Magissa

If you're looking for fantastic Greek food and an amazing atmosphere you have to check out Magissa! The quality of the ingredients is outstanding; everything tasted incredibly fresh. I tried several things, each unique and delicious. I would recommend all of them! I had a newly-added smoked ricotta and beet appetizer, Mezze sampler platter, a perfectly seasoned lamb skewer and the Marinated Gigante Beans. All of which were so full of flavor, but the side of Gigante beans stole the show. A must try! I highly recommend Magissa for anyone looking for authentic, fresh Greek cuisine paired with stellar service and a lovely atmosphere. I can’t wait to go back and try more!

Went for “Girl Dinner” last week. This was a deal! Cesar Salad, fries and a dirty martini for $25! The martini could use some work, the brine was off to me, but the will let you sub for a regular martini with a twist if you’d prefer. Staff was wonderful, vibes were nice and I really appreciate the deal!

I walked in a little before closing and the hostess was able to accommodate us at the bar. The appetizers were authentically Greek and the main dishes did not disappoint. But what was exceptional was the dessert, a fusion of blueberries and tahini on an ouzo cake. I have never tasted anything like it before. It was truly an amazing night with a great atmosphere. Shout out to the bartender who tended bar and took very good care of us.

I grew up going to a wonderful Greek restaurant in Upstate NY (shout out Symeon's - open since 1973!), and Magissa is the first Greek restaurant in Maine I have gone to that matches it. The food is delicious, and the wine selection is also nice if that's your thing. We will be back!

Nice food. Great vibe and friendly staff. Prices very reasonable too. Some negatives: limited entrees. Also, we went all in for 5 mezze. They were good but we ran out of pita. The lamb chops were perfectly cooked but lacked punch. Gyros were good but I’ve had better. Overall very competent traditional Greek food. Worth going but not a super memorable experience if you’ve had Greek food elsewhere.

We popped in during their soft opening and were able to snag some bar seats. The bartender was quite helpful in guiding us through the Mediterranean wine selections. The decor was tastefully updated to reflect the Grecian menu. But most importantly, the food was phenomenal! We started with the mezze and a great tasting of spreads. For dinner, I opted for the Caesar salad with chicken, and my partner opted for the lamb gyro. The flavors were on point! We can't wait to make Magissa one of our regular establishments. Welcome to the neighborhood.

Came here with a large group, and our server was phenomenal! The brunch was really tasty. This place is also a great option for anyone with a peanut allergy because they don’t have any peanuts on the premises or cook with them at all.

Amazing. Not sure why this place doesn’t have a better rating but can’t make everyone happy I guess. Staff, food, atmosphere….. ALL of it 11/10. The extra 11/10 is because of a very small request I had on a table reservation they were able to fulfill. Kudos to this establishment - can’t recommend enough!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
