Took my Mrs there for an early anniversary supper. The food was very good, As well the service was great. Very importantly we found the place to be kept very clean. Having grown up in the restaurant industry this is a very good indicator on how the restaurant is. The Decor though could use improvement as it is more like a family restaurant or lunch type diner than a fine food establishment but I am sure this will come.

I had their traditional gyros. It was fantastic!! My friend who owns a mechanic shop recommended to go there for lunch. I'm glad we did! Fast & friendly service. Portions are also big. Worth the money !

I had to edit this review as a lot of things I had originally posted became outdated after a month. (I was here more than once in that month since I did enjoy it) So this is an amalgamated review.

I debated between 3 and 4 on this visit, but ultimately went with a 4. The service was fine on this visit from our server. She took direction but not initiative. The food is generally good. I'm still waiting to find that dish that I have fall in love with and crave all the time.

It didn't start out well. They had a water issue, which was the same water issue that was there from a month before that I guess is still not resolved. The water is yellow. They could not serve tap water or make tea. If tea, hot water, etc is important to you, you are out of luck.

On this visit, I had brought a group of people from out of town to try Helios. Originally they had platters which were priced well for their assortment of items to try. We were told they no longer have them. They were meant for customers to try everything and get a taste of the food, but since they have been here long enough, they felt it was no longer necessary. We were disappointed to hear that as it made for great presentation and was nice to have a sampling.

Portion sizes are large for everything.

When we went originally there seemed to be 3 sizes for salads. Half salad is not the same as a starter. (Pictures below show the difference). We used the Pellegrino can to help show size. However I am unsure if they changed that since.

We went for lunch this time (the other times it was dinner)
If you order the fries with fish expect a lot of fries and only a little fish. The full serving of calamari I felt was not as good as the side that you add to your meal. Its almost the same in value, but half portions often cost more. So if you do want all that calamari go ahead, but half portions are equally fine.
The slouvaki lunches seemed to be the best value and looked well balanced.
The caviar dip this time was not as good as the first time we tried it.
Highlights was flaming cheese because... Flames. The pan is larger where the cheese is a smaller piece in the center. It comes served with pita bread.
There was a lot of dressing on our half salad and a more moderate amount (I preferred this one) on our starter, which makes me feel it can be inconsistent.

Service is standard. Some are better than others. They usually did not go out of their way, but they were friendly and did their job.
I feel like the pricing is fair for what you get.
I appreciated everything came out piping hot.

First time eating here, and I was very satisfied with the experience. The two appetizers (calamari and deep fried zucchini) were served hot to our table and tasted freshly breaded. The Greek salad and garlic bread as starters were very tasty and good portion. Greek salad only had 2 black olives, but I didn't mind because I don't like them myself. The feta wasn't quite the best to me but still good.

The entrees (pork tenderloin skewers, and stuffed pepper) arrived at our table after a short wait and we're hot. The meals themselves were very tasty. The lemon potatoes were very good and a nice bite. The tenderloin was very tangy and super tender.

Overall it's a premium meal at a premium price that's well earned. We ordered 2 entrees, 2 appetizers, and a drink each and the total was 84$. Or 42$ a person. Not bad considering the quality and quantity of food we recieved. Would definitely come again, next time I'm looking for a premium dining experience.
