We have been visiting the area the past two weeks and have eaten here twice. The food is wonderful and the service is great. They take care with the food presentation and with every meal preparation.This is our new favorite place to eat when we visit again.

One of the best meals I've had in a long time. Highly recommend the short rib ravioli, as that was our favorite dish. Amazing flavors. The filet mignon kebab was also a standout. It was perfectly cooked.

Shout out to the staff as well! It was my grandma's birthday and they kindly gave a little baklava with a candle to make it special.

I really like the food here. I've been here before on previous visits to Bradenton. The service is usually pretty good. The food is always good. The prices are reasonable for what you get. This is definitely the place for gyros.

Great food, the service was awesome. The food was a bit overpriced. That is my only issue with going here. I probably wont be back soon because of the high prices of their dishes compared to the quality,and what you get.

Two weeks new at the Landings location the food and server are excellent. But while utensils shined inside the rolled napkin placed over the appetizer dish, 2 of the appetizer dishes had caked on food. I sent it back with server. Then my entree delicious placed on a white plate. Half through the meal I noticed a black hair on the dish. The owner, Ed, came to the table to apologize. Observing the dark-haired cooks, all wore ball caps and not a one had hair or beard nets to cover exposed hair and beards. For success of this delicious food restaurant, I suggest they equip their entire kitchen staff with hair and beard nets.

Very trendy place, but a bit on the noisy side. Live music, fusion jazz the night we were there. Grilled octopus was a delicious appetizer. Bread and dipping oil, butter and chopped olives was perfect. We all had lamb dishes and everyone loved it. We'll be back often.

High expectations, disappointing outcome. We waited 30 minutes for a seat after called to be seated we continued to wait for our drinks which the waitress was prompt to ask. But 20 minutes later to receive our drinks. and even longer for our meal. And receiving our meal before we ever got our appetizer, then asked if we would still like it? Then after receiving a complimentary dessert because we mentioned our disappointment, the manager said she'd comp our drinks but then changed her mind once she realized the dessert was free.

The atmosphere is great, warm lighting, cozy and clean. Are server was slow, didn't stop at the table often. My husband order the steak , it was very fatty and not cooked to order. I ordered the special and was brought a different meal. Not to mention we waited almost an hour for our food. Middle of the road on this restaurant.

This was the best place I ve tasted in a while, the food was excellent & delicious! The presentation was just outstanding the way it came out made my jaw drop. Our server was very pleasant and made me feel like I was at home , knew what to give me before I even asked that s the kind of service I was looking for, always one step ahead. The restaurant over all was beautiful inside and the owner did a great job at everything. I can see the way he wants to run his restaurant!

Came here for the first time and won t be back. We were seated right away which was nice but after waiting for 10 minutes and no waiter acknowledging our presence we just walked out. Poor service.

Found this solid Greek/Med spot while shopping. Fresh hot bread made the short wait seem like nothing. A very fresh seared Tuna was star of my mixed grill, surprisingly. though the Gyro and Chicken skewers were fine, too. Both of our meals included fresh vegetables that were cooked to just tender with a nice bite. Wife's shrimp was very fresh and tasty. She raved about the orzo with gorganzola and spinach... very creamy and quite tasty. Enjoyed the happy hour discount on draft beers, including local micro-brews from Motorworks. All of this custom prepared in just half an hour. Would go back to try other entrees.

When we're visiting friends in Sarasota, Florida we all like going out to dinner at least one night. So we like finding new and interesting places to explore.

The cocktails are awesome. They have an excellent menu selection.

The customer service was outstanding.

We had a fantastic dining experience. Everyone enjoyed the atmosphere and quality of the food. I would recommend this place and come back again.

My partner and I came to this restaurant today and I'm stuck between a 3.5 and a 4 for a few reasons: The Positives: the entrees were well portioned (we left FULL), the food quality was spot on (the gyro meat was awesome!), and the happy hour drinks were hard and refreshing, The Negatives: the shrimp entree was way overpriced for the amount served but admittedly it tasted great, the chicken for my entree was kind of bland aside from the grill taste, and we did have to play the "where's our waiter?" game a few times. I can't give a fair shake on this place yet as I see that the octopus appetizer and calamari are far more generously portioned, and I would like to try more of the classic greek dishes !

I must tell all who read this review, you know when your not sure if the first time going to a place whether the food is good or not, but after reading another review, this place is very good, if not excellent, everyone has different tastes but when it is fresh and stays this way then you have a great experience and great service to Irene

I had the mixed grill with shrimp, gyro, and ahi tuna. Substituted risotto for the potatoes and it was FABULOUS! The meat and seafood was cooked to perfection. I was in a group of 7 and got to taste several different entrees-all of them were very good. Chelsie was our server and she was delightful!

Everything about this place was amazing. The food was outstanding. The soup was awesome. Even the lemonade was great and it's only Minute Maid. They make the soup from scratch everyday. The gyro was awesome. My son loved the kids spaghetti and meatballs. We will definitely be back.

Had a wonderful dining experience last night! Sam our server was fantastic and the bartender made an excellent wine choice for me based on the flavors I like. If you are up at The UTC area shopping I highly recommend stopping in for a bite to eat. Prices are very good and the portions are plentiful. Will be back soon!!
