“Really Good!”
The food and service were outstanding. There was a good variety on the wine list. The atmosphere was suitable for any social or romantic occasion. We shared multiple appetizers and a Greek salad. Our main courses were Mediterranean sea bass and black sea bass. Both were exceptional. Strongly recommended.

“Among the Best in Baltimore”
This is a small, Greek-owned, excellent restaurant in Fell's Point, Baltimore. Similar to what you'd find in Greece, the fish are presented on ice and a waiter explains the catch of the day. They offer a top-tier selection of fish. It is somewhat expensive, but well worth every penny.
