Ambience & Location - Incredible Decor! A truly authentic experience. They make you feel as if you're in Greece. The details and "at home" feel make you want to stay longer. From a farm table for group dining to greek language lessons being played in the adorable bathrooms they've made sure to include everything! I would go back just for the decor. Well Done...
Staff & Service - Most of the servers and staff are originally from Greece. This is a family owned business and you can feel it. The service was excellent. Our server helped us find and understand items, they made us feel that they cared and were not just trying to sell us more. He knew the menu and was helpful in descriptions. MAKE A RESERVATION! Parking in St. Armands is everywhere...just pray for a good spot and cross your fingers! They are located next to the "Pepper Palace" shop.
Food - Amazing! The food was authentic and fresh. I've yet to find a better greek restaurant in the area. The sea salt seasoned pita and homemade tzatziki were a must try. They offer a wide variety for individuals and for groups to do more of a family style. I would say this is a date night, girls night or friends night out atmosphere. Older kids would be fine but leave the "littles" at home.
Blu Kouzina = ABSOLUTE MUST rating!
