Delicious Medditerrian Foods. I and my friend went to the restaurant yesterday. The foods were very delicious. I ate meatball and rice pilafi. it was very delicious. I couldn't eat dessert because portions were very big! Be sure to try the restaurant.

Terrific food; terrific atmosphere; terrific service. When asked what was on the menu, the owner took my friends and I on a tour of the kitchen and probably would have let us sample, but we didn't ask. The service was outstanding. Drinks were refilled, bread basket was never empty, and the food. Absolutely delicious Greek food. The price was totally reasonable. For two people including appetizer and entree + soft drink, it was around $40. One of my favorite restaurants in the world. Not to be missed!

One of My Chicago Favs. By far best rest in Greek Town Service is excellent even during dinner rush on week ends Food is flat out great, quality, taste, portions, selection, etc. Wait staff so effecient you wonder how any rest can top

Cost of meal is same as an Outback, Fridays's but his place is better than Gibson's, Morton.s. Cap Grill in quality and tatse.

Words do not do this place justice.

You can take clients, kids, family, a date, etc to GI.

I travel and eat out every week and this is in my top ten rest list on any continent, country, city, town, etc

Fish, pork, chicken, soups, salads, especially beet salad are beyond words

This palce defines value for dollar

SOME OF THE BEST GREEK FOOD I have ever tasted1. Delicious food, excellent ambience. Prices were a little high, but honestly the food was superb - I had Veggie Mousaka and I hate aubergine, but it was outstanding. My husband ordered the Spanakopita and loved it. The waiters made us feel rushed and even though previous review had said the place was baby-friendly, I defintiely did not feel that way. Our waiter, Dmitri positively scowled at the baby and did not do anything to put us at ease. However, the food, like I said, was out of this world!

Great casual for friends and family. My native greek friend says this is her favorite restaurant outside of Greece. I have been here twice, and can't wait for the next time. It's a beautiful restaurant, has great food, and a lively atmosphere. I would definitely recommend going with family or a group of friends. They have large tables and easily accommodate everyone. The decor is gorgeous, but not overdone at all. You feel like you're right in Europe. Tables are perfectly spaced, but it isn't necessarily romantic, but it works well as a place for a date with good conversation. Great menu and great value for what you get!
