Come savor an appetizing creation at Naxos Grill & Bar. They are open nightly all week. You can get there by car. The neighboring location is memorable for its merchants. You may pay by American Express, MasterCard and Visa.
It was my parents' anniversary, and so my grandmother decided to treat us all to dinner. After an entire day of not making a decision, they settled on Naxos, a restaurant I have been a fan of since first going there a year ago.
A little backstory: my friends and I have made Naxos our regular spot to go every Friday night. There's usually a group of 6 of us, but sometimes there can be up to 12 or so. Since we started coming there, we have been made to feel like we are truly valued customers, and have become fast friends with the owner and much of the staff.
Back to the anniversary dinner. Upon walking in, we were immediately greeted and shown a table. It wasn't long before Penny, the owner, came by to say hello and fill us in on the specials. She took extra care with my grandmother, who is very hard of hearing. She also informed us that as it was my parents' anniversary, she would be paying for our appetizers (bruschetta and saganaki) as well as some bread.
The atmosphere is always great at Naxos. The combination of the lighting and the art (both local and Greek) provides a nice setting, and the place is never too noisy. The music that plays on the speakers is an eclectic playlist which combines top 40 pop, classic rock, and world music. Everyone at the table commented on how varied and awesome it was.
Then there's the food. The prices, to me, are about average for a nice restaurant, and cheaper than some. But you do not go home hungry. The meals are always hefty, and I have never been disappointed with one yet. My favourite so far has been the Seafood Marinara, which is a pasta dish with seafood, of course, and it is well worth the price.
Nobody at my table left unsatisfied with their meals, or the service. Several times throughout the evening, the waiter and/or Penny came by to check on us, but made it feel like more than just a server refilling drinks, instead making us feel among friends. Five stars for Naxos, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a great restaurant with a unique menu.
PS As an aside, I feel the need to specifically recommend the Saganaki appetizer. Try it, you'll love it, and especially the method in which it's served. OPA!
Extra for rye toast? Unbelievable. Not impressed with the expensive breakfast. Don't ask for substitutions here. Not very friendly at all. Nothing special about the food. Not a favourite place due to the high cost for breakfast. Never been there for lunch or supper...not interested really. We go there about once a year to have the all expensive persian french toast.
My Wife and I thought we would try Naxos, Having heard good things. Unfortunately, Our Male Server was the Worst Server we have ever Encountered EVER.... 5 minute wait for your server to aknowledge your presence at the start should have tipped us off. But it got worse.
In fact the people across from us with the same server got up and left. 1 hr 45 min for 2 people is rediculous. I privately and politely complained to the Co Owner and She just tried to defend her employee stating we were his first complaint. Now I am here typing out a bad review. We were kept waiting between servings far too long. I normally would never complain but the food is Great and I may go back... Just wish the owner showed us she wanted our business again with a small discount or free apps for our next visit...., instead of a Hollow Apology. Should we go back????
Delicious food, the service was amazing. I was very impressed with the experience here. The owner stopped by each table and chatted with us all. We were there on the busy graduation weekend in May. We were not sure if they would have a table, but they did! Will definitely go back.
Very fun drink menu too..
and the deserts... delicious.
We visit Naxo's about 5-6 times a year. We have been going since they opened. The food is always consistant (very good) and so is the service. Penny (the Owner) always comes by to make sure of that. Prices are good, and if your lucky you can catch a bit of Greek dancing where they smash dishes on the floor! One of our favourite restaurants.
