  • Lively tavern ambiance with music and dance

    The tavern comes alive with Greek music, joyous energy, and occasional spontaneous traditional dancing that transports diners abroad.

    Xenia, the amazing dancer from Greece, lead a traditional Ikariotiko dance and I followed.

  • Lamb Skewers

    All the food ordered was amazing, but the lamb skewers are a must when ordering.

  • Harvest Platter

    I have to say the harvest platter was right up there with the top dish of the evening, and its vegetarian, which i would not generally be favoring.
