In Short
During the week, this white tablecloth Greek cafe caters to those working and living downtown. Things are livelier on weekends with live music and couples taking advantage of the updated location's spacious Mediterranean decor. A mezze platter is a spread of dolmades, stuffed with rice and scented beef and cool tzatziki dip. The moussaka piles super-thin layers of eggplant and potato over spiced ground beef, all topped with a creamy, cheesy bechamel sauce. Fluffly, freshly made pitas com as a free side with most orders.

Eat at your own risk! Having been to Greece, I was excited to learn that there is a new Greek restaurant in town. I checked the place and was extremely disappointed. The waiters were rude and slow. The food was NOT even close to Greek food. It was cold, tasteless, and chewy. To make things even worse, my date got food poisoned after our dinner and I had to take her to the Emergency Room at midnight! Save your money and health and go eat some where else!

Austin5 must be confused...it's on 6th, not 5th, and there are no waiters. You order cafeteria style from a line. Maybe she's thinking of a different place?? I've been there twice in the past month and have enjoyed it both times. The lamb on the sampler plate is moist with great flavor, and the sauce is perfect. The plain jane greek salad was awesome as well. It's a great place for a quick lunch downtown.
