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.
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.
