About Melissa Oakleigh

Set mid-pedestrian strip along Eaton Mall, this energetic Greek dining room handles sprawling family gatherings and lively weeknight dates with unpretentious ease. Regulars gravitate toward the charcoal-grilled souvlaki and generous shared meat platters—served with abundant tzatziki and twice-cooked potatoes—before crossing culinary lanes into woodfired thin-crust pizzas and tender calamari. The front counter keeps an all-day cake display packed with fresh baklava and house sweets until late.

  • Generous Meat Platters: Communal feasts come packed with char-grilled skewers, slow-cooked meats, and plenty of house tzatziki.
  • Beyond Tavern Classics: Traditional souvlaki and saganaki share menu space with woodfired pizzas and all-day pastry displays.
  • Buzzing Eaton Mall Energy: Even on Monday nights, outdoor seating and indoor tables stay lively well past dinner service.
