So disappointing. I was not able to find anything of substance to eat here because the gluten-free “menu” was extremely limited. As you can see, it’s basically the regular menu with 80% of the items (or at least any carbs) crossed out. I asked if there were alternatives and they could only offer a plate of vegetables, which of course I had to pay extra for. This place just feels like a tease for anyone who can’t eat gluten. Why yes, I can be safe and leave the bread on the side (which I would pay for) and stay safe, but what if I actually go to a restaurant because I’m hungry? lol. We had a small appetizer here and left. Will not be back.

Excuse the photo quality. I only remembered to snap a few shots halfway through the meal. I brought my family here for dinner on a Tuesday night, and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect. We didn’t have a reservation, so it was a good thing we arrived within an hour of the restaurant opening. We were lucky enough to get a table outside. Our waitress was absolutely phenomenal. I’m so sorry I didn’t catch her name. Since my family and I aren’t too familiar with Greek cuisine, her knowledge and guidance were incredibly helpful, especially when it came to selecting the wine. There were three of us and boy was I full. 6 plates were definitely just the right amount. We got TZATZIKI (classic dip with crispy pita chips), HORTA (the Swis-chard-picked-bean combo with tomatoes was immaculate), MARATHOPITA (it was unlike anything I’ve ever had before. The scent of lavender and the taste of honey was so special), MAGIATIKO (my sashimi lover heart was very pleased), GIOUVETSI (the texture of the braised lamb was incredibly tender. It was the perfect pairing with the orzo, which was coated in a rich, velvety tomato sauce), and lastly PAIDAKIA (my mom downed the pork chops in seconds). There was also a board of freshly cut vegetables (carrots, cucumbers, celery sticks, etc.) for the dip. For dessert we tried the PORTOKALOPITA (the orange phyllo cake was soaked with just right the amount of syrup. The manouri ice cream was tasty and it was primarily made of cheese derived from sheep or goat milk. My brother LOVED it). To combat the sweetness, I got wild chamomile tea and my mom got lemongrass tea. If you’ve made it to the end of this review, thank you for reading! Can you tell we absolutely loved this place? Most of the dishes we ordered were gluten-free friendly (with the exception of the lamb, which was coated in breadcrumbs, and of course, the pita chips). Since my mom is gluten-free, it was great to see her enjoy so much of the menu. Overall, this meal felt like a true experience. My tastebuds were completely intrigued. The flavors we tasted tonight were definitely unexpected in a good way:)) 100/10 would recommend ✨
