Really lovely staff. Food was spot on. Grilled Calamari was delicious as was the lamb. Big portions and reasonable prices too. All of this means that even on a Monday people are queuing out the door! Would definitely recommend.

Previoulsy I've given Marina's a couple good reviews because I wanted to encourage folks to visit this little-known restaurant, and support a locally-owned business. However, after ownership changed hands, the quality of the experience declined considerablely, and the new owners aren't addressing the problems, but appear to be riding on the previous owner's reputation, at the expense of out-of-town visitors. When two friends joined us recently, we were surprised that the restaruant was cold, there was no background music, the single server was slow and harried, and when she did drop by there was no pleasant small talk, no mention of specials, simply, 'Hi, what would you like?' She never returned to ask how the appies were, or later how the meals were, or to ask if we wanted after-dinner drinks, coffee, or dessert. She just brought us the bill. The only exchange she shared with us was when she complained that one table had walked out between their appetizers and main meals, without saying anything or paying for anything, I think I can understand why. When we first sat down, a near-by tabkle warned us that we might not want to stay. Our meals were good and tasty with sufficiently-sized portions, but my wife's was only moderately warm. I decided to write this review for two reasons: 1. to tell the new owner that she/he appears to know how to rustle up a good meal, but he/she better pull up her/his socks and get serious about running a restaurant, or this business is going to be shutting down; and, 2. to warn people away from this place, watch subsequent reviews and if they don't improve, spend your $$$ elsewhere.

Attended a work dinner function recently and the food and service were great! I had a Greek Salad with no skimping on the Feta and good dressing. Appies were ordered for the group: spanokopita, hummus & pita, kalamari were all good. A variety of food was ordered by the group from Steak to Pasta and it all looked good and got rave reviews from our table. Highly recommended.

This restaurant had super cute decor and friendly prompt service. The menu however was pricey and the portions were small for the price. We both ordered donairs which were so disappointing. The only option was a combination of lamb and beef and as we both didn't want lamb, they seemingly left half the meat out. The donair was tasty a d the sauces good but it consisted if pita and lettuce primarily. For a price of 10$ with no side we were left disappointed a d ummm hungry. I don't reccomend it as the value and portions were poor.

First time trying this place. We stopped in about 7 pm on a Saturday. The restaurant was packed but we were seated right away. Super friendly and quick service. We ordered the bruschetta for an appetizer and chicken souvlaki for our mains. The bruschetta was served on garlic toast. It was good but a little salty for my taste. The chicken souvlaki was second to none. Cooked perfectly and seasoned beautifully. Chicken nicely browned and crispy on the outside, but still juicy inside not dry. Oven roasted potato was crisp and bursting with lemon herb flavor. The rice was the best I've eaten. No need for butter. Plus they make a pretty potent Pina colada..lol. Great food for a surprisingly low price. Highly recommend.
