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
- Pros: Fish, Pork, free valet park, salads, soups, service, wait staff
- Cons: desserts are blahhhhhhhhhhhh, but who cares

Greek Islands has great food and excellent service!! Some of the best Greek food in Chicago! My family and I always go there when we're in the mood for authentic Greek dishes. Convenient Valet service or parking lot directly across the street. Friendly staff. Pleasant atmosphere.

My family likes to go out to eat for special occasions and the Greek Islands was one of our choices several times. There is vallet parking, quick and polite service, and excellent food. I would suggest the lemon chicken and the flaming cheese. It is always a must have when we go. It is a little pricey but it has great quality so its worth it.
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!
- Pros: Food
- Cons: Service
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!
- Pros: Menu, food, atmosphere
- Cons: Not right downtown

One of the best restaurants in Greektown. Great place to take a cab from the loop and eat. I recommend the mostaccioli. Did recently get closed down for a day because of some health violations, though.

This was my 1st time to Greektown (Im from Florida) and I had read the good reviews of Greek Island. I have to say that they were correct. This is a very nice but casual restaurant. Was seated immediately. I ordered Dolmades, Tirokafteri for apps and the Village Salad with Grilled Chicken for the entree. Each of them were made to perfection. The flavors were so good that I could not help but over eat.... I ate almost everything that was put in front of me. The 2 mile walk there and back was worth every step!!!
The wait staff was a little slow but that kind of stuff does not bother me so to those that it does, slow down and enjoy life a little more.... You only get one shot so slow down and enjoy the experience. Overall I would have to say that this is a highly recommended place and this is from someone that is a pretty good cook and rather hard to please.
