Greek Islands Restaurant

GREAT experience!!!!  Thankful we made a reservation for a busy Saturday night!  Service was FANTASTIC, food was beyond amazing and it truly feels like you're visiting this family's personal dining room!  George circulates around the dining room and makes sure you're taken care of....and even gives good bye hugs and makes you feel like a true guest!

Can't WAIT to go back!!!  Fun to go with a group and pass plates around to get a taste of EVERYTHING.  Don't miss the Saganaki....OPA!!!!

We went to Greek Islands for their monthly Wine Dinner and it was superb! We really had a chance to get to know our table because there was such a large turnout, we were elbow to elbow. Our table was great, though. We all shared food and stories. The wines were wonderful, for the most part. There was only 1 I didn't care for at the end of our meal. We will definitely do this again. I love the Stergiopoulos family is wonderful and Angela is incredibly welcoming!

It was Saturday and they were slammed. There's no place to stand, save near diners, if you have/haven't-any reservations as you wait for a table. There's a small anteroom, but that's it.

The Greek Islands will remind you of better restaurants in GreekTown in Chicago. The food is consistently good, and not edgy. I had stuffed flounder and my date had the "Atlantikos Salmon". Both were very good. We also had an appetizer plate and the various bits were good, if bereft of sufficient pita slices to finish them off.

Sides were green beans, which are a Greek restaurant staple and cooked in the expected style, which, yes, is kind of like Kroger green beans in a tomato sauce, and they were fine. I had the rice as a side, and my date-- potatoes, both were fine.

For some reason, I inhaled the stuff flounder-- it was nicely done and delicious. The dessert baklava was a stain.... tough and not up to the standards of this place. The brother and sister that run this place make you feel like family. It gets crowded, and it's tough for them to manage overflow. Service was fast, however, and the denominator of food quality is usually pretty high.

Superlative? No. Really good though in traditional Greek fare. Vegetarians will find things they like, too.
