Everything was great. It was bingo night which we didn't realize so hearing each other was a little hard but no big deal. Great food and drinks as usual.
I liked the pictures of the inside on the website which intrigued me to make a reservation very easily online using open table. Decided to try it out for a 1st date. I was offered to sit outside or inside. The lady decided to stay inside which was nice cozy bench seating. This allowed me to sit beside her for half the night and get close. The staff was very attentive. The menu was limited but offered a variety of choices. The margarita's were tasty and a decent strength even thought they ran out of strawberries that night. Watermelon and peach did the trick either way. It was a Tuesday night which happened to be Bingo night and that was a fun surprise. Even better we won the first round and the reward was a small fancy looking teapot. Definitely enhanced the mood of an already great date. Parking was on the street but was able to find a spot very easily a few buildings down.
Food is always awesome and it is one of our favorite patios in the Somerville area. Highly recommend trivia night with some friends.
Overall impression is that the owners are trying to up-charge and under-staff what could otherwise be a good little Greek restaurant or a Cambridge cocktail bar but is an odd, over-priced mix of both. We sat on the patio, which was lovely but involved serve-yourself water, napkins, and cutlery - an instant red flag that owners are stretching servers too thin. I got the "And So It BeGins" cocktail and my friend got the "Lady Guava" and both were good but quite small for the $14 price. I had the $14 chicken souvlaki "loaded," which apparently meant adding $2 for cucumber and stuff that just belongs on there to begin with. And the menu says "choose your side," which to me makes it sound like a side is included (and would have justified the price) but the sides were all extra. My friend got the burger that has bacon on it and comes on some kind of cinnamon English muffin with a side of fries and ketchup packets for I think $18. Everything was good, I just felt like we should be paying half the price and getting it at a food truck. I was curious about the baklava cheesecake but not curious enough to stay. We went across the street for another round of drinks before calling it a night.
Cocktails are delicious and the patio space is great in the summer. Inside it's funky/eclectic but everyone on staff is extremely friendly.I really appreciate the handheld POS devices, hopefully this catches on so when you settle up, your credit card never has to leave your table again.As for the food, I loved the spanikopita. The bacon-wrapped dates were better than the ones we had at our wedding. The "DJ Threeway" dip is also a great choice for sharing.Need to try the gyros next visit.
Dinner with friends last night on the patio. Atmosphere was great! I had the gyro and salad, delicious. My friends all enjoyed their meals very much. We ended dinner sharing cheesecake baklava, so good!! Also drinks were really good. I was looking forward to the mastica margarita but tried what everyone else was drinking, I forget the name but it was purple, really good. Can't wait to go back!!
The food is amazing and very much tasty, the staff is so friendly and attentive, the restaurant is overall a great place to have a lunch or dinner.
It might look like a mid range bar in a random neighborhood from outside, but this place has definitely became one of my favorite spots in town. It has great food and great cocktails like Baklava Manhattan Or astronaut ice cream in a drink!!Also the staff is super friendly!
Haven't been here in a while, but the food and vibe is just as great as I remember! Wish we had more energy to stay for karaoke night, but maybe another Wednesday.
Ultimate Karaoke Wednesdays is so much fun! Show starts at 9PM
