcher. DO NOT GET THIS. We also ordered some skewers, that were $4-$7 per stick, that had seen better days. Maybe dinner will be better, I kept lying to myself. We ordered a combination of gyro platters and souvlaki, and everyone left more than half of their food. It was cold because our waitress kept ignoring the chef's bells for her to pick up our orders and serve us. He did this THREE times, and she just simply ignored it. Cold Greek fries are gross. Everything on this platter was just gross. Yeah, it's cute inside, but I'm not paying for your rent. Go across the street to King Souvlaki instead.

I had such a great time here! Our server Arturo was excellent and answered all the questions we had! They don't take reservations but I do suggest going early dinner time before it gets too crowded. The entrance is a grand blue door that doesn't fit the NYC theme but it's so cozy! In terms of food and drinks: 1. We got the blue sangria - tasted like sour gummies (on the good side) and it was so beautiful - matched the aesthetics in the shop! 2. Pork and chicken gyro platters: -Bang for your buck! -Pork was more flavorful and less dry than the chicken -Rice as opposed to french fries (my preference!) -Pita bread was super soft and the salad was a great touch too! I'm craving for more!!!

It is my third time here eating at Blue Door. It continues to be a gem in the neighborhood! Absolutely love their signature sangria. Their feta cheese honey is delicious. Dips and pitas is something I order all the time. I had one of their salads with chicken . Fantastic time , lovely waiter whom was attentive. Not packed on a Thursday at 5PM. We left at 730. Must visit if your around Bay Ridge !

The service wasn't up to par but the food was good. We were told as we initially approached that the wait was 40 min ( I wish they were honest and told us an hour and a half ) because my group was with a newborn. That had to be tossed around so he didn't cry in the heat before we were seated. The food was good, I'd say my entree pictured was a 8/10. We kept asking for drinks and napkins and sauces and nothing was being brought to us. But they gave us a sangria pitcher on the house! The sangria was delicious a solid 9.5/10. I understand that seating is limited, and restaurants don't want to lose customers so they say less of a wait then there is but I had a baby with me & found that to be very inconsiderate. P.S there was a party of young teens who were seated before us, and they all stole your mason cups.

I could've sworn I had previously written a review for this, because I know I ate here when they first opened...anyway, ate here again today. While the food is a bit slow to pop out of the kitchen, with only 2 other people and 1 person waiting for a take out order....what pops out is quality food that is VERY tasty indeed. We shared a Chicken gyro that comes with the fries loaded on it. That was really good. Some of the chicken is well done and almost tasted like bacon. Overall excellent. The other items were a simple chicken skewer $4 and a side order of the lemon potatoes at $7. Both were amazing and reasonably priced compared to other similar restaurants in the area. Service was prompt and very courteous. I would highly recommend for price to value and quality.

The food wasn't that great overall and it was too expensive. The fries were good though. There were a lot of things i thought were just careless in the whole time there with service and knowing what was going on with our party. The food did not come out together and one of our party ate alone and it was like no big deal to them. They asked us to move to accomodate another table. It was also loud and hard to have a conversation.

Great Greek oasis in the heart of Bay Ridge. Food is fantastic, spreads and octopus snd that pita bread are out of this world. Their signature blue sangria is delicious so be sure to try it! They also have a gorgeous back patio which elevates the whole experience to a whole new level.

My favorite Greek restaurant (maybe favorite restaurant overall) in Bay Ridge. The generous portioned food is always amazing, and I've yet to leave feeling dissatisfied with my meal! You can't go wrong with anything you choose (I believe I've had nearly every dish on the menu) and if you're out for a drink - you have to try their blue sangria. I wouldn't say staff is overly friendly, but I've also never had a negative experience and I'll definitely be back again, and again, and again..hopefully later this week!

Such a cute place. I'd stay for the decor alone. I ordered octopus which was great, chicken gyro platter was good. I'm not a big meat eater, but it felt a little crispy, but I also didn't mind it. The zucchini chips weren't bad- could've lived without it(worth a try) and the kale salad which was surprisingly delicious- bc you know, kale. It probably wasn't the "best" Greek food but it was good and had a nice ambiance with a nice staff. I'd go back.

Blue Door is one of my favorite restaurants in Bay Ridge, and thanks to COVID, we learned that their delivery is just as tasty as eating at the restaurant. We've gotten chicken souvlaki and chicken gyro platters with rice and salad, and sides of grilled vegetables and lemon potatoes, and everything has been fantastic. They were attentive to our allergy and dietary restrictions, and delivery was on time, packaged well, and hot on arrival. In these uncertain times, it's great to have someplace so reliable and consistent, and we highly recommend Blue Door for delicious Greek food!

Me and my girlfriend have been coming to this place around once a week regularly for almost 3 years now. They have some of the best Greek food we have ever had. From their packed out gyros to the feta loaded greek fries everything is great. They also have some awesome blue sangria which is a must for us when we go. Definitely check this place out if you love greek food like us.

Simply hanging out the area searching for a good bike and was a good time for lunch. There's alot of restaurants in the neighborhood but this place caught our attention mainly name, "The Blue Door". Something Greek about the color blue. We ordered their platters for us 3 for lunch: pork gyro and the chicken souvlaki each comes with a choice of dips: egglant and hummus. I recommended both as both were really good and tender. Try their dips. Eggplant was my favorite. Its smoky and charred eggplant really is addictive with their pita bread. Their hummus is too garlicky to my liking but ..is a matter of preference. Love their french rice. Huge portion for the price and we even have leftovers. Quick service considering there was only one person running the floor. Would definitely go back till try their brunch menu if around.

Take out order. But did get to check out the restaurant. It makes me feel like I am in the Greek isles, decorated in traditional blue/white colors with island vibes. They did have an outdoor dining option as well. The food was delicious, well priced and also well packaged. The food was still hot despite us eating it 30 minutes after picking it up. They used insulated boxes which really helped keep the food fresh and hot. We got the pork souvlaki platter and Gyro sandwich. The meat was tender and lemon potatoes, Greek fries and sauces we tried were outstanding. The portions were huge and could easily feed two people. Can not recommend enough! will definitely be going back!

Finally got to try blue door and it was worth it! The food is amazing! I also ordered their signature blue sangria it was okay it was way to watery and the pitcher size sangria isn't a real pitcher size like in other restaurants. The dessert is also good! The restaurant has such a beautiful decor we sat at the patio and omg! The decor and everything is so beautiful worth every picture that was taken that day! I will definitely be going back

I wanted to give this place 4 stars, but it's too inconsistent for me. I've been here a few times before (last spring and summer) and the food was okay (not memorable) but the drinks (blue sangria = completely instagram worthy) and fun ambiance kept me coming back. Unfortunately, I did not have a 4 star experience recently and I have definitely had better food at other Greek restaurants in the area. During my most recent visit, a friend and I walked in on a very cold Sunday evening. The staff was nowhere to be found so we seated ourselves and then waited about 10 minutes before getting a menu. I had read this in other reviews so I wasn't surprised. What was surprising was how ICE COLD the place was. They definitely had the heat on, but anytime someone would walk into the restaurant, all of the customers would freeze. I had a sweater, a scarf, and a jacket on during my meal. My other issue is with the staff. They just don't know the menu. This is the third time I have order d a chicken souvlaki platter and have asked for NO CHEESE OR DAIRY, and every single time, I am reassured that no dairy will be on my plate. Of course, every single time, a premade house salad with feta is plopped right into the middle of my dish. This salad comes with the platter, which I completely understand... but it a customer tells you to omit the salad because it has dairy, just omit it! Thankfully, my allergy isn't horrible. I was able to eat the parts of the dish that didn't touch the dairy without breaking into hives, but those with food allergies should beware. Another observation I have made it that the platters here are much smaller than they are at other Greek restaurants in the area. I leave other restaurants feeling stuffed, but here, we actually left feeling a bit (dare I say it)... hungry. I wish I liked this place. I wish I had a better experience there. Maybe I will give them another chance in the summer.

Cute place and good food! Came here on a Sunday afternoon with my boyfriend, theres a backyard but we sat inside. Started with a 3 dip platter: hummus, tzatziki, and melitzanosalata which came with plenty of pita 10/10. The grilled calamari was perfectly charred and bouncy 10/10, it also came on a bed of arugula and chickpeas. We tried the Octopus Meatballs which the server also recommended but I was not impressed 5/10, it had a mushy texture which isn't what one would expect for a meatball. But the meat was spiced well and there was plenty of flavor. Finally shared a chicken gyro platter with fries between the two of us which was a large portion but every part of it was delicious. This place is a gem with the right ambiance and tasty food, definitely recommend and would come back!

We ordered from here, and the food wasn't nearly worth the amount we paid. When the food came it was luke warm. The grilled octopus wasn't worth the $22, but it did have a nice flavor. The lamb was too salty, and dry. The tzazkiki, just wasn't tasty- which is usually the best part of most Greek spots. I hope to stop in sometime, and perhaps give a more positive update; as I'm seeing some of the reviews about eat ins being better.
