First off, this restaurant is a quaint and small nice place in Morristown. The interior is beautiful and the service if phenomenal! Now for the food. Our thoughts to put it simply were that it was a bit overpriced. We understood that if it’s an expensive cut of meat, then it’s expensive, but for the appetizers, they were more expensive than they should’ve (maybe because of the economy). With that said, it’s time to review the food. The pita and the humus were alright, and nothing super special, along with the calamari. Something that was great was the spanakopita was phenomenal. The main courses were again, alright. My twin said the salmon was good, and the mashed potatoes were extremely amazing, and my kids said the meatballs were also good. The beef cheeks were good, super tender, but it was a bit overpriced. The parsnip puree and broccoli robe were also not that special. The Greek rice was fantastic though, just a little bit too much salt. The lamb was also very tender, but it was a lot. The drinks were also not that great. We ordered a strawberry lemonade, and it was more like a strawberry smoothie, you couldn’t really taste the lemonade. Although the strawberry lemonade wasn’t the best, the mint lemonade is a contender because it was better. Even though it was better it wasn’t the best lemonade I’ve tasted, especially for the price that was paid. I do just want to say though, our server was very helpful in choosing food, and was also very polite. Something that was so spontaneous were butter candles! It is essentially the candles made out of butter, and the fire melts the butter. So smart!!! I think this is somewhere that should be visited, as long as you’re ok with paying for a more expensive...

The spanakopita are melt in your mouth delicious, and the varied color of the black and white sesame seeds on top offered a nice contrast and a good crunch. The hummus is fresh and creamy, while the capers and olives on top offer a wonderful zing. Served with warm, fresh pita…yum. The grilled halloumi with apricot jam and toasted walnuts is not to be missed. The zucchini chips are thinly sliced and lightly battered, and cooked to perfection. They melt in your mouth. We love to order a fresh and zesty salad, with lemon and dill and crumbled feta in great balance. They make a great side of perfectly crisp falafel to go with it. The burrata salad is also outstanding, with fresh arugula, toasted pine nuts, and a delicious balsamic glaze to finish it off. My kids love the Greek fries with feta. Don’t miss the homemade baklava ice cream, or the bougatsa, a flaky baked custard, for a tasty finish to the meal. This restaurant is such a find. They treat you to caring service and consistently excellent food. They really care about the experience they create for their patrons. This is...
