A charming little place with nice decor and friendly staff. If you can, get a table in the raised section with couches and low tables. It's not as convenient as the regular tables, but the ambiance is much better, and it's more relaxed. The menu is okay, and the food is fairly good. It's on the pricier side of Middle Eastern, but still moderate. Worth a visit, definitely.

Cramped tables stuffed alongside a grocery don't give you the best first impression. But give it a chance. The food is tasty! Pretty much the whole menu is worth sampling, and I've had just about everything over the years. Even if you're stuffed, take some baklava home with you. It's the best I've ever eaten.

And don't forget the grocery while you're there. They have bulk spices, cheap. And many things difficult to find elsewhere.

More than a Greek restaurant: it's a Greek Experience. Belly dancing, live Greek music, good food, and lots of Greeks make Baccnanal loads of fun!

Expect to see all your favorites on the menu, and to have them prepared well. Occasionally the service gets a little spotty when they're busy, but it's easy to forgive.

Great food, formal waiters. Everything I've tried has been delicious. If you want a quiet table and great fare then this is the place.
