Sad to see this place close, but excited for them in their next chapter if it’s anything like their Greek menu was, they will knock it out the park

Wanted to dine here one last time before the concept changed to a Ramen restaurant. We had the grilled octopus and spread trio as an appetizer which were flavorful and well portioned. Split the Greek chicken, lamb shank, and swordfish entrees between 4 and had leftovers 😋 All were deliciously prepared and made for a great tasting menu! Service was excellent as always! Sad to see this change over but respect the owners choice to move on 🥹 We drive 30 mins to dine here and probably won’t do that for Ramen.

Delicious food and great atmosphere! Service was spot on. So sad that they are closing their doors- we just came back from Greece and the food here was very comparable! Will miss this place! Thank you for a great restaurant!
