What makes it special: Shareable Greek meze and seafood with a convivial patio energy.
Who should go: Friends sharing plates and wine
When to visit: Reserve weekends; walk in early weeknights
What to order: Octopus; lamb souvlaki; trio of dips
Insider tip: Ask for the meze pacing—kitchen can stagger plates for longer hangs.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking along Union and Fillmore is limited; best after 7pm or on side streets. No valet service available.
Dress code: Smart casual; polished but relaxed—think linen shirts, sundresses, and loafers.
Noise level: Moderate to lively indoors; quieter on the small outdoor patio, good for conversation.
Weekend wait: Expect 45–60 minutes without a reservation after 7pm.
Weekday lunch: Usually seated immediately or within 10 minutes.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes – several meze, dips, and salads are vegetarian-friendly.
Vegan options: Limited – a few small plates and sides can be made vegan on request.
Gluten-free options: Yes – many grilled proteins and salads are naturally gluten-free; staff accommodate clearly.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes – cozy lighting, shareable meze, and a lively but not overwhelming atmosphere make it an easy first-date choice.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Possible early on weeknights or before 6pm; weekends require advance booking due to limited patio seating.
Is it kid-friendly? Somewhat – friendly staff and adaptable menu for older kids, but small tables and wine-heavy crowd make it better for adults or families with teens.
Best For
Better for: More authentic Greek meze experience and communal energy than nearby Mediterranean cafés.
Skip if: You want a quiet, drawn-out fine-dining meal or need large-party seating outdoors.
