I liked the atmosphere and food was not bad.

Wonderful place ran for years by the matriarch and her husband. Super food. Strong recommendation: ask for a seat out back... Worth it!

A very pretty restaurant, with a lovely patio garden. Service was superb. We celebrated my birthday with a lunch. We had grilled octopus, taramasalata, and saganaki for appetizers followed by grilled lamb chops, salmon and avocado stuffed with crabmeat. We enjoyed each dish very much. We shared one dessert (enough for the 3 of us) as we were stuffed after our meal. Dessert was alright...I would try something else next time. We had Galaktoboureko.

Perfect in every way. Nice wine, wonderful food and atmosphere. Great help and location. Beautiful garden. We had the flaming cheese, I had a Greek salad, the lemon soup, my husband had a combo. Love everything about this place.

I had dinner there with my mom. The food tastes homemade. Our waiter was a young man name Pablo who is very kind, courteous and attentive. He told us about the history of the restaurant. He also took time with our menu when we asked recommendations. The restaurant is very quaint and I love the atmosphere. Thank you Pablo for making us feel at home.

Food was amazing. We showed up on valentines day weekend and despite being very busy they were able to seat us. The food was incredibly tasty. Service was excellent, they are attentive and will repeatedly visit the table to check in. Several reviewers complaing about the cost of the restaurant. After eating at several places around old town we realized it is very difficult to get both a good sit down atmosphere and delicious good quality food for two under $100 in the area.

Great meal in Alexandria just out of D.C. - greek food that reminded me of home even though i am not from greece. Home cooked, not to expensive, charming place and staff

Nice people. Awesome food. Definitely a great place to eat in Old Town Alexandria. Great customer service.

Best Greek food I've ever had in the US. Fresh and incredible. They have a huge range of authentic dishes and all 5 of us tried something different and all were fantastic. My only regret is that i didnt leave enough room for dessert. The sampler dinner was amazing and so filling... we loved it. The decor is great and the staff is friendly and attentive. We loved it! Looking forward to our next visit!

It's so beautiful on the inside. From the outside i wasn't sure i was at the right place. The server i had was so cordial and professional. She knew all the specials and went to see if they had their Mediterranean branzino sea bass platter available also, thats what i came in for. That was soooo good. They offered bread with oil that was great also. The area its hard to find parking but with the recommendations i received i had to try it out.
