It’s the perfect place for a special night out or just to enjoy amazing food and great vibes. Highly recommend—can’t wait to come back!”

“The food here is absolutely delicious. Every appetizer was beautifully prepared and had such an interesting, well-balanced flavor. It really feels like a place where you can discover something new — the taste combinations are unique and memorable. My dishes were cooked perfectly. Everything tasted very fresh, and nothing was overcooked or dry, which I really appreciated. You can tell that the ingredients are high quality and handled with care. The meat was cooked to the perfect doneness — juicy, flavorful, and expertly prepared. On top of that, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the service was friendly and attentive. Overall, a wonderful experience with fantastic Greek food. I would definitely come back and highly recommend it.”

“This was a nice spot. I was in the area and came here to grab something to eat. The food was good. The ambiance was great. There’s an area we’re its decorated really nice for birthdays. The view was amazingg. There is a parking lot as well.”

“First, the customer service here was absolutely perfect. They all work together from the server, busser, food runner, to the general manager. Specifically, the general manager his customer service is how every manager should be when running any place. Very involved, very attentive, and very helpful. I dine out frequently, but the unity here felt different. So in general it was very impressive. As far as the food goes, off the bat go during happy hour, you save a few bucks and you beat the insane crowd. We went on a Friday and got there around 6pm. The place was completely empty and as we are eating and look back the entire restaurant was PACKED both inside/outside/bars/tables everywhere. Our favorites were, Buffalo cauliflower, hummus (my friends liked a lot), spicy feta, the sliders and chicken wings (my friends loved I don’t eat meat), lobster pasta, land lava cake. Personally, I think the brussel sprout salad description should be explained or written out better. I love Brussels sprouts but wasn’t a fan of the salad, it’s shredded Brussels sprouts as the base of the salad and not fully cooked the way I imagined it as potential toppings rather foundation. I love falafel so I had gotten the falafel salmon, it was good. The sides came with white rice and tomato’s… if I would get that entree again I would substitute both of those sides out and just eat the spicy broccoli I ordered (“spicy” because it had red pepper flakes). The lava cake with the pistachio ice cream was delicious (pro tip, I would totally get the ice cream on the side so you can eat the cake the best way and not waste any, you’ll see what I mean if you go and NOT do this lol). Also my friends kept getting the margaritas there! AND our favorite these days, free parking with a beautiful view of the city! The ambiance was 10/10!! Perfect for a date night for anyone.”

“A hidden gem in the Fort Lee-Edgewater area! We went on a whim for dinner on the outdoor patio, which offers beautiful views of the city skyline. The ambience was lively and upbeat, and the service was friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious and nicely presented. I especially loved the grilled calamari appetizer and the salmon entrée — both cooked perfectly. The menu offers a great variety, so there’s something for everyone. Prices and portion sizes are reasonable for the area and the waterfront setting. It’s a wonderful spot for outdoor dining in Edgewater, and I’d definitely recommend it. Bonus: they also have live music on some nights, which adds to the experience.”
