Now this is a great place! Great ambiance and vibe in a courtyard/alley and the staff and food were great. Sangria was delicious. Recommend!!!
Fancy vibe. Food was exquisite. The balcony was a must. Service was remarkable. Great date night or drinks with the girls. I'd skip the kids on this one.
Dennis is awesome!!! He's the best server! Super kind and efficient. We jokingly asked for a martini for the baby and he actually gave use a Just Peachy (without alcohol of course). Such a sweet gesture! We loved that! Our food was delicious as usual too! Ambiance is great too!
I ate here while making my first visit to Pasadena, as it was recommended to me by a family member. I can tell you that the pasta I had was excellent, the server knows his stuff, and the place has the general feel of a high end Italian restaurant. My one complaint is the outdoor patio is blocked off from facing downtown, so you're not getting much of a view. But, I'd visit here again on account of the great food.
Great spot for solid authentic Greek food. Did not make reservations but were seated within 10 mins on sat night. Portions were large, the Greek blend white was great. We really enjoyed our entire meal. Table was small and pita bread wasn't warm are only 2 complaints. Hummus is delicious! Must try. Street parking found across the street in paid garage. They also have outdoor seating
4/5 big portion of pasta, and giant shrimp 4/5 decent attentive service 4.5/5 nice facility, have to walk up a lift stairs to get to restaurant
My girlfriend and I spent a few weeks traveling in Greece last summer (including Santorini). We found the food here to be pretty authentic and solid. Everything we had was good, but my absolute favorite was the fried smelts followed by the halloumi cheese. The waiter could be a bit more helpful, but the service was nice and quick. We walked in without a reservation on a Thursday evening, but we were seated without waiting. I would not call the ambience romantic or upscale, but it's a nice restaurant a couple, a group of friends, or a family can have a good meal here. If you happen to be in Pasadena and are hungry for Greek food, you should give them a try.
Like a VIRGIN, it was our first time eating here and it was worth a try! My dear monster, I mean mother in law wanted to eat here for EASTER dinner... We reserved a table for 10 people. My niece and nephews ordered the lamb brochette. My mother in law ordered the branzino and we got the shrimp with angel hair pasta. I didn't have a chance to try the other dishes but, we LOVED our pasta dish! It reminded me of a rich marinara sauce with shrimp pasta... Parking is conveniently located across the street and it is $2 for every 15 minutes! Good food, service and ambience check! Cheers everybody!!
My first review since I've been promoted to "Elite" status here on Yelp. This one has to be a straight banger. First and foremost I would like to thank my family for helping me reach such a status in life. Mom, Dad, even my neighbor Babaghanoush (OG), you mean the world to me. I couldn't have done it without your loving and caring support for me. I thought having a 3.97 GPA was my greatest accomplishment in life behind dating the most beautiful woman on the planet. Dare I say being considered an Elite member may overtake my GPA. What's a high GPA even good for if you're not blowing constant credit card collection debts on one dinner. Although this restaurant was not the most expensive, it felt like I truly was at a cafe in Santorini. Back to the food. The chicken kebab plate was lovely. I wish I could meet the chicken that was butchered and prepared for my liking. Everyone always says they know the owners of this restaurant. I don't. Why can't I meet them? If you're reading this and you are the owner, I would love to introduce myself to you so I can now make that claim as well. You have done a fantastic job fine tuning the delicious foods offered at your establishment. If I wasn't a biological sciences major applying to medical school with 3.97 GPA and Dean's Honors List of the Century, I may very well have applied to work at this sexy establishment just so I can feel like I'm in Santorini yet again.
This popular place certainly lived up to the hype! We got a reservation for a birthday lunch. Got sat right away on a nice balcony. The service was excellent. Attentive and accommodating. The food we got was delicious. Every single plate had something special to it. The only disappointments were that they forgot our grape leaves in the appetizer (pictured) and one pair of our utensils was pretty dirty. Otherwise a great place and I recommend it!
