    Another excellent lunch at Filotimo Greek Taverna! We enjoy sitting in the outside courtyard, it makes us feel as though we escaped to Greece! The service is warm and friendly and the food exceptional without breaking the budget! Highly recommended!

    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.

    Filotimo Greek Taverna responded on Mon 13 Jul 26:
    Thank you so much for this thoughtful and honest review. We’re very happy you enjoyed the lunch and service, and we truly appreciate your kind words about Filotimo being a great local restaurant. Your feedback about the chairs is fair and helpful — . Thank you for recommending us and for being part of the Filotimo table.
