In ShortWith a bar shaped like an ancient boat and decor awash in yellow, green, white and red, this restaurant pays tribute to the island nation of Cyprus. The menu features a variety of traditional dishes like hummus, talatouri (homemade yogurt with cucumber and mint), grilled meat or seafood souvlaki. Dishes are available a la carte, but are best enjoyed as a meze, or tapas-style mixture of plates.

excellent

I'm from Milwaukee, and I have had every Greek food in Chicago. This food was better than any I've ever had!!!! The food was great, the service was excellent, even the live music on Saturdays. I had such a great time at this place. I highly recommend it.

Phenomenally Apart

Well...years and years of Greek Cuisine in Chicago..Boring repetition and copycat-ing. Not Venus. Different, exoticly simple and excuisite in all aspects. Great dinner suggestions. Service casually upscale and all efford to satisfy your culinary needs is undertaken. A couple of mistakes by the servers, were not enough to spoil the great experience. They were Politely aknowledged and tackled with.

Let's start of with the service. Excellent service from the valet to the busboy. Staff very pleasant and customer friendly. Take it from someone who grew up with ethnic food, the food was unbeliveably good. We had the lamb wrapped in foil and the eggplant/zuchhini mousaaka. It was mouth watering! Would highly recommend it . If you want a pleasant evening out with out the typical noisy over crowded greek restaurant the area provides, try Venus!
