I used to love this place up until just recently.
The food was always good but recently the food has taken a turn for the worse.
Most of the time the food is lukewarm and has a very bland taste.
Don't know what happened here, maybe they have a new chef.
The servic is very friendly and very good.
Just don't get stuck with the two older gentlemen as waiters and you will be fine.
My biggest complaint is the staff smoking in the restaurant.
First, it's not allowed in Virginia unless you have a special designated room..............which it does not have.
Second, when you see the chef come out of the kitchen to join the other waiters for a cigarette it makes you lose your appetite.
Third, the establishment reaks smoke fumes.

BIG DISAPPOINTMENT !!

I've eaten here for years with my friends, parents, and now wife. Everyone has loved it. The fish plaki is always a favorite. I personally love the grilled octopus, but it isn't for everyone. My wife enjoys the baked eggplant. The servers are very Greek and not always the best at English, which I can see could be off-putting to some, but we find them to be charming.

AWFUL service and bland, tasteless food!! Both times we went there, the servers were rude, as if we were putting them out by coming to their restaurant!! The fried calamari is soggy, and the linguine with scallops and calamari doesn't have any flavor. I was a waitress and am a very good tipper. For the first time in my life, I didn't tip. I work too hard for my money to give it people who are rude to me. We'll never go back!!!

Ate dinner there two weeks ago and became violently ill the next day. Since this was the only place I had eaten in the last 24 hours, I believe the food poisoning came from this restaurant and was so severe as to require medical care.

Service was also terrible....older gentleman has sour disposition and a "take it or leave it attitude." So, I will "leave it" for others and wish them well and hope they do not contract some form of food poisoning.

Went on a busy Saturday night. Hummus was inedible. Entrees mediocre. Service ovewhelmed and ungracious.
Hopefully they're better when not so busy.
Would never return.
