   Great ambiance, excellent Lavraki, octopus, lamb riblets. Beautifully decorated inside with Greek design and cool lighting. Great place for dinner!

   Great new restaurant in San Carlos. A few service tweaks and it will be 5 star. Thought it was funny when we ordered Chianti and the waitress came back to apologize for the wait because she couldn’t find the Chianti Chardonnay. Might want to educate the servers a bit more.

   The food was excellent. We especially enjoyed the outstanding jazz trio of Mikel Bee (drummer), pianist, and bassist—excellent taste in the standards, solid rhythms, and savvy voicings. The filet minion souvlaki was delicious. Another nice touch was the tasty hot roll with olive oil while waiting for our order. We did not have a drink since we had to work tomorrow morning, but the bar appeared well-stocked, and the drinks looked attractive. We'll return, especially for the music offered on Monday nights (5-9 pm). It is about time that San Carlos had some hip live music happening again.

   Food was outstanding as well as atmosphere. Although the server was very nice, our order was messed up 3 times in a row. Then to pay at the end took 40 minutes. Very slow and off service outside. Because the food was amazing, we will be back, and they were very nice, but the slow pace and many mistakes did not match the quality of the place. Hoping that gets better.
