Crowd-pleasing Greek spot in Park Slope with generous platters, warm service, and a pleasant garden, though pricing and occasional takeout/service hiccups are noted.
Why it gets an A- for overall quality
Simply Greek delivers solid A-grade performance through strong food quality anchored by well-seasoned grilled meats and seafood, paired with attentive, warm service. The pleasant garden setting and generous portions create an inviting neighborhood experience, though occasional consistency variations and modest destination appeal prevent higher standing. A reliable Park Slope favorite that exceeds typical casual dining standards.
Restaurant Summary
A welcoming Park Slope spot where the room feels cozy and neighborly and the garden adds an easygoing escape. Diners praise the friendly staff and hearty plates, with one noting, "service felt warm and unhurried." Expect generous portions and classic Greek comforts. The cooking leans traditional Greek with a light modern touch—think crisp calamari, juicy souvlaki, and a reliably crowd-pleasing salmon. It is more elevated home-style than fussy, with quality ingredients and simple technique doing the work. Prices run a bit high for casual, but many find the portions and freshness balance the bill. Families fit right in. There is a kids-friendly lineup by nature: fries, pita, skewers, burgers, and simple salads. Reviews mention a children menu in past visits and staff who accommodate allergies. Picky eaters can keep it straightforward while adventurous kids can nibble grilled fish or dolmades.
