This spacious and welcoming restaurant boasts a warm, authentic atmosphere that perfectly complements its diverse menu, offering something to satisfy every palate from early morning through dinner.
Start your day with classic breakfast favorites that are lovingly prepared and generously portioned.

For vegetarians or those seeking something lighter, the Baked Spinach Pie with Greek salad provides a savory and satisfying option.
Seafood lovers are also well-catered for with expertly fried selections such as the golden Fried Fantail Shrimp and Fried Filet of Sole, or the impressive Fried Seafood Combo Platter, a generous assortment of sole, shrimp, scallops, and clam strips that meld together crisp textures and delicate flavors. To accompany your meal, the soup offerings like the Manhattan Clam Chowder or the rich, deeply flavored French Onion Soup au gratin create a comforting start or pairing, perfect for any time of day.
