One critic calls the chicken thigh souvlaki, served with orzo and grilled baby peppers, one of the most flavorful bites in recent memory, and singles out the Greek fries. Another found the grilled octopus and gigantes bland and recommended sticking to the extensive Greek wine and spirits program over the food.
Lamb ribs, saganaki, and lavraki get repeat mentions from diners, and the kitchen's whole fish roasted over wood fire and a king-crab-topped moussaka are the menu's bigger swings. Business casual, dinner only — reservations recommended given the room's strong service/ambiance reputation even where the food reviews diverge.
