"We ordered the mixed chef menu. Two of the items were not available...no discount and no items offered to replace them. In fact, the waitress did not even mention the missing items until I inquired about them...at that point I was informed they were out of the dish. Why would they offer the chef menu at 5:30 knowing two of the items were not available? The other thing I did not like: all of the items were brought to the items were delivered to the table at same time (less than 5 minutes after the order was placed). Which indicates the items were precooked and waiting to be served. We had appetizers, cold spreads, salads, and entrees all on the table at once...what a mess. I must say the hummus was good..all other items below average."

"Maria was our server, and she was wonderful-- I brought a friend here for their birthday and she brought him a birthday drink and cake-- I just wish the "Friday night" ambiance had been better- there was one bellydancer, she only danced for a minute or two and gave up. It wasn't as festive as I hoped for."

"The evening was a great delight; our server and the rest of the staff were extremely helpful and keep the atmosphere lively. The food is good and the portion can be somewhat large depending on what is ordered. Dinner must be aware that occasionally napkins are tossed in the air as you hear "Opa" proclaimed. There is a festive feeling about the restaurant."

"This was yet another visit to our very favorite Greek restaurant anywhere in the U.S. On this occasion, we sat out on the tented patio in the late afternoon. Because of the hour, most of the diners on this visit were families. As is almost always the case, the large portion of food was outstanding. Complimentary hummus spread is always served with pita and, if you like garlic as we do, is exceptionally tasty. On this occasion we both had the gyro plate which is comprised of a generous portion of meat on the bed of pita slices with sauce, a large portion of salad and Greek fries. I had the crumbled feta cheese topping, which was provided at no additional charge. Our server (Foozi) was personable and very attentive."

"As always, generous portions of great Greek food. And, our server-Dimetri-added high-energy excitement to the whole experience livening up the early evening atmosphere when we were initially among only two or three seated tables. Later, we were entertained by yet another beautiful, talented belly dancer. Disappointingly, we were told we couldn't use a Half Off voucher on Valentines Day when there was no printed notice that was a restriction."

"This place is crazy - over the top. As far as Greek food goes, it was all pretty good, authentic. But the thing about this place is the place itself! The waiters are crazy. The belly dancers are unreal. The whole experience was a blast! If you want to laugh, and experience a wild atmosphere, this is the spot for you."

"We love Taverna Plaka and go there a lot. It was particularly hopping the night we were there. The music is always on the loud side, but that night it was really too loud. Always good fun, though. Love the belly dancers!!!"
