✨OPA! ✨New Year’s Eve, the Grecian way!

This New Year’s Eve, skip the stuffy parties and celebrate like you’re on a Greek island at Taverna Agora. No cover. All vibes. Big plates, bold flavors, and the kind of energy that keeps the night moving well past midnight.

From 8:30 PM–1:00 AM, the music is live, the belly dancer brings the flair, and the room stays buzzing with that unmistakable Mediterranean joy. Our full dinner menu is on deck, plus chef-curated NYE features made for sharing, savoring, and saying “just one more bite.”

As the clock strikes twelve, we raise a glass together with a complimentary midnight champagne toast—because in Greece, the New Year is about togetherness, abundance, and starting fresh surrounded by good food and even better company. 🥂

✨💍 ’Tis the Season… for Love & Greek-Inspired “I Do’s.” 💍✨

The holidays are rolling in, and you know what that means... cozy nights, and so many Christmas proposals on the way.🎄💫

We’re already feeling all the romantic vibes, so we’re sharing one of our favorite weddings - the kind that makes you want to say “yes” under the mistletoe and dance under the rooftop lights.

At Taverna Agora, weddings have a warm glow, a rustic charm, and that rooftop magic… it all comes together to make every celebration feel straight out of a holiday daydream.

If engagement season is calling your name, we’re here for every “Will you?”, every happy tear, and every unforgettable moment to follow. 💙✨

🎄 When Your Dinner Doubles as Holiday Decor… 🎄

✨Meet Gemista ✨... our stuffed tomatoes and peppers so vibrant and festive, they’re basically the edible version of Christmas ornaments.

Bright reds, deep greens, and all the cozy Mediterranean flavors you crave this time of year: rice pilaf, ripe tomato, fresh herbs, and seasonal veggies tucked inside like a delicious little gift.

It’s the kind of dish that feels like comfort, cheer, and holiday magic all on one plate.

Brunches are for Recharging... hit pause and head up to Taverna Agora’s enclosed rooftop, where the heat is on, the breeze is blocked, and the Greek vibes are fully flowing.

Settle in for a cozy brunch overflowing with flavors that taste like a quick trip to the Mediterranean - no passport, no airport chaos, just good food and that “ahhh, finally” moment.

Sip, savor, laugh, recharge… then conquer the rest of that shopping list like a holiday hero.

Take a break. Live a little Greek life this season.
