First time here and will definitely be coming back. Have frequented some other Greek restaurants in the area for many years but Molos is way better. Everything we had was top notch, the octopus appetizer was huge, saganaki was crispy like it should be, everyone loved their entrees.

Our waiter was really attentive and provided great service. Food is good and there is enough of it, but some dishes seem more expensive than similar restaurants. Also, the wine list was just OK. There are a few good ones on the list but some should be changed out.

Food was excellent. They were out of a few items on the menu and we were amongst the first tables of the evening (Wed)but the waitress was very apologetic. Main courses were slow to appear but the food was definitely worth the wait and the portions were big. . Our friends who dine there often said it was an off night. Very nice atmosphere. Menu has lots of choices. We will come back for sure.
