| - Just went here last evening for my boyfriend's birthday. We went at 5:00 so we were the only people in the restaurant. This suited us just fine as the table section we were sat in was very close together. Ladies, if you have a big purse like me, careful on your way out! You might break a wine glass from a near by table as you're turning to leave....
Our waiter, I wish I could remember his name, was phenomenal. So charming and relaxed. If you get a young gentleman with a shaved head and goatee, you're in luck!
For drinks we tried the greek soda epsa portokalada, an orange soda. It was much more refreshing than we expected. I don't recal the name of the Greek wine I tried, it was very light with a touch of sweet. It was could but not as flavorful as I would have liked.
We had the croquette appetizer. There were three and we wanted six more! It was served over a tomato mousse that was delicious.
My boyfriend had the arni youvetsi (lamb shank). We went to a greek place specifically to satifsy his lamb craving. He really liked it and enjoyed the orzo it was served over, it had a cinnamon-y undertone. His only complaint was the fat he had leftover towards the end, he's not a meat-fat person.
I had the macaronia thalassina which is a shrimp and mussel spaghetti dish. This was absolutely fantastic. I don't think I've ever taken notice to how a noodle was cooked and every bite I thought the noodles were the perfect texture. The shrimp was the right texture. The herbs used were so refreshing combined with the lemon butter. I loved this entree.
So, for two entrees, an appetizer, a glass of wine and soda our bill came out to around $60.
We will more than likely be back to sit on their patio, which does only overlook a parking lot but outdoors nonetheless!
