    Super tasty lunch. Excellent service. Only comment really would be to update the chairs to something comfortable - the old padded ones in the inside are pretty much past their sell by and need to be reupholstered. The hard chairs outside are impossible to sit on with any level of comfort for any time, some sort of cushion is required. Otherwise, this is a great local restaurant and fantastic to see it so busy and doing so well. Definitely recommend.

    We had a wonderful birthday celebration at the fire, gifted with an authentic plate with birthday wishes! Food was delicious.

    Of course — here’s the updated version: A birthday by the fire with good Greek food, that’s exactly the kind of celebration we love being part of.

    We have always enjoyed coming to Filotimo. Last night the service was unusually slow but we still enjoyed ourselves. We have noticed it becoming more pricey though. The food is still very tasty.
