In Short
This full-service restaurant features a patio facing the Grove and a flickering fireplace inside. The extensive Greek and Mediterranean menu embraces produce from the neighboring Farmers Market. Appetizer tzatziki comes with pita bread and a yogurt and cucumber dipping sauce. Layers of roasted potatoes, eggplant and zucchini in bechamel sauce make up moussaka. Traditional souvlaki, charred skewers of marinated chicken, lamb or beef, are paired with rice pilaf, sauteed asparagus and green beans.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the Farmers Market. Their patio is very nice, with great people watching from the Grove next door. Service is very attentive and the food is much more upscale than most Greek restaurants in the city. Excellent spanokopita (best I have had) and very good moussaka and pastichio. Gyro sandwiches are par for the course, but served with both salad and garlic fries. The only bad meal I have ever had here was the steak sandwich (very tough). That aside, the best dish I have ordered is the Greek plate which gets you a bit of everything. I recommend coming for lunch as the menu prices are much more reasonable.

During my visit to Los Angeles, I read several reviews before deciding to go eat at Ulysses Voyage. I was mainly looking for a greek restaurant with live music since I love Greek music. The reviews I had read didn't rave much about the quality of the food, but I thought I give it a try anyway, if not for the food, perhaps to enjoy the music. The restaurant is divided into two rooms, unfortunately for us, we got seated in the back room. The musicians were in the front. We could bearly hear them. I would suggest they hood up their amplifier to the speakers they aready have in both rooms. My husband ordered the chicken gyro and I, the roast leg of lamb. Honestly, I have had much better gyros at any small joint at a mall food court. The chicken had no taste, very bland. The potatoes deffinitely need some salt, pepper, garlic, olive oil and perhaps a hint of oregano. (your get the idea.) The lamb, very dry. It seemed as if they overcooked it. The sauce or juice was tasty but the meat, forget about it, for $25 a plate deffinitely not worth it. I could do a much better job cooking this meal and I'm not greek. The only two things we loved was the appetizer we ordered "Saganaki" and the Baklava we ordered for dessert. OH, by the way the coffee was delicious. Too bad they closed Athens By Night in Studio City, wich was a great place for many years.

Our family has been coming to Ulysses for over a year. We absolutely love the food, the people that work so hard there and the wonderful musicians. They always treat us so well. Everything on the menu is excellent. We've had parties here and introduced friends to Ulysses that keep coming back too. It's just a great place. Make sure to make reservations for dinner Fridays and Saturdays - it's a very popular place in the Grove.
