“ Taverna Kos treats you like family. They have this way of making you feel welcome without being intrusive. They offered us refills on our 3 dip sampler (tzatsiki, spicy feta, and garlic potato) which was super yummy! Dessert was on the house, and they offered seconds on that as well. Lemon potatoes, lamb chops, and octopus were all delicious. They are cash only, but they do accept Zelle! ”
“ We wanted to find a decent restaurant for lunch within walking distance of our hotel - and we hit the jackpot with Taverna Kos. My wife and I have been to Greece several times, and this is great authentic Greek food! We started with a Greek Salad - and the tomatoes in it were absolutely amazing! We enjoyed the Greek meatballs, spiced to perfection. The owner also brought us some delicious cut up watermelon for desert to top off our.wonderful lunch. This was a 5 star foodie experience!!! ”
