Seeing how this is a Pappas restaurant, it’s no wonder it was amazing. The service, food, and drinks were delicious. Only complaint was that my ribeye was a little under. They didn’t ask what temperature I preferred, and I probably should have specified, but I figured they would have done medium rare. I guess you could say it was more on the rare side than medium rare, but the steak was still very tasty.

Absolutely love this place! Just went for the fist time and was wowed by the amazing food. Our waitress, Stephanie (pictured) was very helpful with picking out food, and made sure that we were doing well and was very kind. I would absolutely come back here again. The steak was perfectly cooked and the baklava cheesecake was to die for. Great place, which I highly recommend to anyone who is even remotely interested. Special thanks to Stephanie for the great service!

We celebrated Valentine's day here. The food was great. We liked everything we ordered, especially the olive bread. We had appetizers, main course, and dessert. The wine per bottle was slightly overpriced. The decore was nice for the level of restaurant they are going for (for perspective we have been to many expensive restaurants internationally). The waiter was knowledgeable and friendly. We will return.

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.
