The Aegean Restaurant is back, opening on Moody Street in Waltham. I've missed dining at the Aegean Restaurant for Greek food since they closed in Framingham back in 2020. They also had another Aegean Restaurant in Watertown which closed around 2016.
The bar and dining space is in the same bright room with seating up at the bar and table seating. There are flatscreen TVs at the bar and a projection of scenes of Greece on the back wall.
I had dinner here on a recent Tuesday night when they opened for business. I sat myself up at the bar for prompt service. The bartender greeted me and set up a placemat menu and wrapped silverware in cloth napkin. I was brought over a basket of loaf bread & pita bread with a bowl of olive oil, herbs, & crumbled Feta cheese for dipping (very good and filling). I ordered my favorite Aegean Sampler ($19 plus tax) and added a Side Salad ($4 plus tax *$3 on the printed menu?) (iceberg lettuce, red onions, Greek olives, feta cheese, & dressing), decent.
The Aegean Sampler was very good. It was a tasty platter of Mousaka , Pastichio, 2 Stuffed Grape Leaves with lemon sauce, Greek sausage, & Spinach Pie with a side of Rice with Sauce. I finished my dinner and the bread and pita. I passed on dessert since I had a Zoom meeting to attend and the place became very busy with more customers arriving to check out Aegean once again.
The service here was good and prompt. My ice water glass was refilled by the bartender. It seems like they have former staff and new staff here and they are still getting back in the groove. I am so glad Aegean is back, but in a new location.
