Nice after work place to gather  4 Star Rating - Very good

Was very pleased when a friend suggested meeting here for a light dinne and drinks after work. Delicious appetizers - plentiful enough for two to share. Drinks were great and so was the service. Had a good time.

Fabulous Greek Food 5 Star Rating - World class

I love this place! Amazing assortment of delicious dishes...easy to share and perfect for a date or a group of girlfriends out for dinner. I love the olive, cheese, and pita assortment each table receives when you first sit down. And the cookies (also on the house) that you get once you pay the bill are amazing! The honey one is my fave ;)

Pros: Location, "on the house" cookies, menu selection

Great Place! 5 Star Rating - World class

I hate when users write in all CAPS like the below. Anyway, I've been to this location with coworkers a few times, and as a group we've always had great service. However, the main reason we continue to go back is because of the delicious Greek food and well made drinks. The atmosphere is nice as is the entire staff. Highly recommended!

Pros: Service, Greek Food, Drinks, Atmosphere

NOT WORTH IT 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

AS A REGULAR FRIDAY NIGHT CUSTOMER I HAVE SEEN THE DECLINING QUALITY IN FOOD AND SERVICE. THEY ARE OVERWHELMED BY GROUPS, DISORGANIZED AT BEST. I ASKED FOUR TIMES FOR A DRINK AND FINALLY WENT TO THE BAR TO GET IT MYSELF. STARTED WITH GREEK APPETIZERS. KEFTEDES(MEATBALLS) WERE SALTY AND SOUR. GRILLED CALAMARI TURNED OUT AS SAUTEED AND FISHY TASTING, THE MIXED SPREADS(PIKILIA) WERE SKIMPY AND NOT UP TO PAR. BY THEN WE DECIDED NOT TO ORDER THE MAIN DISHES.
FOR THOSE KNOWING GREEK FOOD THE PLACE IS NOT GOOD. THIS IS GETTING WORSE. WE HAVE BEEN THERE QUITE A FEW FRIDAY NIGHTS, WHILE THE ATTRACTION IS THE FRIDAY NIGHT LIVE MUSIC, WE ALSO EXPECT GOOD FOOD AND SERVICE FOR THEIR PRICEY TAB. WILL TRY IT ONE LAST TIME.

Pros: INVITING ATMOSPHERE
Cons: BAD SERVICE AND MEDIOCRE FOOD.

Wonderful Service and Food 5 Star Rating - World class

I can't say enough great things about Kellari's Parea - I organized a 25+ person (including kids) lunch party which was flawless thanks to the wonderfully caring and attentive staff. I couldn't have asked for a better event. The food was delicious and the service was thoughtful. In addition to the perfect meal and service, the space is lovely - airy and gorgeous and on the weekends, they have live jazz. I recommend it for large an small groups - great food, very good value, a lovely experience. I couldn't have imagined a more perfect way to celebrate my birthday.

Pros: Food, Ambience and Service

horrible service food just ok 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

We had a female waitress on sat nite. She was horrible. Forgot to put our order in. Messed up our drinks twice. Truly an amatuer! When the food arrived, it arrived at different times and was cold. Must have been sitting around for a while. We truly hated this place.

Pros: nice room
Cons: bad food/service
