" I visited Kellari during a slow mid-week evening and had a great experience! The server was very attentive, and the ambiance was cozy. My partner and I shared the octopus and calamari starters, which were very fresh. However, the main course (lamb chops) was cooked a bit more than I prefer. Overall, a nice dining experience, and I'm excited to try more dishes! Will definitely be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Kellari Taverna has quickly become my go-to spot for Greek food in DC! The food is consistently fresh, especially the seafood dishes. Everything from the spanakopita to the octopus appetizer is bursting with flavor. The only downside was that it took longer than expected for our meals to arrive during a busy night. The service was polite, though, and the charming ambiance keeps me coming back. Plus, they've got a fantastic happy hour, which is hard to beat! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kellari Taverna is a hidden gem! The seafood dishes really highlighted the freshness of Greek cuisine. We indulged in a variety of appetizers, and each was exceptional. Our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu, which added value to our experience. The ambiance was elegant yet comfortable, making it a suitable spot for both casual dining and special occasions. I'd return without hesitation! " (*Curated Review*)

" I attended a work lunch at Kellari and was impressed by the service and food quality. The three-course set lunch menu was a steal, and the food was delicious. I appreciated the freshness of the seafood with each dish. Our service was efficient, even with a large group. The atmosphere added to the experience, making it ideal for business meetings. Will surely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is wonderful for a special occasion! My family and I dined here for my sister's birthday, and the staff made it extra special with complimentary desserts. The food was nice and fresh, especially the seafood platter. It was a great representation of Greek cuisine, but the service was a bit slow. Nonetheless, we are looking forward to returning again!

" Disappointingly, my recent visit didn't meet the high expectations I had heard from friends about Kellari. The service was inattentive and I felt neglected by our waiter. My chicken souvlaki was a bit on the dry side, and the tzatziki was lackluster. That said, my friend's lamb shank was deliciously tender. The restaurant's atmosphere is inviting, so I might give it another chance on a quieter night. Hopefully, service can improve then. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to Kellari was incredible! We celebrated my friend's birthday and the staff really went above and beyond. The food was purely divine, particularly the octopus and calamari. The only downside was the high noise level; it was a busy night! Our waiter attended to us well, but seemed overwhelmed. All in all, a fun dining experience that I would gladly repeat!
