| - (Dined for lunch on 7/1/14)
Hm. So this place was fine, but not a wow for me. We did the prix-fixe lunch, which sounded like the world's greatest bargain at $22.14. But after the $10 supplement for the octopus appetizer and some wine, the bill ended up at $120 for two after tax and tip.
I was a trifle disappointed in the octopus, which seemed just a touch on the oily side to me. I did really like the shrimp saganaki as my main course. It was wonderfully flavorful. And the greek yogurt with honey and nuts was a nice dessert. (The menu said it was with strawberries and also has a no substitutions message, but when I told them I was allergic to strawberries, they graciously offered the honey and nuts option.) We had a couple of glasses of (very expensive) Greek wines which were OK. Greek wine is not my favorite, but these were better than most I've had although still not great. The service was a little tentative and felt slightly undertrained and lacking in confidence. Maybe they have the newbies working the Tuesday lunch shift.
The decor is nice, clean and white and it feels Mediterranean without being cliche about it. The dining space is HUGE, with tons of tables inside as well as a fairly large patio. For lunch in July, the patio was a little uncomfortably warm and the fans and tiny misters didn't do enough to mitigate it. In retrospect, we should have chosen to eat inside. I would say that I would probably go back and give some other appetizers a try at the bar in the future, but probably not a full meal.
