the best dessert I've ever had. ”
- “
He kept trying to push the baklava dessert on us, but I informed him in a polite way that I was not interested in that because it is something I could get on a daily basis and it has never been one of my favorite desserts. ”
- “
The prawns were plump and juicy, the octopus was amazing, and the stuffed grape leaves and the crab cake were excellent. ”

The greek yogart with honey dessert was unique. ”
- “
He spent a long time talking at other tables, which left us waiting long periods of times to order our drinks, to order our dessert, to get our check, and to have our check picked up. ”
- “
It was just exactly the right ending for a wonderful meal, and incredibly, the waiter told us that the restaurant was comping our dessert as an anniversary present. ”

The baklava was a little too sweet (even for baklava) for our liking but the pistachio ice-cream was great. ”

Everything from the apps to the entrees were excellent as are the appropriately proportioned desserts. ”

fresh fish and veg. ”

The food was still great, even though the service was okay. ”

This is the best Greek food in the town and they deserve the fame. ”

MY FIRST REVIEW: Disappointing food (and overpriced). ”
- “
Kyma lives up to the Mediterranean standards of its contemporaries: fresh olive oil, tender meat, and authentic, lively service. ”

The lamb chops were nice, but the "Greek" fish dishes were very bland, tiny portions, the presentation was boring, and the bill was astronomical. ”

It was just exactly the right ending for a wonderful meal, and incredibly, the waiter told us that the restaurant was comping our dessert as an anniversary present. ”

Kyma delivered the most delectable meal we have had in ages. ”

Before our own selections began to arrive, the waiter bought out a small bite 'from the chef' - a wonderful little swordfish carpaccio, just a few bites, but clean, crisp flavor seasoned perfectly with a bit of crunch from what looked like fried rice nood ”

liked the flavor of the chicken, but not the risotto. ”
