One of my favourite restaurants ever! Great Greek food. Get the lamb chops or rib-eye. MAKE RESERVATIONS! Or go early. I have been going here for 10+ years and it's been consistent.

The coffee can be good or really bad depending on the barista. But if you are desperate and want to take a chance, go for it. I'd recommend asking any of the managers to pull you a good shot of 'spro.
