Wow, went on a Sunday night no reso but seated right away. More of us showed up and the server graciously moved us to a bigger table. The place is tiny. Rest of the night just absolutely awesome service. The mixed meze platter is a great deal--you get to try many items--enough food for 4 who then had to consider how much room was left for more. We shared the brussel sprouts, octopus and grilled tiger prawns. All were excellent. I would not hesitate to get the exact same meal but would need at least 4 of us to eat all of that delicious food. The prices are very good--especially for SF. We will go there again and again

This is the perfect spot for a cozy and romantic date night before a show at the Masonic. We shared the mixed grill plate and it was more than enough meat for two people -- would highly recommend this plate, as you can try four different types of meat, including the keftedes, adana, lamb, and chicken. It only comes with a single serving of rice though, so if splitting between two you may want to order an additional side. My personal favorite meat was the lamb brochette, though everything was seasoned well and tasted great. The real star of the meal, however, was the warm grape leaves appetizer, with rice and tzatziki sauce that packed a ton of flavor. Don't forget to squeeze the lemon on top! We ordered the melitzano puree as well (it comes with pita bread), but it was a bit bland and not as puréed as we expected (it wasn't the consistency of a dip). We'll skip this one next time and replace it with an order of that delicious tzatziki sauce! Excellent selection of wine, but be prepared that there's no beer or cocktails. The staff was extremely attentive and very kind -- they went out of their way to check in and brought us the food in time for our comedy show. A quick 10 minute walk after dinner (be prepared, it's uphill) and we were at the steps of the Masonic. This is definitely a restaurant to try if you're looking for something hearty yet romantic. We had no problem getting a table for two as a walk-in, and will definitely be back soon.

My awesome friend made a reservation here before we headed off to a comedy show. I'm glad he did because the place is small and got packed quick. Inside was clean and great place for friends to get together or a date. The service was great. The food was so good. The platter had a bit of all the appetizers. The pita that comes with it are like Doritos size chips. If you finish, they bring you more. I thought that was great because sometimes the pita bread is gone when you still have hummus and other dips leftover. I got the moussaka and it was probably one of the best I ever had! I'm not sure what type of cheese was on top but it was at least an inch thick. It was toasted/baked on top just right. The eggplant and sliced potato was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The tomato sauce was tasty as well. I will definitely get it again! My friend got the lamb skewers. Generally, I don't eat a lot of meat; nonetheless, lamb, but it was actually pretty good. I highly recommend and I'll definitely be back for the moussaka!
