A beautiful restaurant. The food was outstanding. We had the platter for two and a few of the mezes. The octopus was lovely.

Loved the food, service and rooftop deck. Less fond of the hookah pipe being provided to adjacent table.

Food was absolutely delicious. Sat outside and it was so nice. Great drink menu as well. All desserts are made on-site and were great.

What a lovely evening! The food was delicious, the service was friendly and timely, and the view of the water from the back deck was enchanting. It was the perfect place to celebrate a mile stone.

We had a great meal on the upstairs deck of the restaurant. Food was great, view was fantastic, but it was freezing! No heaters apparently and no shield from the wind. We were too cold to stay for dessert.

Wonderful outdoor seating, beautiful view, delicious food, and great service!

Beautiful restaurant. Sub-par service. Didn't receive the waters we asked for. Food was not good at all. My husband ordered a lamb burger cooked medium and it came out well done.Super disappointed but honestly it's pretty on point with other restaurants in Seattle. Bad food, sub-par service, extremely expensive. We went home and ordered a pizza.3 drinks, a hummus plate, grilled salmon and 2 lamb burgers was $119 plus tip.

Ephesus is an authentic Greek restaurant playing traditional Greek music as you dine and it overlooks Puget Sound.  The views are remarkable and the food was wonderful.  Again we opted for appetizers because on this particular night we were doing a restaurant crawl where we visited 2 different ones.  We ordered the fava beans, flaming saganaki cheese and octopus then finished our meal with an assortment of baklava.

Ate on the Patio. Very roomy and covid-safe feeling. Had lamp chops tasty, but a little overdone, saganaki (excellent) and a terrific Greek Farmers Salad. Everyone was as pleasant and happy as can be.

I had decided that I wouldn’t write bad reviews because restaurants are struggling to survive. However, this is one of the worst meals I have had in a restaurant. The server was absent, delivered the wrong order to our table. Kebabs were overcooked, rice was an inedible blob. We ate a few bites and left the rest of the meal behind. It is shocking that this restaurant is still open.
