Symeon and Ann Tsoupelis opened the first restaurant on Oneida Street in the City of Utica, close to the intersection of the Parkway. The restaurant sat almost 20 patrons! It was during this time that the Mohawk Valley got their first taste of Greek cuisine. While Symeon operated the restaurant, Ann was busy at home making all of the desserts, and raising a young family of four.In 1976, Symeon’s moved to Genesee Street in the village of New Hartford. At this location the dining area increased in size to accommodate 50 diners. The restaurant operated very successfully at this location until 1982. It was at this time that Symeon and Ann purchased the property on Commercial Drive in Yorkville, which was the former Riley’s Place and Goetz’s Diner.
