The Scene – Much to the chagrin of many, the European turned to ashes in 1999. But from the rubble has risen a new Phoenix, a somber, beautiful, romantic Greek restaurant. And what a place it is: high ceilings, deep and heavy carpet, hardwood and red leather upholstery. There are no howling babies or televisions blaring sports here. Instead, you'll hear Greek music of all persuasions. – – The Menu – Sample a horiatiki (Greek village salad) with tomato, cucumber, Greek peppers, onion, feta and Kalamata in olive oil dressing. The saganaki and kalamari were OK,…
Editor's Tips
- Don't Miss:
- The piece de resistance is the flaky, creamy baklava a la opa--sliced-up baklava over ice cream and Grand Marnier.
- Oh, Waiter?:
- The servers are terrific, sweet and kind-hearted.

Fish Soup
by john howell at Citysearch
Everything was very enjoyable and I would like to thank Kathy for taking me. If you like sea food, you MUST have the fish soup, I have never tasted any better anywhere. Also friendly service and great music.
- Pros: Good parking, Good service, Great food

Best Greek food I've had in years!
by Holbrook99 at Citysearch
This is the best Greek restaurant I've been to since I visited "GreekTown" in Detroit. The saganaki was great - my husband, who is not a cheese lover, wanted to order a second one. The service was very friendly, particularly the hostess who greeted us. The dolmathes - both vegetarian and beef-filled - were fabulous. My only complaint: the vegetable of the day was decent but would have been better if canned peas hadn't been used. I wish we had room for baklava with ice cream and Grand Marnier - it sounded wonderful. We settled for an order of baklava to go. It turned out nicely -sweet but not drowning in honey. Next time we will try more of the appetizers and maybe have a few drinks - the menu for both was extensive. I look forward to our next visit to Columbus just to eat here again.
- Pros: Food, Service, Ambience
- Cons: Expensive

Good food. a nice restaurant. service could have been a bit quicker at first, but the food more than makes up for it. Not cheap, well not if you drink anyway.

Best Greek ever!!!!
by paranoidandroid23 at Citysearch
I am overjoyed to endorse this restaurant, the best hummus I have eaten outside of greece, wonderful baklava, and great music on saturday nights. If you come to columbus for any reason and like greek or are greek, you need to stop by and give it a try.........ask for James for the best service, his wine and menu suggestions eclipse that of most of the other servers
- Pros: service (James), excellent food, warm atmosphere
- Cons: music only on sat.
