I had the misfortune of dining at this establishment, and I can confidently say it was an absolute disaster from start to finish. The food was an insult to taste buds everywhere—horrible in appearance, flavor, and quality. The so-called “meal” I was served looked like it was scraped off the floor of a gulag kitchen; the meat didn’t even appear cooked, resembling a gray, unappetizing lump that could double as a doorstop. The chicken dish was drowned in a sloppy, tasteless sauce, and the rice with green beans and tomato sauce was a sad, mushy mess that tasted like it had been reheated from last week’s leftovers.
To top it off, my earlier order of rigatoni was a complete joke. It arrived cold, as if they’d forgotten about it, and when I complained, they had the audacity to microwave it and serve it back to me with a straight face, claiming it takes a full hour to make pasta—ridiculous! The texture was rubbery, and the flavor was nonexistent, making me question if they even know what pasta should be.
The service was just as appalling. The waitress stumbled around like she’d had one too many, slurring her words and clearly clueless about the menu. When I asked for clarification, she stared at me blankly, as if the concept of food was foreign to her. This place is a travesty—overpriced, undercooked, and served by staff who couldn’t care less. Avoid it at all costs unless you enjoy culinary punishment!

This is what we wanted! First time visit, the man that greeted us was on point and put us at a table that worked. The server was outstanding!
We enjoyed the focus so much, we went back to try different items the second night!!! Thank you Dimitri and the “Eagle eye” mgr. authentic and perfect, appreciate the focus. Please request Dimitri unless we are there, we want a table! Well done!!!

This is simply the only place in the USA that I felt like I was home in a restaurant. And I am a born and raised Greek. The moment we walked in, it smelled like a home restaurant, looked like a restaurant, and I had service like in a Greek restaurant from home. The food was absolutely delicious, with beans and potatoes, just like mama used to make, and the meat was grilled to perfection. To top all that, the service was absolutely perfect, and that was even better than expected, much better than places we've been in S Florida, the place we call home. But again, when your server was a veteran server from cruise ships, that's what you get. I can't wait to get back and have a meal there again and see our favorite waiter. If you want to feel like you're in a Taverna in Hellas, go and enjoy Pegasus. Ευχαριστούμε πάρα πολύ !

My mom is deceased, she brought me here on a few occasions. That was about 25 years ago. To me this place has not changed, but that's a good thing. It brings back great memories... The food is still fired. It's hard in today's economy, they make it look easy...

We love Pegasus in Greektown
Lots of construction going on until 2026 but it is accessible if you park at old St Mary’s off of Lafayette. Pegasus is right around the corner from Old St Mary’s
I love stuffed grape leaves with rice. Love the lemon and red sauce.
Previously I had the eggplant dish with bechamel sauce and it blew me away.
Hubby had a gyro
