Had heard very good things about this spot for traditional Greek food, and given our affinity for…read morethis style of cuisine it was hard to pass it up! Went for an early-ish dinner, so not many folks in there yet, but we were quickly seated where we ordered some Greek wine and made a plan for our shared meal.
We love ordering "family style" at Greek restaurants (especially appetizers), but given it was only two of us we scaled our usual selections back a bit. We stuck with a menu of tzatziki, saganaki, spanakopita and gyrospfanne.
They started our meal with a complimentary pair of Ouzo shots, then we dug right in to the tzatziki served with thick-cut hearty bread slices. Shortly thereafter the saganaki (fried cheese) came out, also served with the same tzatziki on the side which paired well together given the richness of the cheese now "cut" by the bright fresh cucumber-y sauce. The spanakopita was served in a plate full of small, triangular baked pies which also was great with the tzatziki. Lastly, the gyrospfanne dish was not a traditional gyro style platter...instead it came as diced-cut gyro meat served in a cognac cream sauce with sliced peppers and onions. Alongside the meat was a portion of vegetable rice and a side salad.
A very hearty meal and we were stuffed by the end. We really enjoyed the atmosphere...would have sat outside if it was a bit cooler out but an enjoyable experience nonetheless.
