Came for a friends birthday and had a good time. Food was okay and ambience was even better. We had to wait a little for our table which was unpleasant, but our server was great. Fun place to celebrate with friends. Belly dancers came out and encouraged everyone to have a good time and dance. Energetic DJ and vibe. Good place to pregame before a club. Our food was on a personalized prefixed menu that was picked out before. Drinks were good and strong
Whether this is your pregame dinner at 8:30 or the night plan for a 10:00pm dinner, vibes are elite! Loved the DJ playing all night, and who can forget the sparklers and belly dancer!! The food came out quick and portions were large, so come hungry and ready to party! Pro tip! If you are looking for the peak party time, opt for a later dinner reservations as the vibes get better and better the later it gets
Great live experience. Service was very quick. Drinks were a bit light. Perfect for large parties and birthday celebrations. If you aren't into a lot of music while you eat, this isn't the replace for you.
Came to celebrate girl friend's birthday. Was large group and space was limited as we were in the back. Music was upbeat but wasn't mix variety in my opinion. Staff was friendly and engaging as the entertainment came around. I had sidecar drink from the speciality drink menu which was good. Our table had prefix menu that was family style for appetizers, entrees, sides, and desserts. Food was really good, well seasoned but took a while for the entrees to come out. I enjoyed the hummus and pita bread. Calamari had flavor and fried to perfection. Guest at my table said the squid was well seasoned and taste good but I didn't tried to confirm. Overall I like it
WOW ! This place was absolutely amazing ! From the service to the food everything was great. I definitely recommend coming for a birthday or celebration as it turns into a party after 10pm. Making a Reservation is ideal as well. Had so much fun dancing to Greek music and drinking blue margaritas. The octopus is a must try as well !
Ok let's talk about parking, there no parking on macdougal st but if you go in the evening you may be able to find a spot around the block, if not there is a parking garage near by 2 hours $36. This place has blue lighting and is great for photos. Walking in it doesn't appear to be a large space but there two front sections and a back section. Chios margarita I was told it's was good my friend ordered 2. The Shirley temple was nasty. The Greek spread was absolutely delicious with spicy feta being my favorite. Lamb chops were the right flavor and texture. Lavraki was ok needed something and the garlic mash was plain no salt and no garlic. Our waiter was cool and gave us some good insights on what to order.
I have to be honest, Pappas might be the only Mediterranean restaurant I have ever enjoyed . I dont particularly like the flavors of Mediterranean cuisine but Pappas was exceptional. Well first off we were late for out reservation and the staff accommodated us by swiftly seating one guest while the rest of us trickled in (this place was super crowded and completely overbooked by the way so seating us wasnt the easiest thing to do) So I appreciate the assistance. The place was loud. I mean the music is super loud, its not as big aa I wouldve liked but it worked . Drinks were good amd the lavraki with capers was delicious! I would totally return, even though its way too busy (maybe next time I will do lunch)
The ambiance is beautiful The music is popping The vibes are dressy The food is very well plated The appetizers were pretty yum The main courses were fair The service was friendly and attentive There were so many birthday celebrations throughout the night it was unbelievable. There was a belly dancer that went around and danced around the restaurant and with the guests which was fun. It's a nice place to go to with a group and take lots of pics and enjoy the live dj music. We ordered different things off of the appetizer menu such as the zucchini fritters, meatballs, hummus and pita, octopus, and crab cakes. For the main course we ordered the lobster pasta, chicken skewers, red snapper, hvbrakhi fish, and beet salad. We all shared the dishes which made it a fun tasting experience. It's a good place to celebrate and enjoy the vibes, the food can be better.
