Gift Tips

  • Try the lamb chops or lamb shank if you want one of the restaurant’s most praised main dishes.
  • Order the grilled octopus or baked feta to start with a strong Greek appetizer selection.
  • Ask about the whole fish or branzino-style seafood options for a lighter main course.
  • Save room for dessert and try the bougatsa or baklava for a classic finish.
  • If you are dining with a group, consider the prix fixe family-style menu for an easy shared meal.
  • Ask about the Greek wine list or cocktails to pair with dinner and round out the experience.
  • The moussaka and spanakopita are good picks for a classic Greek comfort food experience.
  • Ask about the cocktails, especially the Blue Obsession, for a fun drink to pair with dinner.
