Very nice restaurant, service is good, food is amazing! Lunch menu is diverse & well-priced.
Med Seabass with lemon potatoes was fantastic, Greek salad very fresh, & the owner is always present & look out for her guests.
I highly recommend this place for authentic, delicious Greek food!

If you follow me you know I love trying new restaurants.
I've only heard good things about Balos. Other reviewers were not wrong. The decor is beautiful & the greeting from the hostess was friendly with a big smile.
We were given a choice of window tables that had been reserved for us.
With a large variety of cuisine, it took some time to decide on what to order.
We started with 2 different salads that we shared between 4 adults; Horatio (classic Greek salad) & the Mixed Salad with Avocado. Both were delicious.
I ordered the Fried Calamari which was accompanied by steamed veggies & roasted Greek potatoes. The calamari was crispy on the outside & tender on the inside. The veggies were cooked to perfection & the potatoes were outstanding. My husband had the Grilled Chicken Fillets with also had the veggies & potatoes. The chicken breasts were well cooked yet remaining juicy on the inside. The other couple shared a whole Chilean Seabass with the same veggies & potatoes. They loved it. I found that the fish was very thin but looked very nice.
Wow! The portion sizes are really big, except for the fish, & everything was delicious. Really delicious.
Sorry, but there was no room for dessert.
Will I go back? Absolutely!

Pretty place, nice atmosphere. Waitress was excellent & provided great wine recommendations. Food was pretty mediocre though. The fried calamari was very basic for that price. Served with the typical marinara sauce. Not super crispy or seasoned. The sea bass was alright but overpriced for what it was. Side vegetables (carrots, broccoli, & two others) were just boiled, no seasoning. Boiled potatoes were well seasoned at least. Complimentary walnut cake was dry, didn't really seem fresh at all.

Our group enjoyed our dinner & experience at Balos. The fried, stuffed calamari were great, along with their roasted potatoes. The grilled shrimp were large but slightly overdone & so a bit tough. Service was very attentive, although not personal (maybe some people appreciate a more distant service approach). Good atmosphere & tablets settings.

It was good, but a bit overhyped by friends who had been there before. One meal (server recommended) was inedible. But the veggies & potatoes were ok. I would give 3 1/2 stars if it was available.
