Greek Islands Grill
Owners Agie Ziotis and Christina Xenohristos invite you to get lost in a labyrinth of traditional Greek dishes with a twist. Submit to the Siren song of fresh flounder stuffed with spinach and feta cheese, or be thunderstruck by the Lamb Giouvetsi -- oven-baked and served over orzo in a red sauce. Then, wash down an a-meze-ing mix of appetizers with a glass of Kourtaki Retsina while listening to live Greek music on Thursday nights.

"We get carry out frequently from Greek Islands, and this was the last time we'll eat here. The noise level was a din. There were at least four infants at various tables, all screaming and out of control.
We waited 15 minutes for our server (?) to appear. She must be related to the owners, as there is no other way to explain her having a job. She was nasty, abrupt, inept and uncaring, until the end of the meal, when she became solicitous of a tip. In some deference to her, the restaurant is badly understaffed.

The chicken souvlaki was good. The gyro platter tasted like left over dog food. Fish was decent. Wine list poor, but expensive
Save the time and money - skip this place"

"Enjoyed the food and the service was good, but there was an issue when paying the bill. Used an OpenTable reservation and also had an on-line discount coupon. Management refused the coupon stating that OpenTable policy supports their position of not accepting discount coupons when also using an OpenTable reservation.
OpenTable rules allow for additional coupons if it is a 100 Award Point reservation. That does not apply if it is a 1.000 Point Award. Forwarded the rules to the restaurant, but they declined to answer."

"Arrive hungry. Start with the savory appetizers - Greek Spread Combo (Hummus, Tarama, Tzatziki and Skordalia with warm pita bread), Cheese Saganaki (they set the cheese on fire at the table!), Dolmades (stuffed grape leaves). My husband's favorite is the Avgolemono soup (lemony goodness). My favorite is the Spanakopita (phyllo is perfect). My best friend's favorite is the Mousaka (choice of beef or veggie). Vegetarians have many delicious choices. Try the Retsina by the glass or carafe. If someone at the table is not fond of Greek food (what?), there are Italian and seafood options as well. The staff is friendly and welcoming."

"We tried this restaurant because we had a groupon and even though there are no restrictions stated on the groupon, they would not take it because we used open table. The food was great, and we will be back to use the groupon, but we felt that was unfair because it did not state that restriction."

"This is one of our favorite restaurants. We decided to go here for Valentine's day instead of a place downtown that was way more expensive and had shakey reviews. Cancelled the reservation there and came here."
