    Let me just say I was extremely skeptical when I first walked in because it was a total ghost town. No music and an empty dining room... I had no idea what was going on. However, once seated our server was extremely friendly and the food was good. He even turned the music on for us and boom! No more awkwardness. You really can't beat their bottomless brunch deal on Groupon. Gets you drunk. Would recommend.

    This review is only based on happy hour but there's plenty to rave about there. HH every day of the week from 3-9pm!!!! Amazing! I enjoyed a glass of sangria and a very nice apple bourbon cocktail. The food was awesome too. The octopus and grilled calamari were cooked right and well seasoned. The taziki dip is delicious. We also tried the baklava (not on the HH menu) and it was amazing! I am excited to go back!

    Wonderful food, service, atmosphere, and experience. We started with the Spanakopita and Prasini, had Paidakia and Natural Chicken for the main course, and finished with Baklavas and Greek yogurt. The food was truly outstanding. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening out at Kellari Taverna.

    Beautiful spacious restaurant and with nice ambiance. More of a 3.5. Service staff was minimal but efficient. We noticed one server waited on most of the tables plus additional staff filling our water and assisting the server. They were efficient and still service with a smile. Portions were generous and seafood was fresh... did I say generous portions? Spanakopita-was a little well done. Natural chicken- chicken was a little dry, mashed potatoes were good. Seafood grill- generous portions of calamari, shrimp and octopus. Would have been better served as an appetizer to share with a group since it doesn't come with sides and so much of it. Brussel sprouts- tasty but a little mushy. The place appears upscale and prices reflect that but I was confused with the paper napkins. Overall it's a nice place for seafood, drinks and service.
