| - Came here yesterday to soak up any sun I can get past 5pm. (^_^)
This Greek restaurant is facing the street so it's really hard to miss. There is parking in the back or at the front along the street. The inside looks really cozy, without any windows and tall bar chairs.
The crowd is seemingly majority of locals &25% repeat loyal customers. It was my date's 7th time here. I had been here before to celebrate a friend finishing her med exams. For the life of me, I couldn't recall the place. So, to my surprise it was the same place.
The staff are down to earth and very friendly. I noticed all the servers are male. The place has a casual feel to it. Nothing is fancy. Needless to say, It's the perfect place for a hearty lunch/dinner date.
The patio here is a bit of a tight squeeze but lovely none-the less. When you enter the restaurant, turn left. It's a long way down with the tables all on the left side of the fence. The last booth/table has cushions on the seats. Mostly because it's against the wall.
The portions are extremely filling and they start you with bread (white AND multigrain) , butter & balsamic vinegar oil right away. The oil is really good quality.
Order:
Melikithia - Bruschetta style mix with pita bread. The mix is fresh and light containing eggplant, tomatoes and garlic.
Kotopoulu Lemenato : 2 large chicken breasts covered in a garlic,creamy alfredo-like sauce with Greek potatoes, pilaf rice and Greek salad. - The chicken was delicious. potatoes were amazing! Everything was perfectly grilled and succulent with the lemon sauce all over. The rice was soft and cooked well. It had long grains in between which made it even more appetizing.
Kotopoulu Gemisto : Stuffed chicken with spinach, basil,red peppers and goat cheese. This dish was served with side veggies and dry spinach leaves. It was fantastic!
I cannot speak highly enough of the food here. Want to impress a girl? -one that loves food? - BRING HER HERE!!
Paid & walked away a desert happy girl - without any desert!
MAGICAL SUCCESS!!
XOXO
