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.
I had a fantastic dining experience at this restaurant! The service was exceptional, with our waitress truly attentive & in tune with our preferences. Marie-Claire ( our waitress) explained the menu in detail, making it easy to choose our dishes. The atmosphere was inviting, & the decor was exquisite, adding to the overall charm of the place. I highly recommend this spot date night,friends night out or for anyone looking for a delightful meal & outstanding service!
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 💙🤍
Exceptional Dining Experience! We loved our recent visit to Mam C! The service was top-notch - friendly, attentive, & welcoming. Our server Radislav was knowledgeable & ensured we felt well taken care of. The food was definitely on the expensive side but also expertly prepared & delicious. We can't wait to return! Highly recommended!
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.
