What User likes about Orestes Greek Kouzina:
This restaurant is a gem! Had the best meal of our trip. I only wish I could transplant it to my city! Such good food and service. Has air conditioning which on a 97 degree day was very pleasant. The food was delicious, and dessert was amazing. View all feedback.
