I just came back from eating some of the best lamb I've had in my life. As soon as you step into this charming Greek restaurant, you see a charcoal pit with a pig and lamb slowly roasting. The aromas filled the room and my mouth started watering. I was ready to eat! Their freshly baked bread is served warm with delicious olive oil, I also enjoyed the grilled octopus and eggplant appetizer. The tomato sauce that topped the eggplant was so fresh and tasty; I swear I could put it on top of just about anything. For our entrée we shared the roasted lamb with a side of feta fries (yuuuum) and the macaroni with ground beef in a béchamel sauce. Everything we ate was bursting with flavor; the meat was juicy, tender and cooked to perfection. I cannot wait to go back with friends! Our server David was amazing. He was very attentive and answered all our questions as well as made recommendations. It's been a long time since I've experienced memorable service and he exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend coming here on a weekend (after 6pm) when they have the roast pig and lamb, you will NOT be disappointed and if you want amazing service, ask for David.

OOOOPA!
