   Wow! Everything was perfect. Service Atmosphere and food was 10/10. Flavors were authentic and portions generous. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and the wait staff were professional and friendly. Appreciated the busboy cleaning table between courses. The lamp chops were cooked perfectly. moussaka had plenty of potatoes eggplant and was piping hot. Appetizers of Greek salad, octopus and Balos chips were delicious. We will be back.

   Good food - average service - very loud with place becoming a night club around 9:00pm. Not what we were expecting for a high end restaurant. I had been before and had great experience ao was disappointed

   Waited over an hour after our reservation time. Stood at the bar for an hour and was asked to pay for the drinks before they were poured. Unfortunate that this was our experience as we traveled from LA

   Music is ridiculously loud! Literally way too loud. My friend and I have lost our voice following coming here! Also, the reception area needs to do way better. We waited 30 mins for our table and their excuse was “we tried texting you” blaming it on not having the right # on file when they literally called me earlier that day to confirm my reservation.. regardless we were standing right there and they could’ve grabbed us so not a great first impression. The food is pretty good. Apps were great but my salmon was a bit salty. Drinks are OK. Table side service is 10/10. If I returned it would be for lunch.

We're always looking for ways to improve, and your comments about the reception area and the music will certainly help us. We're glad you enjoyed our table service and our appetizers, and we appreciate your comments about the salmon. We hope to see you again soon for lunch, perhaps after the busy dinner rush is over. Best, Balos Estiatorio Management Team

    Extremely rude doorman. Front desk staff unfriendly. Decor is pretty and trendy. It is a Very loud restaurant with a dj. Service by our waiter and busboy was excellent and friendly . Cocktails very good. Huge lines for men and women’s bathrooms. Overall expensive restaurant with good food but probably won’t go back. Much better options in DC imo.
