This place was recommended by a friend of a friend. I'd like to give it a better review if only for the clever use of a basement space, which has been transformed in a pleasant combination of Greek taverna and ratskeller. Unfortunately I am not able to do so.
Our party of five was seated by a pleasant but rather nervous server. As soon as we started looking at the wine list, the owner came over and began a sales pitch for one of the more expensive bottles of wine on the menu, something which I never care to hear. We ordered beer to spite him.
The food from the pan-Mediterranean menu was not bad but did not really rise above mediocre. Stuffed grape leaves were tasty enough but ordinary and suffered from not being rolled properly. Another tapa/mezze of french fries in truffle oil had very good fries but not enough truffle flavour. Two of our party ordered the pasta special, which was not a particularly large portion - possibly due to the owner's loud pronouncement to the servers that it was eighty six shortly after they ordered it. My order of bouillabaise was tasty but one of the mussels was clearly dead when it was added (broken shell) and it could have used more saffron and fish pieces. A hike in price of $2.50 or so would certainly have been justified for them to get it right.
Desserts did not rise above ordinary.
We were interested in spending time with the friend in our party so did not mind a leisurely dinner but I would not dine here for a quick meal.
The big screen playing "Casablanca" silently in an endless loop was a rather outre touch.
