Wow!! Fantastic and highly recommended! Pricey, for sure, but the food is delicious. The salmon and steak were both a bit overcooked, however. Great ambiance and wonderful patio dining overlooking the street. Service was top notch. I can not remember what it is called, but the flaming shrimp and cheese appetizer was fantastic!

We came in on Father’s Day, and the experience was truly memorable. Our server made our dad feel incredibly special—she was so friendly, sweet, and attentive. She went above and beyond, constantly checking in to make sure everything was perfect. We ordered the souvlaki and grilled lamb, and they were honestly some of the most tender meats I’ve ever tasted. My dad had a tooth pulled just a few days before and normally struggles to chew, but he finished his entire plate of lamb without any trouble. Overall, we loved the warm atmosphere and the kindness of every staff member. The location was great, and the food brought back wonderful memories of my time in Greece.

The food was good. To start We had the spinach quiche which was amazing. Then we waited more than 40 mins for the entree since the waitress sent the wrong order to the kitchen or something like that. She apologised but then she wasn’t acknowledging us for quite a long time. At first it was a mistake and it was alright, we were not in a hurry and we understood but then it was quite a lot of wait for everything and it ruined a bit the whole experience. The place was not full either… so I don’t know. We waited more than 15 extra minutes for to go boxes and the check… we ended up standing up to ask for the check for a third time to the manager/owner and she offered to give us some dessert on the house but at this point we just wanted to leave. She brought it anyway and this was better. In the end we left quite pissed. I don’t think on I would recommend even though we feel bad for the owner who seemed really nice . At the end the waitress and the owner came to do some traditional shots with us which was really cool. The place is a bit expensive. We spend more than $100

Whenever we have a fix for great Greek food, we head to Jake and Telly’s in Old Colorado City. Gyro is our staple meal and the meat is very well seasoned, soft and delicious. Sauce is either on the side or already placed on with appropriate portions. A side of Greek salad completes the meal. Have never had a bad meal here, so we will be long term customers. Please keep up the quality standards.

What a hidden gem tucked upstairs in the heart of Old Colorado City. Derek was our server and he provided us with delicious recommendations and explanations. Everything we ate was simply delicious! The starter of Dolmades and the creamy lemon basil sauce was substantial enough to be a main course! The entrees were very healthy portions where we both needed to-go boxes. The night wouldn’t be complete without a digestif shot ;) I highly recommend it and know we’ll be back next time we’re in town!

Absolutely wonderful staff, food and atmosphere! The outside deck is amazing for people watching and in general fantastic ambiance. Waitress was fantastic and food even better. The humus had wonderful flavor and the platter was filled with plenty of amazing options to get the humus to your stomach! (Haha carrots, cucumbers and pitas) The drinks were amazing. We had an old fashioned and a mule to start. We got the chicken gyro and the Jake. Both were absolutely amazing! And the bread pudding was a fantastic way to finish it all up.

Excellent service, Excellent food. We were 3 adults and 3 children. The atmosphere was just right. We enjoyed a leisurely meal. Large portions, so we took half of it home so that we could enjoy dessert.

My meal was SPECTACULAR! Our server; Jennings is a great person and was a great "mesh"! My daughter mentioned that this time around the meatball in the appetizer platter was not as good as before. Personally, this was my first time there. In my honest opinion, the meatball was not what I expected, however, the rest of my "personal" meal, not only met my expectations, but exceeded it!! Thank you!

Food: excellent Greek food with superb gyro and the best feta I've had. Service: knowledgeable and generous staff Ambiance: love the wrap around bar and laid back vibe Bonus: Coca Cola shop!

It's a well executed higher end Greek specialist restaurant. I love it and it felt like reasonable value. The food was very good. Require some stairs to get in, so keep that in mind. The kids meals are for 12 and under and definitely will fill up a 12 year-old.

Delicious lunch! Service was great. The feta is imported from Greece and I could have eaten a block of it by myself. The chef was accommodating to gluten and dairy allergies at our table.

This casual restaurant has a fine dining, upscale feel with both indoor and outdoor seating. The staff is friendly and helpful. We sat outdoors and had such a hard time deciding on the amazing sounding selections that we went with the waitress' recommendation of the Mezza appetizer plate which was huge enough to share. Our Greek Salad was as delicious with so much variety and was easily shared. I also ordered a cup of Avgolemono soup which was sheer lemony goodness. If we lived here, we'd frequent this place often. Highly recommend!

We wanted some really good Greek food and Jake&Telly's came highly recommended. I got a pork Souvlaki sandwich because I've had a lot of lamb and chicken variants, but never seen pork. It was good, especially the flavor of the pork and the feta. We tried the meatball plate with pita and that was great. Our favorite, however, were the dolmades: the sauce that came with it was so good and we mopped it all up with the pitas, and the beef and rice in the grape leaves were great and paired well with it. I had a beer that was on tap and thought it was awesome, but I can't remember the name of it. After your meal you also get a shot. Reuben was our server and he was great. He had some good stories and brought out the final shot for us.

Wanted to try something different while watching n Colorado. The staff was friendly and helpful with the menu. I had the chicken and capers with garlic mashed potatoes. Would definitely want to try the gyros next time.

We were hiking in the area and were told by the guide that this restaurant is good. Not sure if our guide never tried good food or Colorado just not a great place for good food in general. My husband is half Greek so we used to eat Greek food a lot, and we also spent some time traveling in Greece. All the parking next to the restaurant was full on a weekday, so we had to street park. Restaurant is on the second floor and you have to take stairs, not sure how handicapped person would get there, not sure if there is a way to get there another way. Service was friendly and nice. Place inside is very dark and run down. They have outdoor seating. We sat outside because inside was too dark and unpleasant. Food is very expensive, if you take into the account the quality and ambiance. It should be 50% cheaper. We had saganaki cheese that was spongy and was $17 which is ridiculous. It is Manhattan prices. I had soup and salad. Lentil soup was fine, just a tiny portion, salad was not even a salad, they just put lettuce and a piece of the beet next to it. Cannot call it a salad really. My husband also ordered meatballs that were super fatty and had Italian cheese on top (why?), super expensive and we ate half of the meatball. They were not done properly at all. I think if this place was a food truck and charged $10 per plate, we would be ok with that, but for the prices they charge they have to produce a better quality food. I would avoid this place.

Visiting this restaurant was such a great dining experience! The waiter was fully versed in GF-DF options. The food was scrumptious!

The food is absolutely amazing!!! A little pricey but delicious. This is the only place I have been to where they have made my mixed drinks decent and right so I highly recommend it everywhere else I have been waters down the drinks. Jake and Telly's doesn't. 5 stars all the way!

Amazing food as usual! Excellent service as well! I was lucky to get in on New Year's Eve.

Service good, was listening and at hand. Provided us with plenty pita refills. However, when I got my salad it was a bit soggy. Presentation wise it was amazing but when I dug in it was a different story. Almost like the salad leaves were frozen and thawed in the microwave. Shrimp and cheese were good but as I bit into the handful of olives they put on the plate I was a bit taken aback by the seeds still in them, must be a Greek thing though so I don't know. For a second story restaurant they could do better.

Really good Greek place in the historic Colorado old town. Gyro was fantastic. My husband had the veggie gyro and also loved it. The waiter let me try a couple of Greek wines since I wasn't familiar. The bon bons today were peanut butter. Verrrry rich. Complimentary ouzo at the end of the meal! Opa!

I've been here a handful of times for lunch and even though I want to like it, I've been disappointed with the food every time. I wouldn't consider it to be particularly cheap, and you can get higher quality food for the same price point elsewhere. I've tried the eggplant burger which I don't recommend - it's essentially a slab of eggplant on a hamburger bun with some basic toppings. There's a "sauce" but so little of it you barely notice it's there. I got the potatoes as a side - one thing to note is their potatoes are not traditional Greek style potatoes. I was in Greece last year and the way they season their potatoes is absolutely phenomenal. The potatoes at this restaurant are not that, they're regular boring American-style potatoes that are somewhat under-seasoned and bland, which rather reflects their food overall. Best thing we tried was a gyro sandwich, it's decent, but I can get those of equivalent or better quality elsewhere and for less money. No issues with service, just sad about the food. In my experience, authentic Greek food amazing, and this is not it.

Do I recommend Jake & Telly's? Yeah, yes, absolutely! My wife enjoyed a visit to Jake & Telly's with her best friend the week before, and she insisted we go back right away. So, we stopped in last Saturday for lunch. My wife went with a gyro (her Greek go-to) but I decided for something out of the ordinary, for me. I got the spinach and beet salad with some gyro meat on the side. She loved her gyro, no surprise. And my salad was absolutely delicious and filling! I had enough leftovers for a second meal at home later. Look, the food was so delicious. The service was kind and helpful and just right. I'm telling you, I really can't wait to come back again. Our anniversary is coming up soon and I already know where we'll go for dinner, Jake & Telly's. For sure!

We weren't looking to eat lunch at Jake & Telly's, however, glad we took the chance. Good gyros and good service. Will return!

Arrived for dinner Nice setting Under impressed with our appetizer and our entries. Pita was good but nothing to write home about. Vegetarian option were limited as they were out of eggplant. Mediterranean Makaronatha (vegi pasta) good light and perfect if on the Coast on a hot day. Sadly though favors were very subtle and I could do better in my kitchen. I tasted my colleagues caper chicken and again fell short in flavor. Dessert bread pudding was tasty Wine Sauv Blanc good For the price point and the lack of flavor I would not spend my hard earned monies again at this establishment.

The wifey was craving some greek food and we found this place on yelp. We had the kids pasta and meatball, souvlaki, and gyro sandwich. While the kids pasta came out extremely quick, everything else took forever. One of the staff even cleared our table and asked if we wanted dessert. After that, the food came out. The souvlaki was pretty good, however the combination isnt greek at all. Sides it came with was cilantro? Rice and green beans. The gyro sandwich meat was bland. It needed the tzatziki to give it flavor. The side options were roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes or soup. We had the mashed potatoes. Service was also very slow and never got checked on. The place is a pass for us

After visiting the Pike's Peak we were looking for a place to have quick food and we searched near us and we decided to have quick food from Jake & Telly's Greek Taverna. Our server Shari was amazing and from the menu for the food we ordered Pita with Tzatziki Dip and Baklava. The server was great and soon we got our Pita with Tzatziki Dip. The pita's along with the dip was delicious and was amazing. We loved the pita's bread along with the dip. Then we got Baklava which was delicious and was also good. Amazing food with great service.

I had no real plans today. After leaving a festival in Colorado Springs, I turned toward the mountains on Colorado Blvd. I knew I wanted to grab a bite, but I had no specific cravings. As I continued on Colorado through Old Colorado City, Jake and Telly's caught my eye. Today's perfect weather made me want outdoor seating, which I received. I ordered The Cucumber martini and the Gyro Pita with French Onion soup as my side. While I enjoyed my complimentary warm pita quarters to dip in balsamic and olive oil, I enjoyed the sun and the perfect The Cucumber martini. YUMMY!!! I don't like sweet drinks; this was the perfect light cocktail. Entree- Gyro Pita and French Onion Soup. Had to start with the soup because soup should be eaten hot. THIS WAS THE BEST FRENCH ONION SOUP I have had since I was a child 50 years ago and my mother made it. The perfectly seasoned broth cradled the sumptuous and plentiful onions. The Swiss cheese was masterfully melted over the baguette slice. Both were fabulous back-up tones to the soup. I have to admit, I was too full from the pita/balsamic-olive oil appetizer and onion soup to eat more than a mouthful of the Gyro pita. But is was delicious. I took the rest home to eat later. Can't wait to go back to Jake and Telly's

Traveling for leisure and stopped in for lunch. This place is definitely NOT stroller/wheelchair accessible. We had to carry the stroller UPSTAIRS. Service by the hostess was poor and she wasn't accommodating our party by seating us somewhere where we can have the stroller next to us for the baby to sleep in so we can eat and enjoy more comfortably. However, service by our waitress was great! She checked in on us often to make sure our needs were met. Food was okay. Other party members said their food wasn't unique to its restaurant "name" and that they could've got it anywhere else. For example, the pasta with meatballs and the gyro sandwich. One said it tasted like frozen gyro meat that was thawed and cooked, not fresh. I ordered the Greek burger and I'm sure the only Greek thing about it was the cheese. I'm surprised they didn't add any Greek seasoning to the patty or something. The roasted potatoes for my side weren't cooked all the way and some pieces still raw. The best food was probably the appetizer, two hummus dips with veggies and pita bread. The pita bread was fresh tasting and warm. Carrots were crunchy, but the cucumbers were okay and not as crispy to the bite. Will not be back to this restaurant.

We were super hungry after we left the airport and Jake And Telly's was where we went for lunch. It was so so good! Our server was awesome! I may have overheard he was the owners nephew?? But he was great. Such a great first stop on our Colorado trip because of him and how good the Gyro plate was. It was a little pricey but worth it and we would love to go back for a date night dinner. The complimentary Ouzo shots were a nice way to end our lunch!

Celeste J.

Yelp
Food was different ordered the gyro entree and lamb meat came out like pieces of spam versus sliced. flavors were good . Sauce was excellent. Service was horrible almost took 50 min to get our lunch and item was cold. I thought we would have a normal gyro sandwich. Disappointment. Went based in Tik Tok review. Ambience fair. Hard to get to the restaurant with stairs.

I stopped in here while I was in town for work. I was surprised at how many great places it looks like there are to eat in CO, Springs as I had never been. I do think I chose the right one though! I started with a Greek salad and everything from the feta, tomatoes, olives, onions to the peppers was all very fresh and crisp. I then moved onto a small sampler of the taziki with carrots, cucumbers and pita, it too was very good. For my main dish I went with the Venison steak special and I am glad I did as it was very tasty and everything else on the menu is there all of the time. It looked so good I forgot to take a picture before it was gone. My server Jennings was extremely attentive, helpful and nice. He assisted me with my dessert dilemma and rightfully so steered me toward the lemon poppyseed bread pudding which was fantastic! It was not your traditional bread pudding soaked in sugar water and frosting, it was drizzled with a sweet lemon cream and toasted in slices much like toast. It is a great restaurant all around with a bit of an upbeat atmosphere, if you can get the outdoor patio seeing the view is amazing too. Definitely recommend that you try it if you are in the area.

Absolutely amazing. I'd move to Colorado just to eat this weekly. Get the fire cheese. do it. You know you wanna. You won't regret it either

UNPOPULAR OPINION... I was not very impressed, if I'm being honest!! I feel badly not leaving an excellent review, but that's genuinely reflective of my experience. If anything, if I was just basing it on how I felt about my meal, it would be a 2 star. Anywho, we went here for a friend's birthday dinner.. I called 4 or 5 times, and left a couple voicemails (trying to make a reservation)... nobody ever called me back, but it sounds like their phone system was being weird. When we arrived and asked if we had a reservation, we explained the situation and they seated us quickly so I definitely appreciated that. The ambiance in the restaurant is cozy. The food.... I was not impressed by the food, quite frankly. I am a vegetarian and usually I have quite a few options at a greek restaurant. That was not the case here, unfortuantely. I was really hoping for falafel.. maybe I'm wrong about that being greek, but I know I get it at just about every greek restaurant that I go to. Anywho, it was on their menu 3 years ago, but I guess they took it off. I ended up ordering 2 sides - the potatoes, which were dusted in feta cheese but not nearly enough, and quite literally buttered orzo. I asked the waiter which type of orzo he preferred and he recommended the buttered herb... which was fine, but considering it was literally just cooked orzo drenched in butter with a sprinkle of herbs, it had no business costing $10. And at least MY portion sizes (both sides) were EXTREMELY small, and very overpriced. Both sides were extremely small, at $10 each. I could expect to pay $5 and that would make sense given the complexity and the portion size. Please be aware that even their hummus is $17. I am comparing it to Seattle food, so maybe it just isn't a fair comparison. My friends who are local have been telling me about this restaurant since I moved! I am glad that I got to try it, but I wouldn't go again on my own (only if a friend wanted to celebrate there or something). For my diet, the options are too limited and the options that are available are way overpriced.

This was not only delicious food with great service, it was a whole experience with the decorative murals, beautiful patio seating, and and entrée served flambé. We are so glad we happened upon this wonderful restaurant while on vacation. We will come back on future visits!

This cute and beautifully painted restaurant is located in old Colorado City with a small parking lot. There wasn't any space for parking so we found some on street parking. There are parking meters that take credit cards or can be paid using a mobile app, which is nice. The restaurant is upstairs and is beautifully painted with some famous vistas. The staff was friendly and helpful. Most of the dinner was good and went off as expected. We had some wine, pita bread, warm ground beef dolmas and a caprese app. Those were overall good. Dinner is where we had a problem that was fixed. For diner I ordered the lamb and beef meatball dinner and the diner had the mussels. Their dinner was fine. Mine was terrible. It tasted like a combination of stinky feet and soiled underwear. I like and regularly eat lamb, so it wasn't just the normal gamy lamb flavor. It was terrible. I had the people I was dining with it and they agreed there was something wrong. I made the mistake of swallowing a bite. They were smart and spit it out. The waitress was called over and quickly took the plate away. She brought a menu and I ordered the shrimp pasta dish. The manager came over and confirmed that she knew about the issue and came over a couple of times to let me know the replacement was on its way. That was nice that they were communicative. The waitress offered to bring me the dinner in a to go box - which was nice, but we were not in a rush. We were served the replacement dish and it was wonderful. No issues there. We even ordered some more wine and a to go dessert. So why didn't I give a higher rating? Well, the following day I had severe food poisoning symptoms. I don't live in the area and I was so sick that I had to stop several times on our way home. I haven't ever been this sick before. I'm not sure if I just got a spoiled dish, but I paid for that one bite dearly. I recommend trying them again. They did everything right when it came to the issue at hand.

This place was amazing! Very nice ambiance with the option of outdoor dining on the balcony that has a nice view of the cute little downtown area. The Greek wine was delicious--best rose I've ever had, even when I was in Greece! I had squash and zucchini cakes that were a flavor explosion in my mouth. My dining companions had the lamb in tomato sauce and the grilled lamb--both ate every bite and said it was amazing! The staff was very nice and knowledgeable about the food and the wine. Service was great and very friendly. Don't miss this place!

Always YES!!! Food, appetizers, sangria... OMGosh, this spot is the best Greek Cuisine. I recommend this spot for lunch and dinner. The OCC location is amazing. Wonderful

The only Greek food in Colorado Springs I could possibly recommend. The great news is that they have vegetarian options! Vegetarian moussaka?! What?! Impossible to find but not here! And nice Greek wines. It's not inexpensive, but that's ok when you crave the Greek islands. Trust me.

Cute and cozy atmosphere. Very friendly staff and the food tasted wonderful. Definitely more on the pricier side, but if quality is what you're looking for, you're at the right place.

When J&T has a good day, everything is excellent and couldn't be better. We have frequented this establishment on a pretty regular basis for the last several years. Many times, food, service, and atmosphere were exceptional. A few times, service was slow and inattentive (leading to long wait times even when the restaurant isn't busy). Typically, food is wonderful and the experience is fantastic. The specials are always wonderful and the red wine sangria is a lovely treat for a warm day on the patio. The views are absolutely worth the visit.

Wanted to try a new restaurant while visiting Colorado Springs. First of all, finding parking is not as convenient. Second, this place is not baby and stroller friendly. The restaurant is on the 2nd story with stairs, so it is not handicap and stroller friendly. They weren't accommodating having our stroller close to us to lay our 2 month old baby comfortably due to customers coming by, when there was plenty of seatings. Although with this situation, we still wanted to give this place a try after it was not being stroller and it was our mistake. Lesson learned. Anyways, food was ok, appetizer with the 2 dip was probably a better entree than the man entree itself. Our server was great, it was just the situation with the baby and stroller that was an inconvenient.

This is actually a really nice place. Our waiter Rubin was very quick and nice, he made small talk and even told us about all the best foods and was SUPER friendly. I was hangry and he put me in a good mood so thank you Rubin. we ate many different foods from octopus, to spaghetti, and even a drink that my accompanying party had called ouzo. The octopus was not chewy at all and made JUST RIGHT. The pita bread was addicting!! i think i might have had to many ahahaha! After saying no to dessert (which i wanted to try) he was very nice and told us he was very happy to serve us and said goodbye. Thank you and we will be back soon.

Sunday evening while camping couldn't have been better! The service was excellent, with Sydney happy to chat and listen. We split the gyro plate. This is NOT your typical gyro! Roasted potatoes covered with lightly steamed veggies and the topped with thick wedges of gyro meat. No crispy, dried edges of meat on this plate. Sorry I forgot to take a picture. Then a rolled Baklava drizzled with chocolate was a perfect finish (pictured). Would love to go back and try another dish!

I've had lots of greek / middle eastern food over the years and have come accustomed to what quality and authenticity tastes like. This includes trips to Greece. Let me tell you...I was pleasantly surprised at how great the food was here! We had the vegetarian sampler and Greek staples like dolma and hummus were excellent. The beans that came with it were something I have not had before, and it was also very good! Their gyro? The best I've ever had. It was a bit different than what I've had before but it was just satisfying beyond belief! The roasted potatoes with olive oil and feta were also a perfect side. Is this place a little pricey? Yes. That's to be expected in a spot like this. But it is no tourist trap. The food and service are well worth the price!

So, I am not sure how to start this review. First, I need to say I have been to this restaurant several times, with mediocre results, not ever outstanding but not something exceptional, but we come back. During this experience we were greeted with exceptional friendliness. We were given a great table on the patio that was very accommodating for two people. We were greeted by our server, Johnny. When asked what we wanted as a beverage, we expressed we wanted a white wine similar to Pinot Grigio. Johnny said he had a Greek wine that was similar. We were given a test sample and it was pretty bland - not like a Pinot Grigio. I even asked him to take a taste for himself. His comment was they gave you the wrong wine. We also noted that the wine was not chilled? Johnny said he had another wine to taste and about three or four minutes later he showed up with another glass of a sample wine. Again, it somewhat more tasteful but still not chilled. He then explained their cooler was not operating and he could not supply a chilled white wine. At this point, we requested that he give us a red wine. Quite some time went by and we did not receive our wine. After some time our meal and our appetizer was delivered at the same time. Still no wine. At this time, our server Johnny walked by as he was bussing a table and noted that he would go get our wine. He was very apologetic. When my wife and I informed him of our dissatisfaction for service we had received, we were informed by Johnny that he had had a very difficult day because of the cooler and whatever. This was his excuse for his inadequate service. Ok, at this point I must say, I eat out almost every day for one or two meals each day. So you might call me a restaurant snob, but if I am going pay the cost of food and beverage I expect to be served accordingly. Please note I am not shy of paying 25 to 50 percent gratuity for exceptional service. I was told by my wife to get off Johnny's case and I did. At the end of this experience I was told by Johnny that he had conferred with Jake, (Please note Jake never came to my table to talk to me.) that because I expressed my opinion and embarrassed my server Johnny, that I was not welcome to return to his restaurant. One additional thing, I requested salmon on the side with our salad. I asked for it to be medium and actually had a conversation with Johnny about this. It came as almost raw. Because I had complained about the previous service, I was reluctant to continue to complain any further. So if you haven't figured it out by now. I will take Jake's recommendation and I will never visit his place of service ever again. And, I do not recommend this establishment.

If one's looking for great Hellenic fare, don't catch a flight to Athens; just go to Manitou Springs. --I've been to both. The meals are great; ambience is charming. Only one drawback: that's a looooooonng flight of stairs!

Derrick G.

Yelp
This is an amazing Greek restaurant. I ordered quite a few items from the menu and I was thoroughly impressed. I tried octopus for the first time as an appetizer, it had good flavor and was cooked perfectly. I ordered Arní stó Foúrno (sliced leg of lamb over orzo), with green beans for my entree. The leg of lamb was cooked perfectly, and paired well over orzo. I tasted Pastítsio (Greek Casserole with Noodles, with blend of ground lamb and beef and onions seasoned with nutmeg and cinnamon), it was delicious. For dessert I ordered baklava, which was very tasty. The only drawback was the baklava fell apart very easily, I wish the baklava was a little firmer. My server did an okay job, he forgot several things I asked him throughout the meal, but he was at least friendly. If you Greek food. this is a great restaurant to try.

My friend & I have always wanted to try this place out. The portions were large so we split a meal. We were going to add a salad but glad we did not. The appetizer plate was plenty & so delicious!!! Service was great! We will be back.

Awesome service! House sangria was awesome! Ordered the mixed plate appetizer, and the pork loin entree! We will definitely be back!

Three stars for the food- The gyro meat, chicken gyro, and Greek salad were all solid menu picks. Even the two dip platter (Taziki and hummus) was tasty (although the veggies were definitely second day). Unfortunately though, we waited 10 minutes for them to set us a table for 5- while the restaurant only had 2 other tables sat. I've never seen a hostess move so slow, and that's saying a lot! Then we waited another 30 minutes for our meals to arrive. Even though the food was good, the service is what will keep me away. Ambiance/ decor was tired, dim, and overall underwhelming. Won't return and wouldn't recommend.

Love the dolmas! And who doesn't enjoy Old Colorado City. Highly recommend if you want some delicious green food.

Food/Drink: 4/5. Hummus was probably the best I've ever had. Everything else was meh, especially for the price. Atmosphere: 4/5. The place was lovely but they played the same set of four songs over and over and over again. Service/Prices: 4/5. Service great. Prices Unusually expensive. Overall not worth the hype/ price but still has some gems food wise.

Ok, the stairs were daunting (I have medical issues that make stairs hard on me), very much worth the effort. Hubby and I don't have the opportunity to have Greek food often. Food was good but dessert was the best! The were out of Baklava and instead suggested the Seragli, which was a very, very close second to Baklava. Very close! Would definitely recommend and it's worth the climb.

Have always loved this place. Food was not as good as I remembered, but the waitress was really not very good. Didnt remember anything we asked her to do. Probably will affect me going back. Makes me sad.

Stopped in for lunch after a long afternoon of shopping. Absolutely enjoyed the cream sauce pasta with chicken feta meatballs. Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I would say the entrees are on the pricier side, but also worth every penny. Lots of seating inside and out. We really enjoyed our lunch!
