GREEKTOWN. Greece's island neighbor to the east, Cyprus, provides the bounty of luscious cuisine found at this restaurant. Mezes, the Mediterranean version of tapas, are undoubtedly the star of the menu and include temptations like grilled baby octopus with balsamic vinegar, pork meatballs with yogurt, and swordfish kebobs. If you're not in the mood to share, choose something from the entree list. Pastitsio and mousaka are here, as well as a host of scrumptious but less familiar dishes. Live Greek music on weekends is an added bonus. |
