I'd say Samos in Greektown on Oldham St. European style seating, BYOB, food is great.

Not a restaurant, but there is a stand run by an old Greek guy right here on the JHMI campus in East Baltimore (he usually hangs out on the corner of Wolfe and Monument) and his food is AMAZING.

Big fan of Samos, too. Been going there since their main focus was as a sub/pizza carryout that offered a few Greek specialties done very well. Ikaros on Eastern Ave. also used to be very good, but I haven't been there for a few years. Their grilled Porgy used to be so outstanding that I stole their recipe.
Biggest disappointment in Greek has been the Black Olive, where "authentic"="very expensive." First time, they were the hot, new, trendy, Greek fishhouse with great reviews. I took my parents from Atlanta there. I hated apologizing to them afterwards. Second experience years later with just my wife and me was equally bad, but even more over-priced.
Favorite Greek Restaurant in the Country is still The Parthenon on Halsted Street in Chicago-old fashioned, traditional Greek and Greek/American favorites, cheesy-fun atmosphere, free shots of Ouzo if you have to wait for a table, the best Sagnaki, fried sweetbreads and grilled Octopus I've ever had. Go there every time I'm in the Windy City.

The best Greek food in Maryland is going to be at my house tonight! Our pumpkin plant is still making flowers, so fried squash flowers, goat cheese, and honey are my midnight snack. Thanks dear wife!

Thanks, it is a special treat!

I asked my wife which restaurant in Baltimore her family frequents when they are down that way. I can't recall off the top of my head.
