"Opened by Michael and Jenna Morton of Crush at the MGM Grand, this 2,000-square-foot Greek restaurant occupies the former back room of Crush and features a hidden entrance; it seats about 100 guests and centers on Mediterranean, shareable plates, wood-fired flatbreads, and larger entrees. Morton Group corporate executive chef William DeMarco built a menu of classics and modern takes—small plates and starters include classic Greek spreads, house-made hummus, crispy zucchini and eggplant "Greek chips" with tzatziki ($14), baked feta, charred octopus, and a crab cake with mint yogurt purée, tomatoes, green peppers, olives, and capers (listed $19). Wood-fired pizzas and flatbreads highlight items such as a lamb meatball flatbread topped with tomatoes and tzatziki ($19), and gyro-style pita sandwiches are offered with chicken ($17), lamb ($19) or steak ($21). Entrées range from shrimp kebabs ($26) and marinated chicken skewers to branzino, grilled salmon, rack of lamb, and a feta-stuffed half chicken, with many dishes leveraging the wood-fired oven for added flavor." - Susan Stapleton
