| - My first time in Greektown Toronto, somehow I always end up in Chinatown or Richmond Hill.
Pan had an appealing look from the street, so after a glance at the menu we ventured in.
Festive glass ball Christmas ornaments dangling from a faux tin ceiling. Lightly swaying as the waiter rushes by, I'd be tempted to keep them up all year
We inquired about getting a prix fix menu and sharing it. Our Robert DeNiro look alike (although shorter and not quite as handsome) discourages it with a scowl.
So we order off the menu:
Avegolomono, a chicken lemon and rice soup, the best I've ever had, even including the version from Greek family I used to work for--sorry Liz, I cannot tell a lie.
Saganaki - the flaming cheese appetizer--mainly because we are in Greektown and I can't resist. It's the flames, it's the OOMPAH!!! It was too much food!
Lamb entree on orzo,the tomato based sauce was a bit strong for me, but it could be just me, the lamb was tender,
No Dessert for us.
The restaurant filled up as we were eating, a mix of tourists and regulars it seemed.
As I thought back. We should have just ordered the Prix Fix, rather than asking.
They would have gotten one more star from me.
