Alexis Restaurant is the home of Portland's very own Greek Taverna. There's no better place to go for fabulous food with a family-friendly environment. Terrific for large or small parties, first dates or anytime...come join the fun.

In Short – Passing through the white-walled exterior, you'll swear you've crossed the Atlantic and stepped into a cheerful, bustling Greek taverna. Luscious aromas and festive Greek music welcome you while families and friends gather around blue-and-white checked vinyl tablecloths. Starters include creamy hummus, tender and tangy octopus, and delicious dolmades. For dinners there are entrees such as moussaka and grilled souvlaki plates. Dessert indulgences like the baklava and bougatsa don't disappoint.

Overpriced, Not so great.

by starmckenzie at Citysearch

This was my first time at Alexis. The food was rather disappointing. Canned, disgusting vegetables and the Kleftiko was blah.. The service was decent. The atmosphere was enjoyable. Overall the experience was mediocre.

  • Pros: Atmosphere
  • Cons: Vegetables side, Prices

Very good greek food near the Portland Saturday Market

by WSeattleFoodie at Citysearch

Alexis is a unique greek place that is very unasuming and gives the impression of being closed on the outside. Located on Burnside between Chinatown and the Portland Saturday Market, you will walk in a nice Greek eatery. The service was friendly and was reasonably attentive. We started off with humus and bread which both were very good. The humus had a nice level of garlic without being overbearing. The bread was great. We decided going simple and both had the lamb/beef gyros and spanikopita. The spanikopita was presented a little differently with the philo more of a topping and bottom vs the more commonly found stuffed triangles of philo. It was a pleasant suprise and very good. The gyro was very good and done on a different style pita than I've normally had. This was more of a hybrid between a tortilla and a typical pita used for gyros. It was good, none the less. The prices were reasonable. Aparently Alexis actually makes and distributes a lot of Greek food products to other places.

  • Pros: Ambience, close to downtown
  • Cons: none

Ouch........service & prices.....

by jonasweb16 at Citysearch

Seedy joint in a seedy area of town and memorably bad service. $7.95 for tzatziki in a finger bowl! If you want pita bread to go with it..... well then cough up $2.00 more for 2 pieces! The food for their prices might have been acceptable had it not been for the wretched attitude of the server. The food really is not cheap when you have to pay for bad service as well! Next time, I will be driving 16 blocks due west and keeping my eye out on the amazing Greek restaurant at the corner of 18th and Burnside.

  • Pros: none
  • Cons: service, value, and location
