“ Everything here was fantastic. Authentic greek cuisine and could not as for better service or food. High quality ingredients and it really shows! We enjoyed every dish we had: Fried Feta, Souvlaki, and Moussaka. The Baklava is a must try as well! ”
“ We arrived closer to closing than we wanted to. We were thankfully able to get a table . This food is phenomenal. Everything. Was. Delicious. The service was great. They were out of a few items as it was the end of the day, which is understandable. Great prices for the quality and quantity of food. I highly recommend this place... it will not disappoint. ”
“ Ironically my boyfriend and I will be visiting Greece next year and I honestly believe that this was the experience that we needed! The waitress was very knowledgeable about everything on the menu. She emphasized how most of the food is imported directly from Greece, which was important to me. Also she didn't skimp on her attentiveness to us and I really appreciate that. The food was superb also and the portions were perfect! ”
“ I'm incredibly passionate about all things Greek, the food, the country, history, its amazing culture and people. And let me tell you, this restaurant is, without a doubt, one of the best Greek dining experiences I've ever encountered. The atmosphere inside is impressively modern and chic, far more so than the pictures convey. The menu is thoughtfully curated and concise, with every dish highlighting fresh ingredients and a clear dedication to quality. Yes, there might be a little wait, but that's because the talented chef is committed to perfection, and it's absolutely worth it. It's true that many self-proclaimed "Greek" restaurants today are Greek in name only, especially as fewer Greek immigrants are arriving in the U.S. sadly! However, this place is 100% authentic. The service is top-tier: exceptionally friendly and efficient. While it is a bit of an indulgence, my starter and main course were divine. every single bite was outstanding. You simply must experience this place! ”
“ They will take care of you here, local or not! This is a rare restaurant in downtown Cincinnati. The food is fresh and always on point, presented beautifully and with lots of flavor. They have inside and outside seating. Inside, the ambiance is light and minimalist. But let's talk about what you really come here for: the amazing food! I have been here twice now. Here are some of the dishes I recommend: Trio Plate - three heaping portions of shareable dips. They come with herby pita, but trust me, you'll need more! The typical dips are lucious eggplant based, spicy whipped feta, and creamy tzatziki. When I went most recently, they were out of the eggplant so it was replaced with taramasalata: cod roe made into a paste. I love fish for it's fishyness so this dip was phenomenal! My favorite among the dips. Char Grilled Octopus - This is a sliced octopus dish that comes with vinegary onions, peppers, capers, and olive oil. The Octopus itself has a wonderful smoky flavor from the grilling. The texture was light, not dry or rubbery at all. Grilled Calamari - This was a domestic catch of calamari, right off of Rhode Island apparently! The pieces came whole with slices in them. It was the texture to write home about though. The owner came out and told us about the two kinds of Calamari meat you can get. Most fried stuff is the tougher kind. Not this stuff though! It was only slightly chewy and very fragrant. Kotopoulo souvlaki - We have also ordered this several times. Honestly after all the apps, this dish comes home for leftovers. The chicken is always moist. There are a lot of fries! Persephone - This was my drink of choice. It reads like it might be soapy but it is very light and refreshing! Ouzo mexata - This is a drink of choice for those interested in an authentic Greek experience. ”
“ If you haven’t been here make it a dining priority! We were a party of 6 celebrating my son’s birthday. The service was impeccable! The ambience was relaxed but elegant (without being stuffy). The food was AMAZING!! I don’t event know where to start because it was all so good. Bread service - who knew bread and olive oil could be so delish! Olives- mmmmm! Octopus- oh my was this good! Fried feta- WOW! A must have is the Trio of Spreads with the pita. We shared a Horiatiki salad that was so light and fresh that I want to go back and get a whole one just for me :) . We shared the whole Branzino fish special, lamb chops, and Moussaka! The lamb chops melted in your mouth and the sauce was a flavor explosion ! All of it so wonderful! Also... delish cocktails. ”
“ First time trying Fillo tonight and I am hooked! I was dining with a group so we were able to try several things off the menu including the trio of spreads, octopus, calamari, fried feta, saganaki, zucchini fritters, Greek salad, baklava, and goddess cake. I am not exaggerating when I say that each dish was amazingly flavorful. There’s not a thing I ate that I didn’t absolutely love. The owners were so kind and knowledgeable and our waitress Brynn was amazing! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic and delicious Greek food! I was only able to take two photos as the rest of the food was consumed before I could. ”
“ The food was AMAZING! The chef and staff were so nice and friendly. This is my second time back & I will be coming here more often. Nothing short of an amazing experience. We had the fried feta, Greek fries, lamb chops & dutchess cake...all to die for! Stop in immediately ”
