    Let me just say this....

    I'm not one who posts reviews, however when you have a brilliant experience it must be shared.

    My fiancé and I were in town for the SETA conference, had lunch here the first day and the food was spectacular. We love Greek food and have been to Greece so let me tell you that this is the next best thing or maybe better. The cuisine is so authentic from the Tzatziki to the baklava and the experience was so good we went back a second time.

    The owner "Vasilis" came to our table and recommended what was to be one of the best food experiences of my life. Wow, bloody wow. Talk about a circus in your mouth :) This place is has it all.  

    The hospitality and customer service is top notch. Ouzo for dessert is a must and to top it off we got Photos with Vasilis at the end of the night outside the restaurant.

    Olympia Cafe is a must if you are in Savannah.
    They deliver on all levels. 3 thumbs up from me.

    I can't lie that I wasn't expecting much when we walked in.  In the middle of the tourist district, looking a bit sketchy.

    Boy were we pleasantly surprised!  Our server, Erin, was a pure joy and very knowledgeable.  She steered up towards the lamb chops and snapper.  The saganaki was amazing as well.  The portions weren't huge, but with an added appetizer it did the trick.  Overall everything was delicious.. would highly recommend!

    The Olympia Cafe is an excellent establishment. I was lucky enough to speak with the owner. He was extremely helpful and friendly to everyone and gave us several drink samples when I walked in pissed-off at that Crummy Warehouse Cafe. We ended up making 2 stops in 4 days and the prices are excellent !

    He gave us a couple of Tiramisu deserts to go when he figured out we were celebrating. They too were divine. I will go back

    Very disappointing, especially for the price. $17.50 for a Greek salad with chicken. The Greek dressing was a creamy dressing (I am used to the lighter kind with a lot of herbs). The iceberg Lettie didn't have any green to it. Tomatoes were fresh. If You love cheese, this salad has a TON of feta on it that was very fresh. The chicken wasn't anything special and not very much of it. Atmosphere inside needs to be updated. Lots of faux plants covered in dust. Bathrooms were clean but were extremely outdated. Food was a 3, price was a 2. Wish I could give it a 2.5. I'd recommend skipping this place

    My experience here was phenomenal!

    I stayed at the Marriott Riverfront with some coworkers as we were on a work trip in Savannah. One of my buddies met the bartender at the Marriott and told us that we should check out Olympia. She also suggested that we tell Voss (owner) that she sent us.

    When I got there, our group of seven was promptly seated and I asked the hostess where I could find Voss. She pointed to the kitchen and told me to walk right in the kitchen, lol. That was a first, but why not, right? The owner was in the back preparing something which I thought was super cool that he wasn't just standing around coaching.

    The food was legitimately incredible. Our server, Demetrius, was awesome. They comped us some appetizers and at the end of the meal, the owner came out and had shots, on the house, with our entire table. Multiple shots to be exact!

    I went with the chicken kebab dinner which was a safer bet. However, it was spectacular. Some of my coworkers went with the lightly deep fried grouper that was on special. I tasted it, and even as a true foodie, I can't say that I've ever had better fish. It was incredible!

    I highly recommend that you check out this place. I know that if I'm ever in the area again I will undoubtedly be going back!
