Laki is the owner’s name and his son came over from Greece to help open the restaurant; the whole family has really pitched in to help keep the restaurant running. They have managed to stay open by offering take-out and posting their daily specials on their Facebook page. They want me to pass along a message, they have felt so appreciated and grateful for all the support they have received and continue to receive from community.
