    We went to the Keswick theater for a show and had dinner here beforehand, what a great move we made! The food was absolutely delicious the portions were huge and the service was top-notch. We got the Mixed Grill and had plenty left over for lunch the next day. This dish had lamb chops, chicken, meatballs, sausage, pork just about all the meats on the menu. They had potatoes and salad included. The food was seasoned just right and melted in your mouth. Our waiters and the owners were right on point. Do not miss this place if you get a chance!

    Enjoyed a meal here with very special friends. Delicious, authentic Greek cuisine. Our server, Bob, was very attentive, professional, and funny. We have been here a few times in the past and will definitely return.
