Ephesus Taverna Mediterranean Restaurant And Bar

The moussaka I got was slightly burnt. Besides that, it was alright. The tomato sauce wasn’t too overbearing, and the potatoes were pretty tender. My boyfriend’s hummus and calamari turned out well, though. The calamari was crispy, and the hummus was a little oily (olive oil perhaps). Service was a little spotty, hence the four rather than five star.

Highly recommend 👌🏼 excellent place. Live music, the belly dancer was so lovely. The food was mouth-watering!!! We were seated quickly even though they couldn't see my reservation for some reason. We had dinner at 8 and the was no wait but there were many enjoying dinner. Parking was across the street. It is NOT free but even still HIGHLY RECOMMEND

We had our son’s rehearsal dinner on the rooftop patio and it was beautiful and romantic! Ben, Natalie and their team were professional, courteous and gave us amazing service that evening.The food was delicious, especially the Mykonos and the Lemoncello Cake.The specialty drinks that were created for the occasion were unique and gave everyone a variety. We really appreciate the gorgeous atmosphere for our two families to come together and make wonderful memories! Thank you!

Came here for dinner while visiting my sister. We decided to sit in the garden upstairs so we had views of the city which was nice. The flambéed cheese and calamari were both excellent. Likewise all our dinners were wonderful and the staff was very attentive, pleasant and helpful. This made for the start of a wonderful evening overall. They have at least two bars upstairs and downstairs that are nicely stocked and have a nice selection of wines and beers. Being downtown, convenient parking can be a little challenging to find so if you made reservations, which I recommend, arrive a little early just in case you need a couple extra minutes finding a parking spot. My family really enjoyed their meals. I will definitely return the next time I am in town.

My wife and I wondered in here without reservations on a beautiful Raleigh evening hoping to get a table on the upstairs patio but without any luck so we settled for a high top table near the bar. We might have been a little disappointed about not having a seat on the patio but every other aspect of our dinner was great. Friendly, helpful, attentive service from the bartender. Great drinks from the bar. The food was delicious, strongly salted but I prefer that to food under salted. Grilled salmon was cooked perfectly. The spinach it was served on had a very strong garlic and salt flavor but it worked as seasoning for the salmon, just use as much as you want with each bite of salmon. The meatballs and zucchini cakes were both delicious, on the salty side but delicious. I’m looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu.

This restaurant is exceptional in every sense of the word. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with such warmth that I knew everything was going to go well. I was early to set up for a rehearsal dinner for a wedding, and the entire team was committed to making sure things were perfect. The food was exceptional, and our servers Taylor and Blu were very attentive. Parking was a challenge but everything else is amazing.

My wife and I had a great time at the Taverna Agora. It was her birthday that fell on a Monday this time, and most of the places are closed on Mondays here. This Greek place was one of the rare ones that was open and we were not disappointed. The rooftop is pretty and well lit. The food was delicious with generous portion sizes. We ordered the zucchini fritters and stuffed eggplant for the starters. For the main course, we got the veggie entree (the only veggie item on the menu) and chicken pasta. The drinks selection was great as well. Overall, I'd recommend it for a nice, cozy date night.
