Very nice place -- we sat outside on a cloudy day to escape the noise of a full dining room. The patio is lovely with umbrellas and plenty of flowers, and a nice escape if the restaurant is crowded.
Amazing flaming cheese appetizer. Try it on the bread they give you -- I could make a whole meal of it. We had pastitsio and the lamb chops. The pastitsio was perfectly done with a light tomato sauce on top -- wonderful! The lamb chops were tender and perfectly spiced. Both meals came with a tasty green bean and tomato side dish that was filling and a nice complement to the main dishes.
The desserts were the best. I had a lemon custard which was light and amazingly delicious. My mom had a dessert that I cannot find the name of -- it had cut up phyllo on the bottom, drizzled with honey, with a vanilla-almond custard on top. That was my favorite, although they said it was a temporary feature, if you see it on the cart you should try it.
The owner, Panos, came out and chatted with us during our dessert. He was very kind and funny and told us a bit of history of the place. It was fantastic and felt very personal. I definitely will come here every time I visit Charlotte.
