I was at Sofi recently. Loved the fresh pita (brought to table piping hot and with just a touch of butter), loved the dolmathes. Avgolemono came slightly on the cool side. My seabass (I opted for the baked version) was slightly overcooked and chewy. I'm more used to seabass that melts in your mouth. My fiance's meat dish (sorry, can't remember the name) was much better.
 
In short, nice ambience, decent food, large portions, slow service (in true Greek style?). The tab came to $100 before tip with the above plus 3 glasses of wine. I'd go back but it's not my favorite.
 
Pita Pita (not Greek, more like Persian or Lebanese) in Pasadena (on Fair Oaks south of Colorado) is better value. It's also the only place I order lemonade (good, cheap, free refills). Everywhere else it's way too sweet and often tastes of chemicals from the fake lemon juice they use (ok, maybe not fake but certainly processed beyond recognition).
