    Delicious food in a lively environment! Seating is really tight and felt a bit claustrophobic at times. The food is served family style and our waitress recommended 2-3 dishes per person. We ended up ordering more like 1-2 dishes per person and still had plenty of food. Definitely small plates but everything was delicious!

    I think this is the best restaurant food in Boston right now, really outstanding. The wine program is exclusively Greek, the list is huge, the grape varieties unfamiliar and unpronounceable, but the waitstaff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The restaurant struggles to keep wines in stock; I ordered two bottles that were not available that night. The place is crowded and noisy, the patrons generally young and hip, lots of fun.
