  Chef's preparation of the proteins was some of the best I've had anywhere. Side dishes and vegetables were shown the same level of care, adorned with high quality olive oil, fresh tzatziki and tahini. Be sure and get the grilled octopus - flown in from the Canary Islands - and the ribeye souvlaki, crusty, salty, wall-to-wall medium rare with a bright citrusy spice blend. The pita and hummus blow every other variant I’ve had out of the water. This is certainly a fine dining experience compared to the rest of the Pappas' restaurants and it absolutely delivers, even at an $80 PPA. Look, if you don't like Greek food, you probably won't enjoy the flavors - but if you don't like Greek food, you're not a real eater. We'll be back!

  We had a reservation for 7pm on a Saturday night. When we arrived at 6:55pm we were told that our table would be ready shortly. After 2 inquiries to the hostess, we were seated just before 7:20pm, having been standing waiting for 25 minutes. We ordered drinks which did not arrive until just before 7:45pm, in spite of our waiter telling us they would be out shortly. When the appetizers (a selection of hot and cold mezedes) arrived shortly after our drinks, they all had great flavor. The entrees (Moussaka, Chicken Souvlaki) were also high quality. Unfortunately, the restaurant was very loud (difficult to have a conversation across the table). After the meal I spoke with the manager about the issues. She was apologetic and said that they had my phone number and that someone from Pappas Restaurants would call me the following day. I never received a call. In summary, it really spoils a night out when you have to wait 25 minutes to be seated and then another 25 minutes for drinks to arrive. If we hadn't been out with friends, we would have probably gotten up and left. Not the level of hospitality and service I expected from a Pappas Restaurant.

  Beautiful space all around. Adorable patio and gorgeous large indoor space. The food was phenomenal. I enjoyed everything we ordered and am craving it to come back. After a great dinner, I left without my phone and didn’t realize until later when I got home. Despite the restaurant being closed, Julio answered the phone and helped me get my phone back. He offered to wait for me to arrive but an Uber courier was a faster solution. He very kindly not only waited to hand it to the driver but he also packaged it in two layers of to go boxes and a stapled paper bag to make my phone look like food to the driver as I was nervous about someone stealing it. I couldn’t be more grateful! I will definitely be coming back often. 😊

  Came in for an early valentine’s day celebration, and everything was absolutely perfect. When we first arrived, we were nervous about the noise level, but we were sat in a nice quiet corner, and from there we had an amazing time. Our server, Nico, knew exactly what to say, and helped us pick out the best dinner. We started with the hummus, Kalamata Olive Bread, and from Nico’s recommendation, the Shrimp Athena (which were awesome, highly recommend). We shared the lamb shank and salmon and it was all delicious. You have to get the Patates Riganates, they are soooo good. Fig old fashioned was so good, I had never encountered Greek wines, and Nico guided us through choosing one, which couldn’t have gone better. Can’t wait to come back and try more.

  We had a wonderful experience at YiaYia’s Greek Restaurant. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a great spot for both casual meals and family gatherings. Exceptional wine list. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the amazing service, friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. You’re treated like family from the moment you walk in. They offer Valet as well as plenty of self parking. A true gem that we’re always happy to return to.
