Opa! Something for everyone...

You walk in the door and the first thing you notice is the kitchy decor. Then someone one the bottom floor nods to someone on the upper floor and you are shown to a table. Dare I say it is sort of mafia-style seating. Your drink order is taken almost immediately. Usually I am distracted from the menu by OPA! and a nuclear like wave of unexpected heat. This is the saganaki, a salty and aromatic cheese-based Greek appetizer of fried or broiled cheese set flaming in front of you with some alcohol. The dress code is casual to dressy with the casino traffic. My 2 yo son loves the peas and rice served standard with each entree. I typically get the Fisherman’s Greek salad. (Crab and shrimp on a greek salad) All fabulous.

What I ate:
  • *****

    Yummy, hot, salty fried cheese. Best spread on bread.

  • *****

    Lightly breaded chicken with a lemon caper sauce. Served with rice and peas. Very delicious.

  • *****

    Huge greek salad with tons of yummy sweet crab and shrimp.

Kitschy and Scrumptious

The menu can be a bit pricey, but the decor is just plain fun (massive statues of Poseiden and Nike, waterfalls, columns, murals, multiple levels), and the food is absolutely delicious. My favorites are the vegetatian pastitso and vegetarian moussaka platter with spinach pie, the breaded/fried zuccini with garlic/lemon/yogurt sauce, and the saganaki (kasseri cheese, lit on fire with orange brandy and doused in fresh lemon juice). And of course, they have Vernors on tap.

What I ate:
  • *****

    Moist, fresh, full of veggies and tender pasta. Yum!
