TL:DR - relaxed but upscale dining, nice atmosphere, good food
Atmosphere - cool, hip, high ceilings, nice light flooring, cool lights, comfortable chairs, relaxed upscale dining (does that sound oxymoronic?). When we arrived (weekday early pre-show dinner), they were working on the door/lights. The lights kept dimming/brightening, leading us to laugh that the prices were going up and down!
The service was pretty good. I could see they were pretty new at this, as the servers could be a little more polished. But they were trying hard. The owner was taking our orders and seemed very intent on making sure all was good.
Food:
- We got some pita bread with a dip. Not sure what it was, somewhat sweet. Good pitas. Tasted less like pitas we've had before, and more (in a good way) like a Jacob's Cream Cracker - nice density, and they were a little hard (which I liked).
- The Avgolemono Soup was good. It was different from other avgo soups I've had (I guess each place makes their own take on it). Good lemon taste, may have done with a little more lemon taste.
- The Pomegranate Souvlaki was interesting. Nicely spiced. Love the yogurt sauce that it sat in.
- The Lavraki was good, but a bit surprising. I wasn't expecting a whole intact fish, head to tail. I was thinking it was going to be a filet. It was good, nice tender flesh. The waiter offered to de-bone it for me, but I declined, I was good with doing it myself. Might be note on the menu that it comes this way, not as a filet.
There was a huge party that came in after we did, so the place was bustling when we left. The staff was hustling to serve all the customers, so good job!
