had lunch here and thought to give it a try, well the restaurant is nice. However it had the smell of a smokey fireplace. Didn’t sit well with me for a greek restaurant. Food came in a appropriate time, however it was just not greek food. Rosemary chicken didn’t have any rosemary flavour. Lemon rice hardly any lemon flavour and tatziki sauce tasted like cucumber dressing? Left me wildly disappointed after reading all these great reviews. ?
I love going to Theo's and enjoying a nice cup of wine after a stressful day at the office. They're always really helpful and the customer service they provide is amazing.
