George "the Gyro Genius" Giannaris will make you a memorable and delicious meal. My wife and I ordered the Grape Leaves, open Gyro, and Greek Salad. The Grape Leaves were as good as the ones we recently ate on a trip to Greece -- teeming with flavor with subtle hints of meat taste. The salad was amazing with bright red tomatoes, fresh produce, and copious amounts of feta and a great house dressing. The Gyro was well.....in a word...PERFECT! This was our first time and it certainly won't be out last.

Simply the best dinner experience I’ve had in ages. The food was the best Greek food I’ve ever had, our waitress was perfect, the atmosphere relaxing and well done. I’d rate it a 10 if I could!!

Sunday to Sunday in row!!! Food taste, indoor and outdoor seating arrangements which is beyond imagination until you tried yourself. Don’t let it go this place, you don’t know what are you missing. Will be keep updating this review as I just tried two different items from their menu. Made it for another Sunday, this time for B’fast.

By chance we stopped in for lunch. Had the good fortune to meet Mike,George, Yuba and Heidi. Friendly atmosphere with a great menu. Wife had stripped bass and well I had an old standby, a burger which was perfect. Humus appetizer and a couple of corona. Just a lovely place. Check it out for yourself. You will be glad you did.

George and his family hosted me and my family for the dinner following my mother's Celebration of Life. My mom and our family shared many happy meals at the Hellenic, and it so it was the perfect location to host those who attended her Celebration. George, Maria and their team took great care of my family and the friends of my mom. The food was excellent, the service was attentive and everyone who attended was very pleased and comfortable. Thank you, George, Maria and the great staff of the Hellenic for making a very difficult day for my family the best that it could possibly be. We are all very thankful. Sincerely, Chris

Love the food here. It’s pricey, but so delicious and nutritious that it’s worth it! The power bowl is our favorite. My husband gets it with chicken, lamb or salmon and I get it with falafel and it’s just so good. The house-made lemonade is the absolute best lemonade ever.
