I've had to correct my review for Mykonos. I went there for dinner recently and their gyros were much better than when I had gone for lunch some months ago. This time the gyro meat was tender, moist, and flavorful whereas I must have caught them at a bad time previously. My heart still belongs to another gyro place, but Mykonos is good too. The chargrilled octopus is amazing, worth the price in my opinion. Everything else has a homemade quality, from the braised lamb to the pork skewers. The food has a very particular style which may be surprising to some, but give it a chance. Live music was a bit loud, turn down that amp please, but it was appreciated.

One week ago we had a dinner in the restaurant. "Mykonos" was our favorite for many years, but not any more. Lately the service is just awful. It was our last visit for sure. The restaurant was not very busy, almost empty, only 4 tables with customers. Two waiters, 2 bus boys, 4 "managers" in the lobby. We wanted to order first our drinks. I choose a cocktail from the list. Unfortunately the waiter did not have any idea what I was talking about. BTW they don't have a bar-tender. Also, they don't have a valet parking service. Then one of the managers promise to make my cocktail. Before we get the drinks, they brought the appetizer. It suppose to be well done fried zucchini. They were almost raw. The sauce(skordalia) was bitter, with a lot of garlic. Then the feta picante came with totally green tomatoes, a lot of fat and crushed paper. Even my husband, who loves spicy food was not able to eat it. The bread was old and very dry. No body from the previous good servers were there. Nobody was with masks! We were totally disappointed with the new management of this beautiful restaurant. They raised the prices, but not the quality of the service.

We had dinner to celebrate a birthday. The good was good overall...gyros was excellent, chicken kabobs were excellent, saganaki was good. There was a very large party which occupied the wait staff so we had to wait for our main course and to get the check. Nice environment under the tent though.

I'm never disappointed with the freshness and quality of food served at Mykonos. Lovely, friendly staff and excellent portions. The chicken kabob plate was a bit bland, but I prefer lighter seasoning on chicken. The okra stew packed with tomatoes and garlic flavored was surely a favorite. We also enjoyed the perfectly grilled crunch and seasoning of octopus and calamari! Overall, great experience and lovely staff.

We had the pleasure to enjoy live music, many greek people engaging themselves in dancing and humming their traditional songs. A piece of Greece, a country we love and a culture that we owe so much. Food is tasty, serving impeccable, overall a good experience.

Excellent Greek food and service. Saganaki, salad, zucchini, octopus, and calamari appetizers were all delicious.Highly recommend the salmon plate.

This Greek gem is the pinnacle by which all other dining experiences should be measured..from the moment you pull in the parking lot to walking out the front door, you are welcomed like family and treated even better. The food is absolutely exquisite, and the service second to none. Thank you for a wonderful meal!

I loved the food there. It was my first time there. I asked the waiter what plate I can try and he suggested on ordering Organic Chicken and it was delicious. I am very happy with Nikos service and the food there. I will definitely come here again.

We've loved this family establish for too many years to count! Best authentic Greek food, wonderful waiters, and even the bussing staff are fabulous and anticipate your every wish. The new decor is gorgeous too!
