Restaurant has a modern decor & feel. Going in, you feel fancy with all the well dressed old-port patrons.
The musical was suttle & a good mix of alternative modern Greek tracks.
Service was great except for a few hiccups. Our wine selection was not available & suggested bottled were +20 or +25. Felt a bit intentional, but we went with it anyway since it was a special occasion. Suggested wine was good.
We had the salad Spanakopita (amazing!). I personally loved it since it dont like cooked spinach. Tyropita had an incredible cheese sauce which was unfortunately overpowered by the truffle oil. Had it been without the oil, itd be perfect. Brought it to the attention of the waitress who explained it's a'something you like or don't like...'. Anyway, the lamp skewer was incredible.
I'm a big hater of pastitsio but GOD that plate was good. Will definitely try to recreate it.
The dessert baklava was amazing. Was refreshing not to have to fight with layers of Phyllis & nuts for once.
Overall it's an incredible experience for Greek food lovers & non. I would recommend for anyone. Just be careful with the tyropita as the truffle oil did overpower any other flavo
Was excited to go here for a friend's birthday. Upon arrival, the Host was unkind & made us feel unwelcome. Service was kind but a bit slow on drinks. Tables around us got sparklers to celebrate birthdays but we were not given anything.
Was looking forward to a celebration that everyone raves about but it left a bad taste in our mouth. Probably won't return.

Une expérience vraiment au top.
Ambiance feutrée, classe mais pas m'as tu vu, un service au petit soin, le serveur, un amour.
& les plats....c'est rare mais un sans faute du cocktail au dessert.
Une expérience culinaire forte & intense.
Les prix sont un peu élevés, mais le service, la maîtrise des plats & l'authenticité grecque, vaut ces tarifs.
Loved everything about Mama C! The vibe, the decor, the music-just perfect. The food was 🔥! We had the Spanish salad, moussaka, & the freshest pita straight from the oven,& that mille-feuille with Greek coffee is a must 😋😋Definitely coming back 💙🤍

Amazing place with authentic Mediterranean food & excellent service. Food: all the meals were really delicious, with the star being the spanakopita salad, extraordinary. The main dish, lamb, was tender, seared to perfection, & served with a jus & thyme oil. The dessert, fantastic. All meals divided by 4 people, lots of food, great value. Left pretty full! Service: our server, Josh, fantastic & knowledgeable, attentive, & quick. Sommelier: great recommendations all through the night, definitely go with Geek wines. Atmosphere: really brings us back to Santorini. The ambiance, the music, the seating. Extremely well thought out layout. The bars are snazzy too. Overall: highly recommended, delicious fresh food & authentic options, excellent service & ambience. Will go back certainly to try the moussaka.
Had their lunch menu & it was great. I enjoyed the charred octopus & shrimp youvetsi. Orange cake was nice perhaps better in the summer, as it is very refreshing. Yiayia was a nice drink. Service from hostess & servers was friendly & efficient. I wish they had their own bathroom instead of relying on the hotel though. Nice decor.
La nourriture pour le brunch était délicieuse & vraiment savoureuse! Les portions étaient un peu petites, mais tout de même satisfaisantes. Le service était un peu insistant par moment.
Mama C's is a beautifully designed restaurant, & if you want an elegant night out, this is a lovely spot to visit. The food is great, & you should get a few things to share because there are many delicious plates to try. The meat plates were all good, & the spanakopita salad was a delight, but I'd personally nix the Tzatziki entrée, it wasn't bad, just plain & not worth the money. I would also highly recommend the Bougatsa dessert, it is delicious & honestly huge. We all shared, & we barely finished it. Keep in mind, though, that this restaurant is in a nice hotel downtown, so it is on the pricier side, but honestly, it was worth it, & no one was left wanting more.
This place is a real gem. The food is excellent but the service is even better. Melissa & Jimmy were a perfect balance between knowledgeable, friendly & professional. From the moment you're seated you feel welcome. The decor is relaxing & cosy. This is an experience that is worth repeating. I can't wait to go back.

We had an amazing experience at Mama C,Gabriel was an amazing server & the food was very fresh & delicious. I recommend to get the Seabass. It is served table side & very fresh. We will be definitely coming back.
I dined at the restaurant on Saturday the 18th & had Maria as a server-she was so sweet & helpful with guiding us through the menu! The food was amazing & I had a 10/10 experience, could not recommend enough!!
What a wonderful find! I've never had such an upscale, modern Greek cuisine. I was impressed with the quality of service, the sommelier helped us select a wine, the cocktails, wine & food courses exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend!
First time in this beautiful restaurant & I loved it! I already reserved for my anniversary at the end of this month. Food is really delicious, I strongly recommend the salads. Great drinks & very nice music. Kudos.
