" Had a lovely time at Desfina, but I think the hype may be a bit too much! The food was good, but it didn't blow me away. The service was friendly, and the place had nice décor, but I expected more excitement in flavors. Safe to say I won’t be rushing back, but it’s worth a visit if you haven’t been. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to swing by Desfina for dinner on a whim, and I'm so glad I did! The lamb kebab was juicy and perfectly spiced. The service was exceptional, with our server being knowledgeable and friendly. It felt like we were dining in someone’s home, making it a special experience. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Desfina has become my go-to spot for Greek cuisine! I absolutely adore their vegetarian options, especially the spanakopita which is flaky and flavorful. The service is usually quick, though it can lag occasionally when the place is packed. Overall, highly recommend for both flavor and atmosphere! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Desfina was a mixed bag for me. The first few dishes we ordered, like the calamari and the chicken souvlaki, were decent but not memorable. The best part was the ambiance; it felt like a local Greek tavern. The service was hit or miss—sometimes friendly, other times seemingly overwhelmed. I’d like to visit again to see if it was just an off night. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a bit skeptical going in, but Desfina truly surprised me. The grilled octopus was a fantastic appetizer, and I had the seafood platter which had the freshest fish and shrimp I've ever tasted. The ambiance was lively yet relaxing, perfect for a Friday night. If you love seafood, you'll find this place to your liking! Definitely worth a visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my experience at Desfina! The octopus appetizers were simply incredible, grilled to perfection. The service was approachable and made the experience even better. The lamb dish that my friend ordered was also stellar. Such a lovely atmosphere—I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great meal with a vibrant atmosphere at Desfina. The grilled calamari was fresh, though I found the seasoning slightly lacking. My main dish of lamb was good, but I hoped for more depth of flavor. The service was excellent, and they were attentive throughout. A solid option for Greek cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)
