Taverna Naxos

We ordered chicken tenders and broccoli for our two young kids, and the food had a strong, fishy smell that all of us noticed. We also ordered butter pasta from the kids’ menu. The pasta was extremely dry on top, while the bottom of the plate was filled with a watery liquid that smelled like butter. It was very unappetizing. I asked the waiter to take it back and drain the liquid, which he did, but he then tried to tell me that what I thought was water was actually butter. The $30 octopus was another disappointment. We received just two tiny, finger-sized pieces that were soft and seemed undercooked. For that price, both the portion and quality were unacceptable. The half chicken was also dry on the inside and did not taste fresh at all. Overall, the food was mediocre at best, especially considering the extremely high prices. I genuinely wanted to like this restaurant and was looking forward to trying it, which made the experience even more disappointing.

You wouldn’t expect it from the outside but this place is darling and delicious. Halibut and grouper entrees were prepared to perfection. The cocktails were also very tasty. The outdoor patio is cute though we didn’t dine there. A hidden gem!

Enjoyed a wonderful dinner with my wife. Great ambiance, nice decoration and bubbly on the house to start! First hot Spanakopita, delicious spinach, fresh herbs & feta cheese blend baked in phyllo crust. Followed by one of the best beet salads I had with roasted red & yellow beets, arugula, shaved pears, roasted pistachios, whipped feta cheese w/ citrus vinaigrette. The main courses were a Deconstructed Pastitsio (Greek pasta w/ braised short ribs in creamy tomato sauce) and Moussaka (layered baked eggplant, potato & spiced tomato-ground beef, topped w/ béchamel sauce). Both entrees were very nicely presented and tasted like more (although the portions are generous). We finished this dinner with a Rizogalo (Greek creamy rice pudding with a hint of cinnamon) and a double espresso. This was a wonderful dinner, great ambiance and the waiter Nikolai was the best! Thank you for a memorable Valentine’s dinner, this is a wonderful Greek taverna in walking distance, brings memories back from my time in Greece.

This is our third time to Naxos & it's been outstanding every time! My mom ordered the Dover Sole & said it was amazing! From the deconstructed Pastitsio to the lamb shank we enjoyed our delicious & hearty meals!!! We highly recommend spending an evening here💗

Down from the The Colorado Lamb, Greek Lamb, Salmon, My old fashion drink was original, I have not had an original drink in so long. Our waitress was amazing & so was the service. My family and I will be definitely coming back for more. Just wonderful. Recommend this resturant to anyone who is in town or just wants Greek food around Willamette.
