“It was supposed to be a simple lunch. Tables outside, beautiful day, and no one else at the restaurant. Hmmm, that can't be a good sign! Well, whatever sign it was...the meal was amazing as well as the service. Started with "Feta Fries & Dolmades" for appetizers and split a "Souvlaki" order for the main course. The food was perfect and our server was so nice and accommodating. It really turned put to be a very pleasant and sumptuous lunch. I cannot wait to go back.”

The service was excellent! My friend ordered the special. salmon with delicious. vegetables the most delicious sautéed vegetables I have ever eaten since my visit to Greece.

“After having been to Greece for a 12 day vacation visiting Athens and a few islands, we have found a local restaurant that lives up to the excellent cuisine that comes from the Mediterranean. Love the food here. Our party of 10 left with 100% of us singing the praises of Chef Marc Cummings. Way to create several dishes that taste authentic to that side of the world. Can't wait to come back.”

“Tastes of Greece offers a rich, immersive cultural experience along with a vast array of epicurean delights! Upon entering, we were greeted warmly by a multi generational Greek family with live traditional Greek music playing on the Bouzouki in the background. After traveling to the Greek islands of Rhodes & Leros in 2022, we fell in love with the people, culture, and of course, the food! The Tastes of Greece food is spectacular, in both presentation and authenticity, from the pomegranate refresher, to the traditional horiatiki salad (no lettuce). We then enjoyed the Chef’s specials of chicken schnitzel, & cod fillet, which were both spectacular. We then ordered the dessert recommended by the owner and her Grandaughter, the galaktoboureko. We were told it would take 20 minutes to prepare, if we had the time. To say that warm custard dessert beautifully wrapped in phyllo was worth the wait would be an understatement! Everything we ate was exceptional and the warmth of Greek culture permeated the entire evening. What a lovely experience we had, far greater than we could have imagined. Tastes of Greece is a must for healthily prepared, exceptional & authentic Greek food!”
