  We were here for breakfast because it came with our stay at the Holiday Inn. It was good, we all got the 2 egg and meat breakfast. The potatoes that came with were delicious!

  Interesting spot! We’re from out of town and have enjoyed a handful of restaurants in Saugus. We tend to stop here when flying in and out of Boston. We tried Ithaki without doing much research, and to our surprise it ended up being a bit fancier than we expected (the other places we’ve tried nearby are definitely more casual). The staff was warm, accommodating, and kind. They didn’t have any availability (which actually surprised us) but offered seats at the bar for dinner. The bar ended up being a great experience, and we didn’t feel out of place at all. The food itself was really good. My husband ordered the moussaka, one of his favorite Greek dishes, and he kept saying it was the best he’s had in New England. My chicken dish was tasty and absolutely massive; I took half home. It came with these delicious carrots, though the sauce was a bit on the greasier side. We also split a halloumi salad that was good, but not the best salad I’ve ever had by any means. We’d definitely return, especially now that we know it’s a solid date-night spot. The food was great and fairly priced, the staff was nice, and overall we really enjoyed our meal.

  Overcharged for basic quality food with tiny portion. I ordered a souvlaki with a side of rice for 30 bucks total and food wasn't even enough for a 8 years old. I guess the charge is for "ambience".

  A lovely, busy Greek restaurant. I started my meal with a nice expresso martini; my friend enjoyed the Persephone. I needed a light meal, so I chose the egg lemon soup and mussels. The waiter was right, there was enough for two. My friend had the cod. My only disappointments were the afterdinner masticha drink - a very light and aromatic drink. I think I did not care for their brand. Also the galatoboreko was over saturated with overly sweet syrup and needed more custard. Otherwise, a wonderful meal.

  The food was absolutely amazing, and our waitress was friendly and attentive. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because of how my wife and I were treated when we first arrived. When we walked in, the host told us that we could only be seated at a high-top table if we agreed to leave within an hour and a half. That would’ve been understandable if the restaurant was full, but it wasn’t. After checking the online reservations, we saw plenty of open time slots, which made it even more confusing. Thankfully, we didn’t let that ruin our meal. Once seated, everything from the food to the service was excellent. We’ll definitely be back, but hopefully the greeting at the door matches the great experience the rest of the team provided.
