Always a great place early in the morning with incredible food and service. I've been going to this restaurant for about 15 years. Highly recommended.
Service was excellent. Decor was slightly above "diner-ish." THe gyro platter was on point. Fairly valued, loarge portions.
They were very nice and helpful when we went in to get desserts after our Christmas dinner. Such beautiful and cute Christmas cookies! We ended up getting a slice of cherry pie, an amazing chocolate cake with a brownie crust, and chocolate, and other types of, chips on the top, a chocolate chip cookie, a brownie, all freshly made. I love the Amphora!
Food: Stopped by with a friend for breakfast since we'd passed this place so many times. I ordered the Cajun Eggs Benedict--eggs cooked nicely with a runny yolk, and the muffins were soft, but the portion was pretty small. The andouille sausage was barely there, which was surprising for $16. Not sure I'd get it again, but might try something else if I come back. Service: Service was solid! For a busy Saturday morning, we got seated quickly. Staff was attentive and friendly, keeping things moving smoothly. Atmosphere: The restaurant is spacious with plenty of tables, and everything looked clean and well-kept. The relaxed vibe made it easy to settle in and enjoy breakfast. Overall: Good food overall, better than some diners around, though portions could be more generous. Giving it a 4/5 for the experience.
You better come here hungry the food is diner food so it varies with flavor but is better then what we had when I was stationed in Antarctica , the desserts are amazing
Stopped by here on a Saturday morning with a friend of mine for some breakfast as we've always past by this pace but never went in. Well, this was our chance and from our experience, it was good. The Food: I went with the "Cajun Eggs Benedict" for my meal. Two eggs benedicts with some andouille sausage, and some hash on the side. Eggs were cooked nicely with a runny yolk, muffins were soft. However, there were barely any sausages in my meal. And, the portions for everything was small. It was odd because for about $16, I thought I'd get something a little more fulfilling. I probably won't be getting the benedict again. Maybe something else next time, if I find myself back here. The Service: Service was good! For it being a Saturday morning, the restaurant was decently busy and we didn't have to wait log for a table. Staff were attentive and friendly. The Atmosphere: Very spacious restaurant with plenty of tables to sit at. Also, it looked pretty clean from what I saw around me. Overall, a 4/5. Food was good, better than some diners in the area. Just a little small on the portions for me.
Where do you go for a fantastic and scrumptious meal, great service, amazing portions, a beautiful and comfortable setting, that genuine and home Greek hospitality and love 258 miles south of NYC ? It's the gorgeous Amphora Diner in Herndon, Virginia. The entrance is so nice. There is a warmth that hits you the second you enter. The greeting from the hostess and not one but three different wait staff was very cordial. The presentation of the menu booklet is just stunning. It is classy. I am so used to the old, long plastic 8 by 14 pages. My buddy Gerry opted for the Caribbean salad with grilled chicken added and I ordered the glazed salmon salad with this wonderful citrus dressing. Both were so fresh, bursting with flavor; the fresh mango on the Caribbean salad was simply outstanding. The salmon was grilled perfectly and the chick peas added a nice taste to the salad. The hot tea was served in this beautiful flask( the hot water that is) and our great server Alan brought me two tea bags to start with and replenished the hot water pronto. He was just great - friendly, cool, funny and on the ball. The breakfast items also looked very appetizing. I had heard a lot about their stellar bakery. Next time! The owner Steve made it a point to come by and say hello and check up on us. Amphora Diner is open daily from 7 am to midnight and their bakery is also in Herndon about 2 miles away on Sunset Park Drive. This was a fantastic meal and experience .
