Each dish I tried was an explosion of taste and a testament to the culinary prowess of the chef. The menu is a carefully curated selection of Greek classics, showcasing the diversity and richness of the country's cuisine.

The mezes (appetizers) are a must-try at Ouzo & Feta. I started with their signature spanakopita, a flaky pastry filled with spinach and feta cheese. It was heavenly. The tangy and creamy feta perfectly complemented the earthy spinach, resulting in a harmonious blend of flavors. The saganaki, a fried cheese dish, was also exceptional, with its crispy exterior and gooey, melt-in-your-mouth center.

For the main course, I opted for the moussaka, a classic Greek dish that is notoriously difficult to perfect. Ouzo & Feta's rendition, however, was a revelation. The layers of tender eggplant, seasoned ground beef, and velvety béchamel sauce melded together flawlessly, creating a symphony of flavors that left me craving more.

To accompany my meal, I indulged in a glass of Ouzo, the restaurant's namesake drink. The anise-flavored spirit was served traditionally, with a splash of water and ice. Its unique flavor profile paired exquisitely with the cuisine, providing a refreshing and authentic Greek experience.

As a sweet ending to my culinary adventure, I tried the baklava. The flaky pastry, layered with honey and crushed nuts, was a delightful combination of textures and flavors. It was the perfect finale to an extraordinary dining experience.

Ouzo & Feta is a true gem that exemplifies Greek gastronomy at its finest. The combination of warm hospitality, a cozy atmosphere, and impeccable cuisine makes it a must-visit destination for any lover of Greek food.

We’ve been to Ouzo and Feta for several big family dinners and we’ve always enjoyed it. I know Greek food very well, having lived in a city with a large Greek population. Last night I came in solo to have a drink and a light meal at the bar; so I ordered my glass of Retsina and then told the bartender/waiter I would like to order some food. I ordered the spanakopita and an order of the Greek fries with feta. First of all, they brought the food to me in plastic to-go containers! I never asked for it that way, nor did I say it was a takeout order — did they assume that just because I was a woman alone? I’ve dined alone over the world, so for me, it is not a big deal! Can’t say a very heartfelt apology was offered either. It felt rather sad eating food out of plastic containers while sitting in a nice restaurant. I ate some of the fries, but really didn’t like the sauce — to me it tasted like some kind of ranch dressing or mayonnaise, probably adapted to an American palette, because I’m sure many people would like it, but I told the waiter that I didn’t like the fries at all although I tried to eat them, and that he could take them away. And I ordered a different food item. When the bill came, I was really surprised to see that the fries weren’t taken off or some sort of small discount given! So I paid the bill and also tipped very well, but I was very disappointed on...
