Nikanos Mediterranean Grille - Ogunquit

So very disappointing, especially after reading so many positive reviews. The Greek salad, small, was four wedges of tomato three slices of half a cucumber with 4 half slices of Kalamata olives, It did have a nice piece of feta cheese, and decent dressing. My wife had the lamb skewers, which were chewy and tough, inedible, my moussaka had no resemblance to the dish. Watery beef, a few pieces of eggplant and a thin bechamel sauce, about a quarter cup on the individual portion received. Simple cocktails (vodka soda) were 12 dollars and weak. We were told that this table has another reservation and we need to order now. Nice atmosphere great location, poor service and awful food. We have eaten at many very good Greek restaurants in Tarpon Springs Florida, which has a large Greek population. Maybe I was expecting too much in Maine. Oh and I almost forgot, The Moussaka is tagged GF (Gluten Free) on the menu and it is not! We had the server ask the cook how he thickens the bechamel sauce and said with flour.

We were looking to try something unique at Ogunquit and picked out Nikanos through reading the reviews. The food and ambience was awesome. The setting was cozy and had a sense of nostalgia. The staff was caring and the service was wonderful. We lost track of time and did not realize that our cinch bag was left at the restaurant until we were back at home in PA. We called the restaurant with a very slim hope that we might manage to get the bag back. The staff was very kind and returned our bag via mail. We felt very grateful and wish Nikanos best of luck!!

Our new favorite place to eat in Ogunquit! Food, environment, and staff amazing, warming, and so welcoming. We'll be sure to eat here every time we're in Ogunquit. The food is so fresh and out of this world. Would highly recommend the Greek Village Salad, Steamed Maine Mussels, Grilled Octopus, Pasta Nikanos, and Braised Lamb Shank.

The food here was to die for, but truthfully I'm a s for Greek cuisine. Pace yourself wisely when eating so you can enjoy multiple dishes. It was so worth it. Make sure to save room for the dessert!

We had a reservation I made 6 weeks prior by phone, however when we arrived they didn't have it. Fortunately we did not have to wait more than 5 minutes for a table outside. We started with the traditional dips and the baked oysters Onassis, both delicious. We also had the grilled octopus, it was very good, however the portion was minuscule. Valerie's shrimp was very tasty as the Pastitsio. Ended with a complimentary dessert. We would definitely come back.
