  • We *love* Greek food and were thrilled to try Poros! Reserved a lunch table through Open Table app...no issues upon arrival and was seated promptly. Server was efficient and friendly, no concerns there. Menu looked very good and I decided on the 3 course Prix Fixe (horiatiki salad, pastisio and baklava ice cream). The salad was excellent, though smaller than I'd have liked. I could overlook that, though, given that it was exactly like the salads I had in Naxos, Greece. The feta was creamy, the tomatoes, cukes and peppers were at room temp, nice oregano and oil throughout. One kalamata olive though. : ( Pastisio is my favorite Greek dish...so comforting and warm. Poros' pastisio is lamb based, and I was surprised to see pieces of lamb instead of the regular ground meat. From there, it went a bit downhill. There was one scant later of tube pasta atop the lamb and the sliced tomatoes (also a Poros twist), and that was topped by a further scant later of bechamel (touted as allspice bechamel on the menu). The bechamel and pasta had solidified into one firm, thin later devoid of any flavor at all. HUGE disappointment. Bechamel should be lovely and fragrant and creamy...and far more than a 1/4" layer. Being a traditional comfort food, I can't see how you can leave out the pasta, either. The lamb was cooked excellently - no fat, no gristle, very tender...but, It wasn't seasoned at all. Much room for improvement in this dish. With lamb of that quality, it could be a standout. The star of the show was the baklava ice cream. Cinnamon based with pieces of honeyed phyllo throughout. Topped with what I can only describe as a baklava crisp, it was absolutely scrumptious. Overall, this place has potential. Gorgeous space, a seemingly eager staff and a menu that shouldn't be too difficult to master, I really hope they fine tune their recipes in the very near future. I'd head back in a month to give it another shot!
