| - I made a wrong turn and decided to pull into parking lot to get headed in the right direction again. That's when I spotted the front doors to Greekfest. My husband loves Greek food, used to live there when he was a little boy. I thought. "We should try this place out!"
As soon as you walk in, all the details come into view. The color scheme, décor, wood floors, Grecian art and accents. I love how clean and well kept it looks. We were promptly greeted by a friendly server and sat at a corner table. Then, our culinary adventure began!
We ordered the Dolmas, flamed lamb sausage, Spanikopita, grilled octopus, ouzo, and ended dinner with Pastitsio. Portions are enough for 2 people and served tapas style. It's so much fun to try a little of this and that. So... how was it? DELICIOUS! We were so surprised that we hadn't heard of this place before and are so happy that we now have our "go-to" Greek restaurant.
What really sets this place apart, beside the delicious farm to table food (the chef picks his greens and herbs from a garden behind the building), is the charming staff and friendly owners. They came to our table and talked to us about our travels and the history of their restaurant. When the owner found out my husband and I were recently married, she came back a few moments later with a to-go container of Greek wedding cookies a lovely card wishing us the best in our new marriage. It's little things like that that make the dining experience so much fun.
We will definitely be back!! Thank you for everything, Greekfest! :)
