“Food was absolutely amazing! My favorites were the Red Snapper and Spicy Feta dip. Also, the bar is large and the bartenders are awesome and so welcoming! The Labyrinthian cocktail is amazing, which can be made as a mocktail and is equally delicious!! The space is beautiful, clean, and perfectly curated. They really make you feel like you stepped into Greece. A great addition to the neighborhood!”
“first time here , came for the restaurant show weekend and the food was phenomenal. also big variety of greek liqueur”
“The vibe of this restaurant was beautiful from the decor to the customer service. And don’t even get me started on the food… the spit-roasted chicken was delicious.”
“"I have to say—this restaurant is absolutely amazing! It's just down the street from my work, making it the perfect spot for lunch or a quick bite. The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and everything you'd hope for from great Greek cuisine. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, treating every guest like family. I'm thrilled to see this place open—it's a real sign of growth and revitalization in Greektown, which is exciting for the neighborhood. Shoutout to Greg, the owner, for creating such a welcoming and impressive spot. Can't wait to come back again soon—highly recommend!"”
“A great new addition to our well-established Greektown. This restaurant delivers an elevated dining experience with flavorful, beautifully presented dishes. The cocktail menu is creatively crafted, and the wine list is curated by a Level 3 sommelier. Our server was incredibly friendly and took the time to make sure our dinner went smoothly without a single hiccup. The wood-oven octopus was the best I’ve had in the city, and the wagyu souvlaki (a special) was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor.”
“The red snapper was undoubtedly the star of the dinner, bursting with freshness and perfectly seasoned. Our servers were attentive and friendly, always ready to assist us. However, we noticed that half of the dishes on our table were over-salted in certain areas. There were a few bites of Youvetsi that were not salted, and they tasted fantastic. We informed the servers about the issue, but unfortunately, they didn’t take any action to address it. Considering these shortcomings, I’m not sure if I’d return to this restaurant. However, I’m not entirely disappointed with my experience either.”
“We can’t tell you enough about Maria’s service just amazing and will be back”
“Food was incredible, service even better! Shoutout to Steve and Thanos for great service! We will be back!”
“Went to the bar for quick drink and met Thanos. I asked him for a gin drink off the menu. This guy went out of his way to make me a great drink. Definitely going back for him”
“Thanos is a great bartender, very polite and kind. We enjoyed the happy hour and the grilled octopus. We will return.”
