The food here is pretty good and retains a lot of "Greekness" that seems to be lost in a lot of Greek places. The service I got at lunchtime was quick (though the place wasn't very busy). Go for the actual Greek dishes here and you won't be disappointed. Not especially cheap but worth it every once in a while.

We had a large party being served dinner and the atmosphere was great. The food was delicious - I had the grouper entree. Deserts were tasty and all in all a great dining experience. We would highly recommend trying this place.

This restaurant is on the pier with a nice view and food is excellent. I only had the crab cake appetizer but it was very good. My friend had a full dinner and he said it was also good. Price was typical for a good seafood restaurant.

No falafel or baba ganoush, but plenty of vegetarian options. The food was good, simple, and fresh. Great service and very clean. Nice to have a vegetarian option in Galveston!

I have eaten Greek all my life....being raised in Athens, and this food did not disappoint. The wait staff was attentive and gave great recommendations. Everything was fresh tasting. They have a good wine selection and the softest pita bread in town. The atmosphere was great. We loved eating outside watching all the boats going up and down the waterway.... More

I tell anyone who is visiting Galveston and this is one of the restaraunts at the top of the list of recommendations. Not only is it one of the best restaraunts in Galveston but it's the best Greek food you will find anywhere in the area. The service is good and it is pretty nice inside. The food is delicious...

After process of elimination our family of 5 went here and were pleasantly surprised. When we arrived it was early and no one else was there which made us suspicious, but it started to fill up as time progressed. Food was plentiful and good. Atmosphere was fine, could use some sprucing up - little things like real salt shakers instead... More

My husband and I tried this restaurant based on other Tripadvisor reviews. We went late in the afternoon on a weekday. About a third of the tables were full. The wait staff was prompt and helpful. We ordered the Olympia Platter and Yia Yia's Chicken Soup to split. I have to say that the pitas we had were some of... More
