What an absolutely delightful place. So glad I was able to stop by and enjoy their food. The ambience is cute and inviting.
I'm not sure if it was the time of day or just my good luck, but I made reservations for dining but didn't need them as the place was filled, but not crowded.
What I Ordered:
- Spanakopita:
Traditional filo pies of spinach, feta, leeks, and dill. $12
This was very tasty. Had a perfect flakiness to them with delicious inside. Highly recommended.
- Zucchini Fritters:
Zucchini with feta cheese fresh dill and eggs ,flour mint serve with tzatziki $15
It wasn't over fried or too filling. Nice balance of ingredients.
I really wanted the Arnisia Plevrakia (slowly-cooked lamb riblets, lemon, oregano, and tzatziki), but they said they were out of this meal at the moment. So instead, I had the house recommended most popular lamb,
- Arnisia Paidakia:
Grilled lamb chops with lemon-oregano vinaigrette and Kokkari potatoes. $42
Now this was delicious! My only critique is that I wanted more. I felt it was cooked to perfection (as Chef recommended). I enjoyed the natural juices and flavoring of the meat, however, my friend did state they wish it had a tad more seasoning to it. I however, thought it was authentic to the region.
And because I was hungry when I ordered. Also had...
- Greek Fries: French fries, with mild spicy garlic yogurt fondue. $9
This was the one dish I would have sent back. The fries were fried super hard and technically inedible. I appreciated the light topping of feta cheese as the rest of the dishes were so heavy with feta and yogurt sauces.
Wine: Semeli Mountain Sun 2021, Greece $16
I ask if they had a house wine, to wish they replied they did not. I was recommended to try a sampling of this wine. It had an aromatic fruity scent. However, felt it was a bit dry for my liking. There was a touch of spice, noble tannins, and a long aftertaste.
