Apollon

I had the fillet with chocolate sauce - it was wonderful. Belgians make the best steaks bar none and that was brought to the table here.

Started with the flaming cheese which was excellent.

Yummy cocktails.

Overall great.

Apollon

Apollon was a fantastic experience!

To start - the hospitality was great. We went on a Thursday night, made a reservation in advance (not necessary), and were seated immediately.

The restaurant was quite full. Our waiter was fantastic. Walked us through the menu, was not rushing us in anyway, and made great recommendations.

I was with two others and we were quite hungry. An appetizer would have been great, but we did not choose one.

The entrees come with a soup and salad. The soup is a mainly broth and a little lemony . It was very good. The salad was the perfect size and was fantastic with the two dressings.

My entree was the Mixed Grille (incredible) and the other dishes were the shrimp Santorini and the chicken roulade espanaki.

These were the perfect size where you were full and no food went to waste!

The flavors were amazing, the prices were solid, and the atmosphere was cute!

Definitely will come back!

This place so deserves its top rating. We had made reservations well in advance- a must for a Saturday night. I explained that I was in a wheelchair and might need assistance. When we arrived we were greeted by Kelly who was very accommodating and helpful. They had a well located table for us so I could be comfortable. We started with a Greek rise wine which was very nice. We were offered a taste to make sure we liked it. Everything on the menu sounded fantastic, but my husband already knew his favorite dish- lamb a la creme. I had the triumph of the sea which had salmon, scallops and shrimp. Both fishes were outstanding and also came with a delicious Greek lemon soup and a salad with creamy feta and red wine dressing. Still one of our favorite restaurants after coming for many years.

This restaurant is one we use for special occasions when we don't mind splurging. The Greek / Mediterranean style food is absolutely wonderful. Service is top notch. Ambience is intimate in spite of being completely filled up.

Based on Yelp reviews, my wife and I were excited to eat at the Apollon prior to a PAC show. The location, just a few blocks from the PAC, was ideal.

The Good: The service was outstanding. The wait staff is knowledgable, helpful, and unobtrusive. Waitress at our table was able to recite ingredients and preparation method, and was prompt when we needed/wanted something, but stayed out of the way.

Note - the restaurant will tell you that this is a dining experience that will last two to 2 1/2 hours, so if you want fast dining, this is not the place. But who would want fast dining when you can share good food and good company.

The Bad. The food was very uneven.

For the appetizer, my I ordered the Spanakopitakia, and wife ordered the Saganaki. The Saganaki was flamed at the table (did I mention great service!) and was good (as anticipated. The Spanakopitakia (miniature spinich pies) was ok, but only ok. While traditionally (and in the description) the filling is spinich with feta cheese, the feta was either well hidden (to the point that it could not be tasted), or was missing. Either way, this was quite a disappointment.

The soup that came with the meal was salty to the point that it overpowered the soup. One taste was enough to know that someone was not tasting the soup before it came out.

The salad that came with the meal was simple and carelessly thrown together.

For the entre, my wife ordered the Moussaka. This was expected to be flavorful and we were excited to try it. The Moussaka was bland to the point of being unedible. We asked to have the chef check the flavor profile, and never heard back. It was truly a terrible approximation of Moussaka.

On the other hand, my Lamb Chateaubriand Forestiére was excellent. Cooked perfectly to order, the sauce was flavorful and delicious. There were only a few mushrooms (I prefer more, but this may be the intended style), but the meal was delicious. On the other hand, it is quite difficult to mess up a broiled loin of lamb.


The real disappointment is that it appears that the chef was too busy or could not be bothered to taste the food before it was sent out. There is no chef in a good restaurant who would have sent out a soup where all ingredients are hidden by overpowering salt taste, or a moussaka that was so bland that no flavors could be tasted at all. (Think - nursing home bland). Would that we could have magically moved some of the salt of the soup to the Moussaka, but it was not to be.

It was too bad that the food did not match the attentive and friendly service personnel. We shall not return.

Every time we go to the apollon is it amazing. Their soup they serve with the meal is my absolute favorite. Their service has always been exceptional. We will be returning.

The service was great and the food was pretty good. The environment was cozy but also tight so it wasn't exactly comfortable or made you feel like you could have a private conversation.

I am giving a 3 star rating only because last night was the 3rd time I have made a reservation for a specific table and did not received table requested. I made last nights reservation a month earlier and called to confirmed this week. Not only did they not have my reservation when I told the manager all she said was oh well it was a busy week with Valentines Day and walked away. We did get a table but was disappointed in our greeting and location of table in a busy area back by the bar. The food and service is great but don't bother making a reservation if they have room they will but you where they want.

Food and service were outstanding. It's a pricey place, but we knew that and it was a special occasion. Very good!

Quiet for a Wednesday. Meticulous service. So professional. Had stuffed flounder, generous portion, a bit bland. Love how the server explains each course.

I've eaten at many Greek Restaurants throughout the USA and to me, this one has the BEST food! Go out of your way for this place. You won't be disappointed.
