Alexis

Best Restaurant in Town!. I make my family go here every year for my birthday. I love this place, it feels like I'm in my grandmother's kitchen.. and I'm not even Greek. The dishes are light and never overcooked. The Lamb Silvaki (sp?) is to die for. Buy a glass of wine and the Greek salad on the side, and you'll be transported to a quaint restaurant in Greece.

If you have kids, the staff loves to chat with them and make them feel comfortable. That always makes me feel proud. They once broke a plate and the owner (I think) broke a plate himself to make them feel no big deal.  View Less … View More

Overpriced, Not so great.. 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.  View Less … View More

Very good greek food near the Portland Saturday Market. 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.  View Less … View More
