We stopped for lunch and were able to sit outside in December. We each had the combination plate and enjoyed the different flavors very much. Moderately priced and a very busy, popular place. Dog friendly.

Went for a wander on Shattuck Ave and this place appealed from the outside. Glad we went in because it had the best oysters I've eaten in America. I also loved the really fresh gazpacho. I wouldn't normally try wine from Croatia but had a great night where everything we tried was good stuff so I started to trust the menu and sure enough Croatian wine is also good stuff - who knew! The only minor downside was that the restaurant got a bit noisy as it filled up. Overall though there was a great vibe as the place filled with sun into the evening.

Visited this tapas bar-restaurant late in the evening seating around 9:45. Various items were mixed temperatures and there was an inconsistency about food. Patatas Bravas were alternately hot inside and cold, which seemed odd as the potato pieces were fairly uniformly fried. Croquettes were over priced at $3.50 each. Lamb sliders were excellent, Meatballs were very good, paella was oily and had to be sent back for refire as we asked for crunchy bottom but got nowhere near what we wanted. Sangria was made from a harsh and angular wine, so wasnât to my vinous tastes for sangria. Doesnât need to be sweet but shouldnât be this, either. Great young waiter was celebrated by staff openly for his birthday, which was appreciated by all present.

Four of us stopped here for dinner on a Saturday evening. Even though we were early enough to beat the crowd, the staff seemed a little overwhelmed. Two of us ordered bowls of Avgolemono soup, which they said was so-so. One of us had Lamb Souvlaki, which he said wasn't the best, The rest of us had Chicken Souvlaki, which was made with breast meat, and came with rice, grilled vegetables and pita. While none of us raved about the food, we all cleaned our plates. Even though we were promised water refills by two people, none was brought. A good, but not great Greek restaurant.
