Incredible food! Olive oil tastes like it is straight from the olive grove back behind the restaurant. Refreshing watermelon salad, fresh and yummy feta on everything, & ribeye grilled to perfection!

DONT MISS THIS PLACE! perfect ambassador of Greek cuisine and hospitality. The lamb chops and galaktoboureko dessert are to die for. Make a reservation. Sister restaurant of Kokkari in SF.

This is Greek food done right in an upscale atmosphere. Don't miss the Saghanaki, Octapodaki tou Yiorgou, or Kokinisto me Manestra and read all about my visit on WinstonWanders below!! Read more

The lamb shank and lamb chop is amazing, dessert is my favorite. They are so sweet to split it even for us.

Lamb meatballs, beet salad, raviolis...everything is fabulous. If their homemade sour cherry ice cream is on the dessert menu, don't pass it up! Wait staff is super friendly.

Try the zucchini cakes and evvia pita. Dessert with pistachio ice cream is amazing!! Top notch service and ambience!!
Ashley YueAugust 28, 2014
Impeccable service and great recommendations from the waiter. The vegetarian risotto and lamb chops are our favourites. The octopus is good for starter too
Cookie BartolomeOctober 15, 2014
Everything we ordered was good. Exceptionally good octopus & lamb chops. Went perfectly well with the Duck Horn wine we ordered.
Jennifer EvansSeptember 24, 2015
Amazing food and fantastic service. Try their roasted meats (selection changed daily) and roasted artichokes with eggplant & yummy yogurt sauce.
Mariianne CraryDecember 26, 2014
Good idea to order shared appetizers for the table. The appetizers are outstanding and authentic. Chef Mario is one of the best in the area!

Sister restaurant to Kokkari in SF. Upscale, delicious & fairly authentic Greek food. Grilled artichoke, eggplant & octopus stood out.
LindaJuly 17, 2013
Halibut special (served over augula, fricasse and tomatoes with their dressing drizzled over it alll) was stupendous. Sampled several desserts - Galaktoboureko was the best!

Octopus, grape leaves and riblets for appetizers. Or go for the zucchini cakes and grilled prawns. All are amazing
Andrew ShuttleworthJanuary 7, 2016
All the food was really good. Flavorsome without being over powering. I had both fish and lamb. Great Greek wines too.
ElisaOctober 13, 2017
Get the branzino (sea bass), so good! Nice, cozy ambience but try to get a table farther from the door.
ClareJanuary 11, 2016
The rotisserie chicken is wonderful, as is basically everything. Sunday nights are a good option here for family dinner
Ryan BrallierNovember 2, 2019
Both the lamb shank and the lamp chops are delicious.
Andrew LamOctober 20, 2010
Consistently one of the best/busiest places in the Bay Area. Give these a go: octapodaki, arnisia paidakia, moussaka, souvlaki. Make a reservation well in advance. NB: sister of Kokkari in SF.

Levraki is the best. Octopus starter and lamb riblets are awesome too
Alan ShenApril 22, 2014

Octapus for starters, lamb chops for main and galaktompoureko for desert!

i prefer the lamb shank to the lamb chops just because they are more moist. crab cakes / mussels are good too
