We come regularly to highland park to visit family but only recently discovered this place. A huge hit with my big hard to please family. Everyone found something they loved. I personally went for the kale Caesar - first as a wrap with salmon and then as a salad with shrimp when we went back the very next day 😂. Good to know there is a quick, yummy solution when we need to feed our crowd.

I walked in and the ambiance was still. No music. I ordered Mac and cheese for my son the cheese sauce tasted like powder. The food was overpriced for what you get. The spinach pie was awful. I was really hoping for delicious good. The Greek potatoes though were delicious. I see raving reviews from others so maybe I made the wrong selections. All in all I regret trying this place. I gave higher stars not to ruin their rating because clearly others do enjoy this place, it’s just not for me.

Found this place as we were at hospital near by - good location and clean place with friendly staff. Felt the food was a bit pricey for what we got but it is freshly made. We did have a minor issue that manager acknowledged for correction in future. We will try again if in the area.

I’ve been here a few times over the years. Recently returned back a few days ago for some lunch. Looks like they recently renovated a little bit - overall the atmosphere is very pleasant and definitely an enjoyable place go grab a bite. Ordered the garlic parmesan wings. A dozen of them. They were drenched in the garlic parmesan sauce, which was tasty. The only issue is that a lot of the chicken was a bit bigger than what I would consider a “wing”. But nonetheless, it was tasty, and if I weren’t starving prior to lunch, I would’ve been happy with leftovers. Will be back.

People just simply avoid this restraunt at all costs. I walked in hungry. Placed a simple food order. The man at the register totally screwed up the food order. Leaving me with the complete opposite. Of what I had ordered which is truly unacceptable. In addition to this the food that I was served. Was greasy and nasty as it can get. No different then if I would have ordered food. From a two star rated greasy spoon diner.

Excellent food that is hearty and wholesome. You can eat until very full. Good value too. This is our neighborhood place and we eat their food often. 100% consistency.

Despite being a bit pricey for a counter-serve Greek restaurant, the food wasn't impressive. I've had much better Greek elsewhere. The atmosphere wasn't to my liking either, unexpectedly noisy, maybe due to a bad music selection. I wish there was a vestibule or something so each time the front door opened, we wouldn't freeze.
