I don't get the 4.5, food was not great at all. Canned dolmadakia, bland lentil soup, no Retsina. Also the outdoor patio is tilted so you feel you'll fall down your chair the whole time. Service was good though, & the wine serving was generous. But for that price I would rather go somewhere else. At least they had Greek music.

I have been coming to Philinos for years & it remains one of my absolute favorite spots in the neighborhood. The atmosphere is always welcoming & the staff treats you like family from the moment you walk through the door. The food is consistently fresh & cooked perfectly every single time I visit. It is rare to find a place that maintains such high standards over a long period. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable & delicious meal in a comfortable setting.

Everything about our experience at Philinos was top notch. We stopped by for a quick dinner on a Tuesday night & were surprised by how attentive the service was despite the place being quite busy. The flavors were bold & everything came out piping hot. It is clearly a staple for people in this area & I can see why it has such a loyal following. If you want a solid meal without any fuss this is definitely the right place to choose for your next outing.
