| - This was the last restaurant I tried for Summerlicious 2013, after trying to find a lower end place that's not an Italian restaurant. The interior was a lot dimmer than I thought, which I guess contributed to the good atmosphere of this place.
My table of five shared the appetizers: Sesame Baked Feta, Kolokithokeftedes, Gigantes Plaki, Mydia Santorini, and Floured Calamari. The positives were the baked feta, kolokithokeftedes, and floured calamari, while the mydia santorini and the gigantes plaki disappointed us.
I had the Kakavia as my main course. There was definitely a lot more calamari than the fettuccine pasta, but unfortunately there was also too much sauce compared with the pasta. This created that mushy feeling with the pasta, and I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted. The calamari and scallops were good, the shrimp was okay, but the mussels were once again disappointing.
My dessert was the milfei, which really was nothing special.
One thing I like about this place was the performance that started around 7:45pm. Having a Greek bellydancer around the restaurant does give the Greek feeling, and really it's what many European restaurants do in order to attract customers.
Service was passable, but there were points (especially where we wanted water refills) where our server went missing.
